Most of that money will end up in the pockets of the crooks who caused Detroit's problems in the first place.

They need their walking around money, you know.

How does Obama have discretion to spend billions and billions on his pet projects and graft?

And where does he get the money for the same for Chicago and/or Los Angeles and/or . . .

Plenty of other places are circling the drain financially.

Actually, the ‘connected’ folks in Detroit will help themselves—to the grant money. Little will be accomplished, but a lot of money will be redistributed. Just another straw in the haywagon of the Looting of America.

Sure, that will buy a lot of Skittles and grape soda.

I know that this isn’t a lot if money to the federal government, but are t we supposed to be broke? White House tours and stuff were called off because of the sequester and now these heckbirds in Detroit are being rewarded for their corruption and idiocy. What if Bush had done something like this? This one really made me mad.

“this story started to surface last week, then it was 100 million.”

So, was he lying then or is he lying now? Besides, what’s a couple of hundred million when you’re broke?

Insane. A third of a billion dollars just flushed down the crapper formerly known as Detroit.

These millions being poured into housing will house people who do WHAT for a living.

Note to Pelosi.

Ok airhead, just where pray tell did you find this little bag of $320 MILLION in funds if as you say, “The cupboard is bare?”

All of the money will be subverted to the crooks that are the Democrat party.

They must be eliminated.

Well, it certainly doesn't explain this in the article...I guess Barry & Eric will DEEM their deeds (financed by the taxpaying suckas) done.

This is exactly what I predicted would happen.

Conservatives sit around and snark rather than working on solutions and Obama comes riding to the rescue.
