Hey, why didn't we think of that 50 years ago? Oh, wait ...

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” after host Chuck Todd detailed a 1965 report on the African-America family written by then Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, former NBC “Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw said he was right we need to spend money to rebuild inner cites the way the Marshall Plan did in Europe after World War II.

No we don’t.
This after we’ve spent enough to colonize Mars on the cities since 1964.

“The Model Cities Program was an element of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty. In 1966, new legislation led to the more than 150 five-year-long, Model Cities experiments to develop new antipoverty programs and alternative forms of municipal government.
“The ambitious federal urban aid program succeeded in fostering a new generation of mostly black urban leaders. However, the nation moved to the right after the urban riots of the late 1960s. This led to a shift in goals to bricks and mortar housing and building projects. The program ended in 1974.”
From the Humane Society website:
“Wild animals who depend on people for food can cause injuries or spread disease. When wild animals gather for food handouts, it can cause crowding and competition. These unnatural conditions increase the chances of fighting and injury among animals. It can also increase the spread of diseases, some of which may be transmitted to pets and humans.”
Unfortunately animals get more respect than human beings.
This is exactly why I supported the Michigan bailout of Detroit as the better of two bad options.
If Michigan deal with our own problem, other states can deal with theirs.
They have had a leftist solution for the last forty years. That has yielded what we have today.
Yes; they won’t admit the Marshall Plan for the cities has gone on for 50 years (with no results - except worsening the crisis).
And after the moral/cultural problem is fixed, no money will be needed.
They constantly pull that trick. Pretend that everything that has gone before never happened. Act like we've been doing zero for the last fifty years to "help the cities."
It works with the Low-Information Voters.
Wall them off and let them take care of themselves
To do what? What the inner cities need are jobs. What companies to set up and provide those jobs is an educated, drug-free, responsible workforce. Without the later you will never get the former, so it’s necessary for the local citizens to clean up their act first.
Who is going to forgive our astronomical debt as certain recipients of the Marshall Plan got their war debt forgiven?
With all due respect, shove-it. We have spent $22 Trillion on the War on Poverty aka the Marshall Plan for US cities. Too bad you and your idiot Liberal bros and sistahs effed it all up. In particular the The Great PoohBah of all The Great PoohBahs, the Greatest Community Organizers of them all, President Obama. He did crap for the poor when he was in Chicago and as an Illinois Senator. The only think he did was vote Present. Yet, you and the rest of MSM thought he was ready for Prime Time. And now look, Race Wars everywhere.

Id rather take the 15 billion we borrow from China each year, and give to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, and instead give that to American cities.
Or better yet, not borrow it at all.
The difference between 1945 and now is the incompetence and corruption of the current benefactors and the greed, laziness and hatred of the current beneficiaries.
Hey, Tom! If you want to see a US Marshall Plan at work, visit darn near any Indian Reservation. Works great!!
Well, at least with young ones; older people (of all races) understand that this is code for “buy peace with money for drugs, alcohol, etc.” to sedate the permanent underclass. Older black educators have no misconceptions about what is wrong, and also understand that throwing more money at the problem doesn’t help; they watch hard-working Africans enter their schools and excel with little money.
It’s not the city but the people who live in them. That’s where the problem lies and always has.
