Breitbart ^ | 2015-05-03 | Pam Key

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.

What we, the nation, are up against is a very large percentage of the population, The Black Underclass, for whom nothing can be done. That's the ugly truth that the elites don't want to face.

The "elites" of either "side", left or right.

It’s just incredible that we are now at the 50th anniversary of many programs which were to solve the problems of disparate outcomes. And after fifty years of those original programs and many added on in the interim, the problems persist and all we hear is the need for even more programs - and more spending - to solve the same problems which have in some ways gotten worse depspite fifty years of government programs.

He’s right you know. If we populate those cities with German and Japanese folks, those cities will flourish under a Marshall plan.

Just like a low level reformat of a hard drive. That’s all a lot of these urban centers need. Like Baltimore

Yep internet has Tom Brokaw at 70 million new worth. This gives him lots of millions to invest in the inner cities

the Marshall plan is premature until the inner cities are destroyed, bombed out

Thinking is hard for him without a teleprompter.

I never thought he was too bright but he is worth 70 million while you and I are not

let’s not forget the ill-mannered, disrespectful children, teenagers in our schools. We need boot camp schools for education the ones who back-talk the teachers, crap in the stairwells, destroy school property, etc.

Get our schools under control, get the drugs off the street then maybe we can talk about jobs and better housing.

My suggestion for a “marshall plan” is for all Marshalls to arrest, detain and incarcerate all LIB morons who have the nerve (and bad taste) to yabber about their ideas and beliefs. These LIB asshats are insufferable.

Bad news, the Marshall Plan beneficiaries will be the millions of immigrants who are to be the new client class.

We do not need government buildings and services in the cities - more than what we already have. We need a change in the culture of the cities and if that does not change - from the people - forgetaboutit. Build more prisons.
