So we have already in effect done the “Marshall Plan” for the cities. And here we are 50 years later, and inner cities are in the same sad conditions as before.
Could it be that money alone won’t solve these problems?
Slightly off topic, but Baltimore has the same problems in their schools as all big cities. But I heard that Baltimore spends much more per capita than the national average on education.
So, if we pick on an area such as schools to improve in the inner city, where some cities already spend much more than average, what would more money really do in such cases????
“According to Christopher DeMuth, the Model Cities program received just under $3 billion by the end of 1974, and was “the most unequivocal failure of all the ‘Great Society’ programs”
