    I find the media’s Trump-theatrics tiresome.

    You didn't answer the question. Is it better to leave blighted areas as is rather than allow gentrification?

    You mean Trump's undermining Justice, the Press, water and environmental standards, US intelligence services and long term relationships with US allies?

    I heard about it, and I don't even have cable. You get emails from these places you say don't report, Volscrock.

    I don't what blight means to you, but I'm talking about homes that are boarded up. Nobody but crackheads are living in them.

    For instance, you basically had to actively search to find any mention of the Opportunity and Revitalization Council, a $100 billion initiative to deliver growth in urban communities.

    “With the creation of today’s council, the resources of the whole federal government will be leveraged to rebuild low-income and impoverished neighborhoods that have been ignored by Washington in years past,” the president said at a Wednesday event in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, where an executive order establishing the council was signed.

    “Our goal is to ensure that America’s great new prosperity is broadly shared by all of our citizens. Our country is doing better than ever, economically, and we’re able to do that.”

    The council will be led by Ben Carson, head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

    Trump has done more for Black Americans than any President in over a hundred years.

    Take 5 billion out of that and build the wall. That will help blacks more.
    So why would our 6 multinational corporate state owned press black this all out again?

    01/31/18 09:20 AM—UPDATED 02/01/18 03:39 PM
    By Steve Benen

    It’s become a running joke for those who cover the White House: in Trump World, every week is “Infrastructure Week.” It tends to get laughs because Donald Trump and his team have repeatedly suggested some kind of ambitious plan is in the works, but they never follow through with anything substantive.

    And so it seemed notable that the president brought up the issue in his State of the Union – and included a new price tag:

    “Tonight, I’m calling on Congress to produce a bill that generates at least $1.5 trillion for the new infrastructure investment that our country so desperately needs. Every federal dollar should be leveraged by partnering with state and local governments and, where appropriate, tapping into private sector investment to permanently fix the infrastructure deficit.”

    The dollar figure was apparently jarring to Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who told Politico last night that “$1.5 trillion, I think, kind of sucked the oxygen out of the room for a moment, as no one expected a number that big.” He added, “And the obvious thing is, where are we with debt and deficit and how are we going to be able to pull it together?”

    The answer is, you won’t be able to pull it together – because Trump’s infrastructure “plan” isn’t real in any meaningful sense.


    The HuffPost’s Igor Bobic summarized the issue nicely:

    Trump’s latest plan will seek to leverage $200 billion in direct federal spending into an additional $800 billion in infrastructure investment from states, cities, nonprofits and the private sector. The plan puts a greater onus on state and local officials to find additional revenue to fund the projects, which will likely mean allowing more tolls or usage fees to create revenue streams that lure in private investors. The challenge is especially difficult for communities in rural areas – many of which supported Trump in 2016 – where fewer people are available to help spread the cost of new infrastructure.

    What does this have to do with the OP?

    I don't know why Kudzu quoted this with what he did, but it let me see what you're saying. Why is it the looniest of the bunch always obsess about sock accounts? I have a sock account, but not anything like that. You'll know mine, because they will be pointlessly quirky, with targeted annoyance. I'll even post with my sock after this. P.S. I am not an asshole.
