"Democratically" (dog whistle) controlled cities

[IM2]

No matter how badly republicans fuck up, they cannot take responsibility.. The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule, but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years, but it's not republican federal policy or state controlled by republicans trying to create 37state trickle down economic zones. No, It's the "liberal democratic urban mayors."

To be fair, 2008 was not any party's fault. That was irresponsible lending practices by big banks, who then raided the treasury because they were "too big to fail" but they got to foreclose and keep most of the "toxic" assets ON TOP of the bailout money. Everyone should be pissed about that.

Otherwise, I am not sure what policies have been making urban areas "all fucked up." They probably just go with the territory. Urban areas will have really "rich" areas and really "shitty" areas. It usually doesn't matter who gets elected. The shitty areas get less attention.

.

That happened because of Gramm-Leech-Blilley.

Gov. Hogan’s decisions cause rift with Baltimore leaders
By Josh Hicks

July 12, 2015
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s decisions to kill an expensive light-rail project in Baltimore and reduce funding for schools have stirred tension with the city’s political leaders, who are questioning his commitment to addressing the struggling residents’ needs.

Hogan, a white, Republican businessman and first-time officeholder, campaigned last year in Baltimore as a common-man candidate who could deliver economic growth and job opportunities better than his rival, then-lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown (D), who is black.

He won about 22 percent of the vote in the predominantly African American, strongly Democratic city, compared with 16 percent captured by former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) in 2010, when he ran against incumbent Martin O’Malley (D).

Hogan was a visible presence in Baltimore after riots erupted there in late April following the death of Freddie Gray, who was seriously injured while in police custody. The governor spent more than 15 hours a day in the city at times, meeting with residents and community leaders during a state of emergency, and even shooting hoops with locals.

But Hogan risks losing ground in Baltimore because of two actions that he says reflect his focus on fiscal restraint: his rejection last month of the Red Line light-rail project — even as he approved a similarly expensive project in the Washington suburbs — and his decision in May to withhold $68 million in aid for high-cost school districts, including $11 million for Baltimore.

“Although the governor has promised to support economic growth in Baltimore, he cancelled a project that would have expanded economic development, created thousands of jobs, increased access to thousands more, and offered residents better health care, child care, and educational opportunities,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) said in a statement after the Red Line announcement.

Because a Republican shot down two transportation projects, the 50 year plight of Baltimore’s problems are because of Republicans? Dog whistles?

Do you even live in Maryland? For what it’s worth, I voted for Hogan but disagreed with him for shooting down these projects....., but I fail to see where dog whistles come into play.

From Ferguson to Baltimore: The Fruits of Government-Sponsored Segregation

The dog whistles come in the form of not saying anything about majority white cities run by white republican mayors and decrepit rural all white communities. That and entire states run by republicans like Kentucky for example .

Baltimore got slammed during the recession, which had nothing to do with black democratic government decisions. But a fact like this gets ignored by those like you. So while Trump is at it, why not ask Mitch McConnell about Louisville or in fact his entire state?

Louisville, Kentucky

•Percentage of incomes under $25,000: 29%
•Percentage of population with bachelor's degree: 26.9%
•Percentage of incomes over $150,000: 6.4% (#23, tied with Baltimore)
•Total population: 601,611

Poverty is a statewide issue in Kentucky, where close to one-fifth of residents, or about 800,000 people, are considered poor. Kentucky's largest city, Louisville, has been coping with decades of lost manufacturing jobs, deindustrialization and economic upheaval. Even before the Great Recession, the city's West Louisville community was considered one of the most economically depressed urban neighborhoods in the nation.

America's 11 poorest cities

McConnell represents this state, but we don't see anybody here looking to him.

My home state just got wrecked by 2 terms of republican governance. Christie Fucked up New Jersey. Scott Walker fucked up Wisconsin. The poorest states in the country are run by republicans, but republicans are pointing fingers a democratic urban mayors who are at the mercy of decisions made by state governments.

Ask Flint Michigan.

Hogan, a white, Republican businessman and first-time officeholder, campaigned last year in Baltimore as a common-man candidate who could deliver economic growth and job opportunities better than his rival, then-lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown (D), who is black.

He won about 22 percent of the vote in the predominantly African American, strongly Democratic city, compared with 16 percent captured by former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) in 2010, when he ran against incumbent Martin O’Malley (D).

Hogan was a visible presence in Baltimore after riots erupted there in late April following the death of Freddie Gray, who was seriously injured while in police custody. The governor spent more than 15 hours a day in the city at times, meeting with residents and community leaders during a state of emergency, and even shooting hoops with locals.

But Hogan risks losing ground in Baltimore because of two actions that he says reflect his focus on fiscal restraint: his rejection last month of the Red Line light-rail project — even as he approved a similarly expensive project in the Washington suburbs — and his decision in May to withhold $68 million in aid for high-cost school districts, including $11 million for Baltimore.

“Although the governor has promised to support economic growth in Baltimore, he cancelled a project that would have expanded economic development, created thousands of jobs, increased access to thousands more, and offered residents better health care, child care, and educational opportunities,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) said in a statement after the Red Line announcement.

Independent here-both parties are corrupt and lazy. Don't blame just Republicans-both Trump and Cummings can accept blame for these conditions on their watch.

So President Trump starts it by getting people to realize how fucked up Baltimore is, and Cummings who has been in Baltimore forever is just now waking up?

Except that's not the case.

Sounds logical-both are at fault in different measures.

No matter how badly republicans fuck up, they cannot take responsibility.. The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule, but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years, but it's not republican federal policy or state controlled by republicans trying to create 37state trickle down economic zones. No, It's the "liberal democratic urban mayors."

I'm blaming republicans for what they have done, just I as blamed O'Malley for the problems he created there. However, republicans here never want to accept their own failed policies.

Neither party EVER wants to accept blame for failure.

To be fair, 2008 was not any party's fault. That was irresponsible lending practices by big banks, who then raided the treasury because they were "too big to fail" but they got to foreclose and keep most of the "toxic" assets ON TOP of the bailout money. Everyone should be pissed about that.

Otherwise, I am not sure what policies have been making urban areas "all fucked up." They probably just go with the territory. Urban areas will have really "rich" areas and really "shitty" areas. It usually doesn't matter who gets elected. The shitty areas get less attention.

.

That happened because of Gramm-Leech-Blilley.

Every time the Republicans get in for 8 years they have a corrupt economic meltdown based on deregulation and crony oversight. When will people figure this out for crying out loud? 1929 1989 2008 and if Trump gets 8 years it'll happen again.....

What democratic failure was that? None that I know of. Republicans you name it. 911 through sheer incompetence, the stupidest Wars ever and a corrupt economic meltdown under the George W bush, Ronald Reagan and his pal Saddam and the s&l Scandal bubble recession, all the while a giant giveaway to the rich and a screw job for everyone else. Only the GOP propaganda machine and brainwashed dupes make this possible. Poor America.

it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years

Correct.

And the more the Republicans can fuck up city hall, the better off we will all be in the long run for it.

So President Trump starts it by getting people to realize how fucked up Baltimore is, and Cummings who has been in Baltimore forever is just now waking up?

While you have been on the GOP propaganda machine, Democrats have been complaining forever about tax cuts on the rich to the point where we now have a flat tax system and the effect it has inequality and upward Mobility, now the worst in our history and in the modern world by far.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule,

You do know that you just lied?
Pelosi elected House speaker for the second time

It is funny that as soon as she took over Congress and had the purse strings of the USA, the economy tanked...

And now you just lied

Nancy Pelosi got in Jan of 2007 when did the crash happen?

The US bear market of 2007–2009 was a 17-month bear market that lasted from October 9, 2007

You are such a dick, who never does his homework. I had you on ignore for a reason, I dont like lowering my IQ to match yours.

[BluesLegend]

but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault.

Democrats intentionally ran the economy into the ditch so they could win the 2008 election. After they took control of congress in 2006 they dedicated the next 2 years toward this effort.

A few months after Obama was sworn into office in 2009 the idiot was still spewing the doom and gloom economic narrative. Bill Clinton had to take him aside and tell him hey dummy you won, stop being so negative on the economy.
