Been looking at the history of Baltimore regarding our tax dollars - from The Washington Free Beacon:
Baltimore Received $1.8 Billion from Obama’s Stimulus Law
The city of Baltimore received over $1.8 billion from President Barack Obama’s stimulus law, including $467.1 million to invest in education and $26.5 million for crime prevention.
President Obama claimed last Tuesday that if the Republican-controlled Congress would implement his policies to make "massive investments in urban communities," they could "make a difference right now" in the city, currently in upheaval following the death of Freddie Gray.
However, a Washington Free Beacon analysis found that the Obama administration and Democratically-controlled Congress did make a "massive" investment into Baltimore, appropriating $1,831,768,487 though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), commonly known as the stimulus.
This article is from May 4, 2015. Once a shithole city, always a shithole city. Used to be really nice 40 years ago.
Tell me again why we have to pay for this kind of corruption and malfeasance?
