His comments make no sense. You don't simply give groups money in this country. Foreign aid comes from a budget. Discretionary spending for domestic shyt has to be approved by congress. It's worth noting the budget Obama signed a couple days ago has the highest discretionary spending in years. Congress has clamped down on that shyt ever since republicans took over in 2010.
The stimulus had plenty of money that went towards inner cities with infrastructure projects, school shyt, etc. Outside of that there hasn't been much direct domestic spending, outside of pet projects n shyt.
In short, Obama isn't the one writing the checks. That's not the president's job - all he does is sign the check that he's given from congress. Pumping money into the hood isn't some fix all. I had to dap
@DEAD7 but I'll agree that there's a long history of shyt like this not helping anyone but the higher ups (ie people who buy the real estate, construction groups, city movers n shakers, etc). If you want to fix cities it has to start at the state level IMO. You got cacs in many states shutting off tax dollars to inner cities. Which is why many inner city schools don't have good resources. Or why Detroit is getting starved, as tax revenue goes to surrounding suburbs but not the city.
the president is important n all but yall need to start voting in state and local elections. That has WAY more direct impact on your daily life
