Donny was always asking inner city residents what they had to lose while he was running his lie infested campaign. Well based on his budget they have quite a bit more to lose, as he has cut $6.2 billion in program money from the HUD budget which was being used as block grant funding for a myriad of actions to improve the quality of life for inner city residents.

Guess Donny was lying again to inner city residents and his african american!

Improving the quality of life of inner-cities includes less section 8 which are magnet for violent crime and havens of unwed pregnancy.

The inner-cities that are having issues need be more efficient with the resources they have, rather then wasteful. They have more then enough to house every one but most inner-cities are busy spending it on subsidies for brand-new districts, pensions, extremely high workers compensation and also being a rubber stamps for what ever the unions wish.

People should pay market-rate rent for whatever they rent whether it's a room, apartment or house and get a free ride from more federal debt.

Section 8 responsible for women in poverty getting comfortable and starting large families as a career, rather then working and bettering themselves.

There would be millions less in poverty today if they had much less section 8 then what has been the case. Millions of women and men staying at home having more children they can't afford, eating up a storm and watching television and smoking cigarettes because of section 8, rather then a nice day of hard work to pay the rent that the market would naturally be set at.

Section 8 is good when it allocated towards seniors, veterans and the physically disabled.

If these cities and states want all these goodies, they can always raise taxes and allocate money from their general fund budgets towards welfare handouts if they wish.

Hard-working farmers, ranchers and manufacturing workers who work hard every minute shouldn't be subsidizing the lazy lifestyle that is a much higher percentage of the population in inner-cities.

Can't speak for other states but in NJ the inner cities get wads of cash thrown at them with little to no accountability.

The power of the old style political machines at their finest.

The only "winners" under the Trump administration will be the 1%ers.

Excellent post. Sadly it will fall on deaf ears when it comes to Trump hating liberals. For some reason they suffer from one dimensional thinking. And sure enough, the responses on this thread have all been knee jerk reactions on how evil Trump is and how the 1% is responsible..sad
