Unbelievable… Democrat Asks For $48 BILLION EARMARK to Redistribute Wealth to Inner City

No, this is not a joke.
The Mother of All Earmarks…
Liberal Representative Emanuel Cleaver has proposed a whopping $48 BILLION EARMARK that would redistribute wealth to the inner cities.

This is theft.
The Southeast Missourian reported:
Rep. Cleaver has proposed a $48 billion earmark
When absurdity gives way to hilarity, you must be talking about politics.In the midst of a colossal global concern for the economic stability of our great nation, Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri’s 5th Congressional District representative, has one small earmark on his wish list that deserves some attention.
Cleaver has listed a new earmark — one of several — and he promises to “fight for every one.” But this is a whopping $48 billion package that must go down as the grandaddy of all earmarks.
Proposed by a gentleman named Lamar Mickens, president of the not-for-profit Quality Day Campus, the $48 billion earmark would funnel money into the inner cities to give money to the poor and thereby produce a much larger consumer class to buy the goods and services produced in this country.
Just call this redistribution on steroids.
Cleaver’s office says this of the proposal:
“The Epicenter is a proposed estimated $48 billion (Phase One) mass scale urban reclamation project for combating, reducing, reversing and/or eliminating poverty within under served communities by utilizing mass scale economic redevelopment to bring about stability and self reliance.
Hat Tip Lee
You sure wouldn’t wouldn’t have heard this if you only followed the state-run media. They’re too busy attacking Republicans for their hundred thousand dollar earmarks.
More… Ace adds:
I like that “(Phase One)” in parentheses. I’m searching to find out what the hell Phase Two could possibly be, but no one seems to know.
I’m thinking if 48 billion is the foot in the door, Phase Two has got to involve real money.
Pony up.

It would be cheaper and better to just bulldoze these liberal meccas. Think of the carbon credits we could get for doing that … Turning cities into productive natural fields.

Or, in a few words, grand theft.

He wants the “inner city” to get their “Pigford style” payout because they weren’t qualified to claim to be minority farmers. Simply outrageous.

What a mental midget with balls the size of basketballs.
Hey give us $48 billion dollars to give to poor people so they can be self reliant !
Somebody needs a serious a$$ whooping

Isn’t this the same fool who still accuses TEA partiers of calling him racist slurs when he was wagging his tail behind Nazi Policei @ the Capitol ?
gastorgrab commented:
Are these “inner city” ‘poor black farmers’?
aanvals commented:
wow, just like in Atlas Shrugged.
tommy mc donnell commented:
“underserved communities!” the truth is there are government services in the inner cities of america than anywhere else in the country. its axiomatic that the degree to which a neighborhood is unlivible is in direct proportion to the amonut of government services it recieves. this will just be a giant slush fund for all the “poverty pimps” in america.
Finncrisp commented:
Wow! Rep. Cleaver has apparently moved to Tonedeafistan to have proposed such an outlandish spreading of pork.
This has to be as out of touch as one can get. Last time I checked, there was very soft, jobless recovery going on, our money is getting devalued, our energy production is being crippled, and our light bulbs are now 100% made overseas using that new Green toxin, Mercury.
Is there any doubt that this man is devoid of a sense of what is actually going on in this country?
Redwine commented:
Earmarks = Redistribution = Theft
Kill the bill!
befuddled commented:
what a splendid idea. give a bunch of urban dwellers 46 billion to buy more crap from Wal Mart. this will surely change our status around the world. perhaps these “urban” people need to start pinning their hopes on an education rather than the government lottery?

Translation ::
$ 48 billion for the freeloading moochers of a certain color who need more money to buy big screen TVs and presson nails , which are all incidently , made in China.
Its Obama money. He got it from his stash .

Not just no, but HELL NO!
Btw, doesn’t that look like uncle Woody from Sanford and Son, the drunk who was married to aunt Ester. I didn’t know he was still alive.
wow commented:
It’s theft any way you look at it, but while we’re criticizing the left, we shouldn’t forget our side.. Cornyn and Thune account for 70 of the earmarks in this disgusting Omnibus bill. Looks like some still haven’t learned their lesson.
