Lol,. Xiv. Is clearly a shite troll, much like Lester.
Those liberal led cities have been ran into the ground by Democrats for 60, some 70 plus years and we're crumbling long before Reagan,. So excuse?

When the federal government (led by a Republican President) transforms the country’s infrastructure with an interstate highway system and then slashes federal funding to cities (under leadership of another Republican President) right as urban population peaks at the end of an unprecedented population boom 30 years later, it’s important to hammer home the “welfare queen” talking point so you can keep fools from realizing that the latter Republican President is to blame for his disastrous policy. Also, make drug addiction and homeless issues of personal moral failure and not of societal concern.

Story about Jack Del Rio;
He played baseball at USC. They had a game at UC Santa Barbara and the UCSB fans (the Hammerheads) back then were out of control. Del Rio was on one knee in the on deck circle and he put his ear right up next to the fence where the hammerheads were telling at him. Their mouths and his ear was no more then 6 inches apart. They were saying things about his mom, his girlfriend, you name it. He didn't react at all. He goes to bat and hits the first pitch over the scoreboard. Never acknowledged the hammerheads, just slapped hands and went back into the dugout.

Yep. Reagan cutting MHSA and waging the misguided war on drugs (especially the part where crack offenders got popped for longer sentences than powder offenders—nice touch) has cost us decades of progress when it comes to homelessness. 1+1=2
And if federal spending hadn’t been cut from cities right as they reached their peak population, fewer people would have left for suburbs, infrastructure would remain more intact, public transit would be in way better shape, and gas prices would hurt the average American a LOT less.
The scam of suburbia worked for a generation or so thanks only to its being subsidized by city money. You didn’t build that.

He is right. It was not an insurrection. Ignorant or elites using their ignorant keep using that term just like they do constantly saying don’t say gay bill.
Many ways to have supported Floyd situation peacefully. Not thinking blacks can be reasonable, objective, and peaceful when protesting is also racist. Guessing there will always be some that come in wanting to cross the line and some short term emotional outbursts the first day or maybe next day (still should be held accountable), but billions of damages, multiple lives taken including ironically black lives, and many more people injured physically and financially across multiple months aren’t legal protests or even an emotional outburst and much closer to being a planned and supported insurrection/rebellion over time than Jan 6th.
Some of most long lasting insurrection actions by blm rebels had local and state Govt authorities refusing to act like they were doing anything wrong which also helped not have their respective supporters including people in political office or past ones running for office again be seen as giving aid and comfort to blm rebels. They actually refused federal help for citizens because of politics including DC and then in Jan 2021 Democrats requested national guard in DC for no reason other than political theatre.
This blurring of people who were in DC and others who think elections in many states allowed fraud to basically be norm in 2020 and of the people who breached capital illegally is purely political as was the 14th amendment attempts to get some politicians off ballots and ignores every time Democrats challenged elections including at the electoral vote. It also ignores threats made by a Democratic Senator towards named Supreme Court justices (and other recent attempts to coerce Supreme Court justices in a decision that hasn’t been officially decided). Ignores a Democratic Representative’s incitement of violence asked on politics. A social media platform was shut down by elites to quiet opposing voices that has had little evidence to date of breach being discussed with more about chatting on a Facebook group coming out than on Parler and not even enough to fit even weakest usage of terms conspiracy and planning.

The decline of New Orleans and virtually all big cities can be directly tied to Reagan slashing federal funding to cities. This move has never been fully reversed/rectified. Additionally, Reagan’s cutting of the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 can be directly tied to an increase in homelessness. Homeless people, like virtually all marginalized groups, gravitate toward cities.
The talking point that far left policies are to blame for cities’ decline doesn’t hold much water. Crumbling cities are the legacy of Reagan, as well as his successors whose collective bipartisan ineptitude has been costly.
Is the newest ignorant talking point of the left or just yours?
If constitutionally cities are responsibility of the fed I bet you wish Clinton, Obama, and Biden had at least 2 years each of Democratic control of congress to fix this or even a super majority even once would have fixed it especially if implementing a major Affordable healthcare bill. Throw in nearly 17.5 years out last 29.5 years with Democratic Presidents (including 9.5 of the past 13.5 years) having a pen and a phone to issue decrees and even longer Democratic control of these cities, but they keep getting worse.

This is one of the biggest failures of the Democrats over the last 40 years-- the refusal to accept or take any personal responsibility. Now, there's no reason "society" can't help these people, but to preach,and pound into the weak minded that "nothing is their faul" , "its society's fault" contributes more to drug addiction or homelessness than any thing a Republican president has done.

Give them hell, brother. Until folk are willing to invest in the community and the youth, we will not be getting out of these problems.

I can't speak for other cities, but I've lived almost my entire life in New Orleans. The fact that you think Ronald Reagan or any Republican is primarily responsible for the ills of Nola is batshit insane my man. I'm no rah-rah Republican but the mayor's office, sheriff's office, school board, AG office have been run by Democrats for 100 years. To blame another party is not being objective.

Every cent the federal government spends on entitlement programs and giveaways are not only wasted, but worsen the problem.
