First There Was Clunkers For Cash: Now There is Bulldoze a House with Shrink to Survive

Obama plans to spend billions of dollars in throwing away the old to create new. First there was the Clunkers for Cash plan which gives people credit towards new cars for turning in their older cars. Now Obama thinks bulldozing houses down just may save the neighborhood.

The plan is called Shrink to Survive. It's basically a plan to bulldoze houses down in cities like Flint, Michigan and return the neighborhoods to nature. This is supposed to save the city the bulldozing is done in, but other than the bulldozers and trash men, it seems like there is little opportunity to bring back the jobs that left Flint years ago. In other words, Obama plans to spend more money to get little results.

Just because Flint has a new nature preserve doesn't mean there is going to be rush to invest in the community. Now if Obama and the government replaces the GM plants, then there might be some interest in Flint. We all know a leaner GM will rely on less union and more overseas workers, which is one of the reasons Flint became a ghost town.

How could anyone take this proposal seriously? Leave it to Barack Obama to even consider such a plan. Billions of your tax dollars will be spent for something a good organized fire could accomplish. What happened to we are out of money anyway?

I'd like to know what you think. Leave a comment.
