Lost cause

The federal government's delusion optimism knows no limits:

GARY, Ind. - Sen. Evan Bayh says the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has established a "Gary Project" that will try to turn the gritty lakefront city into a national model for urban revitalization.

Bayh told The Times of Merrillville that he was notified Wednesday by HUD Deputy Secretary Ron Sims that the agency plans to assemble a team of national experts by mid-September that will look at Gary's urban decay and bringing economic development to the city.

There have been countless plans for Gary

Well, until and unless Gary ADMITS that they have an ETHNIC problem in their city, nothing WILL ever change.

Makes you think, when they feature a portion OF that city in a History Channel show entitled LIFE AFTER PEOPLE.
(while people still live there)
Gee...looks JUST LIKE parts of DETROIT.
(another ethnic cesspool)

But like Gary, people are too SCARED to say that, for fear of being called all sorts of names.
I'm not.

Good luck with another colossal waste of taxpayer money, gang. Leo "gets it" when he says "AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN".

Maybe Indiana could lease the town to a European consortium needing to expand its confinement facilities operations. Or maybe Chicago could annex it and then it would become someone else's problem. That will be $140,000, please.

And what, pray tell, is an "ethnic problem?"

Ethnic Problem:
A detrimental issue (or issues) created by those of an ethnic persuasion.
(how's that?)
Simple enough?

Detrimental issue?

Ethnic persuasion?

What exactly are you trying to say?

Translation: social unrest in an economically depressed area populated by nonwhites and exacerbated by grandstanding political demagogues; another form of social control used by the power structure to play factions against one another.
