The deep cuts to community development have been titled the "Strengthening America's Communities Initiative".
from the Washington Post
“Administration officials have begun an effort to consolidate 18 different economic and community development programs from five different departments into a single grant program at the Commerce Department. Programs with combined budgets totaling nearly $5.7 billion would be shoehorned into a $3.7 billion package. The largest component, the $4.1 billion Community Development Block Grant, could be cut as much as 40 percent.
The deep cuts to community development have been titled the Strengthening America's Communities Initiative."
“But administration officials acknowledge that for every program on the chopping block, there will be constituencies that will fight hard to protect them. Mayors, governors, community activists and senators from both political parties have already mobilized to thwart the community development cuts.”

We gaze idly at the carnage around us, sigh, and go calmly back to our coffees and our People magazines.
We can’t stop buying useless crap, though we’re drowning in a deepening pool of debt.
We think we’re activists because we bitch all day on the internet, but we reelect the same gangsters at a 99% rate.
We consider ourselves informed because we waste significant portions of our lives watching the same three news stories cycle over and over again on our gargantuan, aerodynamic television sets while we eat processed food.
We really thought everything would be okay if Kerry won.
Not only do we believe in an invisible man who magically farted out the universe, we also excoriate and marginalize those who disagree.
We have a poorer understanding of our country’s foreign policy history than third world peasants, but we can’t wait to see what Julia Roberts will be wearing at the Oscars.
We cheer as Ukrainians challenge an election based on exit poll data, but keep waiting around for someone else to fix our problems.
We can’t think, we can’t organize and we won’t act.
We are fat.
Amen...er, uhm, I mean: right. So, what are YOU doing about all this?
