Baltimore Received $1.8 Billion from Obama’s Stimulus Law

The city of Baltimore received over $1.8 billion from President Barack Obama’s stimulus law, including $467.1 million to invest in education and $26.5 million for crime prevention.

President Obama claimed last Tuesday that if the Republican-controlled Congress would implement his policies to make “massive investments in urban communities,” they could “make a difference right now” in the city, currently in upheaval following the death of Freddie Gray.

However, a Washington Free Beacon analysis found that the Obama administration and Democratically-controlled Congress did make a “massive” investment into Baltimore, appropriating $1,831,768,487 though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), commonly known as the stimulus.

obama always blaming it on someone else and he can get away with it because his voter base is the lowest of the low information crowd.

I would say that that was a very heavy investment and subsequently a huge waste of money. What positive results came about from this so-called "investment"? Or on the flip side just imagine how bad it would've been had the "investment" not have been made.

Got to love those democrats.

I could be wrong but I doubt it.
