There is a term called equivalency that is rarely used nowadays.
When Mayor Garcetti writes to Trump and states...
"It is clear that no local government, including ours, can address homelessness on our own," Garcetti said in the letter. "For many years, the federal government has woefully underfunded our housing safety net, contributing to homelessness. The federal government cut HUD funding for the production of new housing and preservation by 31% for the 2016-2018 time period, and according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, only one in four low-income families who qualify for housing assistance actually receive it. This pressure is acutely felt here in Los Angeles, where 36,000 people experience homelessness on any given night." end quote.
One has to ask, where is the equivalency?
Can there be anything more punkish than to blame the Federal Government for LA housing policies when the same entity that is blaming the Federal Government for lack of funding also defies the Federal Government at every turn when it comes to anything to do with Undocumented Immigration? California filed papers within hours after Trump had come up with a proposal to fund the Border Wall with funds from the Military to protest Trump's move.
So as long as the Federal Government does what Garcetti wants, Garcetti never has to do what the Federal Government wants?
So as long as the Federal Government does what Garcetti wants, Garcetti never has to do what the Federal Government wants?
The same knee jerk, punkish reactions happened a year ago when Trump discussed issues like Forest Management concepts that WERE NOT BEING DONE and was ridiculed by late night TV for suggesting raking the forest would help reduce forest fires. Actually, raking the forests would not be a bad first step.
This type of Punkish BS is constantly spewing from Progressives and the Media. Take anything Trump says, and either blame Trump, ridicule Trump, or call him a racist.
This country will be in a world of hurt if Trump loses in 2020 because of the outlandish, childish, punkish, conniving actions I have witnessed over the past couple of years from Progessive politicians and the media. Rewarding Progressive behavior with the Presidency will just embolden Progs to basically destroy the quality of life for any one over the age of 60.
There used to be a saying, don't trust anyone over 30. Pretty soon the new saying could be, don't trust anyone who is a Progressive if you are over 55.
