Once more you have failed to actually understand the meaning behind the wording. Anyone can read the 2nd amendment, yet a huge number can not explain it as if they were from the 18th century. Made worst is your personal delight in hoping things fail for America to some warp way 'get even with the President'.
The idea behind the 'promised zones' as I understand it, is to do effectively the opposite of the 'trickle down theory'. Through the use of grants and other programs, those in the affected areas might see an increase into their way of life. Like a ship in a bad storm that suddenly see's a way out to calmer waters. The trick for that ship captian, much like those individuals in that area, are given a chance to steer towards calmer waters. Understand the folks in those areas really feel they have no chance. The 'American Dream' to them, is such a myth as to be laugh at rather than taken seriously. They will not become millionaires or even 'well off' over night. In fact some of them will simply remain right were they are. The remainder however, have an opportunity and for a small group, a chance to really do something with it. Just enough nodging helps those people rise from the utter crap of their current situation towards a better life for themselves, their families and maybe the community.
Recall the nature of the recession right now for most of America. We have the 'supply' yet, not the 'demand'. This pushes the price of a good/service down. An as you know, this lower price mark yields less gross profit to the company. Now, give those people some help in handling life, and they start using the resources within the community. Local communities gain the immediate benefit but soon that expands to other areas within a few months. People will a bit more in resources, will tend to consume more things, thus creating the demand the supply curve needs. Look at the grocery bill for a family of four. The poor economic group will tend to buy nearly the same quantity of food to be consumed as the upper middle or lower upper classes. Most people do not believe in hording food and then using a FIFO (First In, First Out) process of consumption. Some of it will go bad, thus creating the need for new consumption. This process works for non-perishable items as well. When similar processes have been used in the past, it has helped Americans get back onto their feet.
But keep up with the antics, they only make you look like a fool for not understanding history.
Look at you! All "special needs" and shit! What a goddamn family of four spends on groceries has not one fucking thing to do with this.
Pumping large amounts of cash into poor neighborhoods will increase the property values upwards because the neighborhoods will become cleaner and safer. As the property values rise, people who can afford to pay the increasing rent on commercial buildings will open businesses that attract people in ever increasing income brackets to the neighborhood. After the commercially zoned properties start increasing in value, residential properties will increase in value. In just a few years, the poor will no longer be able to afford living there.
When the rent on someones shithole house or apartment is suddenly increased to the point that they can no longer afford to pay rent, they have to move. In this case it means they will have to move out of these so-called "Promise Zones" and into other shithole apartments and houses in another ghetto.
This actually happens all the time. If you knew as much about history as you claim to, you would be aware of how inner city migrations are affected by economic drivers. All these "Promise Zones" will do is force these things to happen artifically at a much faster pace than normal. Instead of it happening over the course of decades, it will be a matter of a couple of years. When the poor are displaced, there is a very real possibility that they will have nowhere to move to when they can no longer afford to live in the "Promise Zone".
