Over the weekend, eight Democrat mayors, some cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,

and Kentucky, wrote a joint op-ed that appeared in a Washington Post. These gang of eight mayors claim

we need a Marshall Plan for Middle America. For those of you who went to public school,

let me explain. After World War II, American tax payers spent $13 billion to rebuild Europe

under the direction of General George Marshall who got all kinds of accolades for being able to

figure out how to spend $13 billion dollars as well as some sort of unique achievement.

So today, we get eight Democrat mayors wanting a Marshall Plan for their cities. It boils down to

what it always boils down to, money. Your money bailing them out. They want 60 billion a year.

For the next 10 years to spend on their wish list, some of the money would go toward their

environmentalist Waco agenda, some of it would seed regional investment, which means that

cronies of these mayors would get very rich. Forget this. We've seen what works,

millions of new jobs and opportunities that resulted from lower taxes and fewer regulations

on businesses and individuals. That produced record unemployment across the board with jobs returning

to our shores. Last thing we need, yet, are a big government welfare plan for Democrats cities.

That scheme fails every time it's tried. I'm tired of paying for it. You should be too.
