It is very easy to segue from discussing MILITARY JUNTA public policy ---expansion of SCHOOL OF AMERICA to global franchise being made US city corporate charter schools as well as controlling public school ROTC-----to identifying all this as the reason for US CITIES as FAILED STATES-----and be assured all this was deliberate political strategy by global banking 1% since we have watched these same structures unfold all last century in overseas FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.
We often discuss how the designation of FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE has been since Clinton era a reason to allow all US RULE OF LAW not be enforced------this opened the door for these few decades of massive and systemic frauds and corruption against our US government. Although US cities like CHICAGO and BALTIMORE did not educate in fact they LIED AND HID just what that designation meant-----below we see the beginning of these policies directed at US cities ----during REAGAN ERA by what was the beginning of expansion of global banking 5% freemason/Greek players across both US Democratic and Republican Parties.
Here we see CHICAGO MAYOR WASHINGTON pretending the goal was equal opportunity and access----pretending to stand up for new immigrants when we see just a few decades later---after CHICAGO as BALTIMORE was sacked and looted by global 1%-----the city devolved into a third world FAILED STATE taking those 99% NEW IMMIGRANTS and our US 99% of citizens with that FAILURE of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA public policy.

'Mayor encourages 'equal access by all persons' to city services, licenses
Mayor Harold Washington signs an executive order ending the city's practice of asking job and license applicants about their U.S. citizenship and halting cooperation by city agencies with federal immigration authorities'.
We are sure there were a 5% global banking freemason/Greek new immigrant player allowed to have a patronage business for a decade or two-----just as here in Baltimore. We would not go to BUSINESSINSIDER to find what went wrong in Chicago---we simply understand that Mayor Washington doing whatever global banking 1% told him during Reagan era stripped all US Rule of Law from Chicago to allow sacking and looting.
How Chicago Became The Deadliest City In America

Things are pretty grim in Chicago following its deadliest summer in recent memory.
By Oct. 21, Chicago had recorded 435 murders, ahead of 339 in New York and 241 in Los Angeles. The Windy City has the highest murder rate of all Alpha world cities , according to NBC Chicago.
And while things are finally starting to slow down, the mood in the city definitely isn't great.
As an Illinois ex-pat living in New York and looking on at one of my favorite cities from afar, I have to wonder, how did we get here?
In the Hyde Park-South Kenwood community for instance, crime dropped 39 percent from 2002 to 2011, according to the University of Chicago.
BALTIMORE PUBLISHED THESE SAME FALLING CRIME STATS THESE SAME FEW DECADES AND WATCHDOG GROUPS IDENTIFIED FAKE POLICE DATA.
And in 2002, the total number of homicides in Chicago dropped below the total in LA with 20 fewer murders that year than in 2001.
As of 2010, Chicago had more cops per 100,000 residents than any other big city, according to the Chicago Justice Project.
The Chicago Justice Project
So how did things get so bad? It started with massive cuts to the Chicago Police Department.
A CHICAGO JUSTICE PROJECT IDENTIFIES POLICE CUTS AS THE PROBLEM--NOT COMPLETE IGNORING OF US RULE OF LAW BY CORPORATIONS AND BANKS.
Courtesy of CBS Mayor Rahm Emanuel drew the ire of Chicago's police union last year when he proposed slashing the police department's budget by $190 million, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
There was also speculation that Emanuel would cut about 1,400 police vacancies, which would save the city $93 million.
"How does 'eliminating vacancies' save $93 million when zero dollars were being spent on the vacant spots in the first place?" Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields told the Sun-Times. "That's some real Enron-style accounting."
Emanuel's office cited the city's $635 million budget gap as the reason for the cuts.
Meanwhile gang activity was on the rise.
Cabrini Green was one of the worst housing projects in Chicago until it was torn down in March 2011.
Wikipedia Chicago has 59 gangs divided into 625 factions , boasting up to 125,000 members, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The rise of gangs can be attributed to Chicago's public housing policies , according to a January article in Chicago Magazine:
NOT US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES DESIGNATION ELIMINATING ALL US RULE OF LAW, JUSTICE STRUCTURES, UNLEASHING MASSIVE FRAUD AND CORRUPTION AND FAILED CITIES---THAT WASN'T IT.
"New York's most successful public housing developments are economically integrated. Chicago's, in contrast, only house poor and nonworking families. While Chicago's public housing tenants have extraordinarily high rates of welfare recipiency (92 percent in Robert Taylor receive either public assistance or a benefit such as disability or Social Security), few of New York's tenants are on welfare."
Chicago has demolished many of its public housing projects in the face of criticism. But a recent study suggested their removal helped make crime even worse in neighborhoods where public-housing residents relocated.
WELL, BECAUSE PUBLIC HOUSING WAS NEVER THE PROBLEM.
Things really started getting bad on Memorial Day weekend, when 43 were shot and 11 killed.
http://globalgrind.com/news/40-shot-10-dead-injured-over-memorial-day-weekend-chicago-2012-details The Memorial Day weekend bloodbath that left a 7-year-old girl shot and a 33-year-old man shot in the South Shore neighborhood was a terrifying wake-up call for the city.
The weekend forced Emanuel and the police department to confront the city's escalating gang problem.
"We are going to get the job done by intercepting the firearms , intervening in the gangs and taking down the narcotics markets and holding onto them," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said at the time, according to ABC News.
Another bloody weekend left 8 dead and more than 40 wounded.
Joseph Briggs, 16, was the youngest to die during the weekend of June 11, 2012.
In what police believe was a gang-related incident, Briggs was shot on his front porch in Marquette Park, an area that saw an influx of shootings this summer, according to NBC News.
But in a reversal from their stance Memorial Day weekend, city officials took a more passive approach to the weekend crime spree, saying there weren't any immediate fixes and crime reduction would have to happen "over the long-term," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy told reporters.
Another bloody weekend left 7 dead and 35 wounded.
Violence continued on the following weekend in June.
Shakaki Asphy, 16, was just sitting on the porch of a vacant home when a shooter in a grey hoodie opened fire, according to ABC Chicago .
Following the latest bloody weekend, Chicago Fraternal Order of Police president Michael Shields called on the city to hire more police: "Chicago police officers can't be everywhere. Because they're racing from one 911 call to the next, and with manpower as it is right now, it's very difficult to deter crime."
Another bloody weekend left 9 dead and 28 injured.
AP Things became so dire by the weekend of Aug. 24, the often tough-spoken Emanuel was begging city residents for help.
"I'd like to remind everybody that it also requires a community to step up," Emanuel said according to NBC News. "You're not a snitch, you have a role in community policing."
By Aug. 27, police had arrested at least 300 people , most of whom were gang members, CBS Chicago reported at the time.
One gang is responsible for most of the violence.
A group calling itself the Gangster Disciples was responsible for more than a quarter of the 400 murders that were reported in the city through Sept. 25, according to The Chicago Tribune.
"Police records, using preliminary assessments from investigators, show 100 of the 392 homicide victims through late September were connected to the Gangster Disciples.
No other gang was close, with the next highest being the 22 victims linked to the Black P Stones, the police statistics show. Even given the Gangster Disciples' greater size, the disparity is notable," the Tribune reported in October.
The violence got worse this summer as the gangs split up into rival factions and began fighting each other.
The Gangster Disciples have long controlled the South Side but this summer the gang splintered into smaller factions such as the Killa Ward and The Hit Squad, with both groups fighting to retain the Disciples' territory, The Chicago Tribune reported in October.
"They're splintering off into smaller gang factions, and that's getting more difficult for us to track and predict what's going to happen next," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said.
As the gangs grow, the warring factions are spreading across the entire city, including wealthier neighborhoods.
"Wilding," when teenagers from Chicago's tougher neighborhoods invade the wealthier ones and do everything from rob convenience stores to assault passersby, gave way to bloodier crimes as Chicago's gang culture splintered in on itself, The Daily Beast reported in August.
Just take a look at some of the people killed on the streets of Chicago:
When all is said and done we get this: the city has essentially become a mass of gang territory. This map from WBEZ 91.5 shows how much territory they're gaining and where the various gangs sit across the Windy City.
The mayor was so concerned about gang violence in the city that he had certain liquor stores and gang-heavy communities closed, he told CBS News in July.
Emanuel also had abandoned buildings boarded up or torn down in areas "where gang bangers have taken them over," he told the TV station.
Illinois designates 6 sites as statewide enterprise zones
Associated Press
State officials have designated six sites around Illinois as enterprise zones to encourage business development.
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity announced the sites Wednesday.
Officials said the Enterprise Zone Board evaluated applications and awarded designations to sites in Chicago; Douglas County; Effingham and Effingham County; an intermodal operation shared by Jersey and Greene counties; Massac County; and Whiteside County.
Enterprise zones are meant to encourage investment in depressed areas. Companies and other organizations in a zone might qualify for tax incentives. They include sales tax exemptions on qualifying building materials, investment tax credits, utility tax exemptions and possible local enticements.
Applications for becoming one of three enterprise zones scheduled to be designated in 2018 are available.

In Deeply Divided Chicago, Most Agree: City Is Off Course
By Monica Davey and Giovanni Russonello
CHICAGO — The people of Chicago are deeply riven by race, class and neighborhood, distrustful of the police, fearful of the growing rate of violent crime and united chiefly in their disapproval of the mayor’s performance and their conviction that the city is headed down the wrong track.
These are among findings of a new survey by The New York Times and the Kaiser Family Foundation, which polled residents of a city that has been upended in recent months by revelations of questionable actions by the police, threats of a teachers’ strike, a school funding crisis and an uptick in violence.
The poll finds broad discontent with the police and those charged with overseeing them, particularly among African-Americans. Residents expressed concerns about racial bias in shootings by officers and many show ambivalence about whether calling the police will ease situations or not make a difference.
Residents of Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city, appear to have lost faith in many of its essential institutions, including the police, courts and the public schools.
The sharpest levels of discontent appear among black residents on the South and West Sides. When it comes to hopes for young people, satisfaction with city services and — especially — expectations about interactions with the police, the divide between black and white Chicago is striking.
“It seems like the police can do anything and get away with it,” Enix Daniels, who is 50 and black and lives on the West Side, said in a follow-up interview. “There are no repercussions. If we do something, we have to pay a bond before we get out. If they do something, they get to sit at their desk.”
The survey was conducted as Chicago confronts a daunting array of problems. Six months ago, protesters took to the streets after the release of video showing a white Chicago police officer shooting a black teenager named Laquan McDonald 16 times. The Justice Department began an investigation into the Police Department, the police superintendent was fired and a task force last month issued a scathing report denouncing systemic racism at the department.
These problems and divides are not unique to Chicago. Cleveland, Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., have all been convulsed after black people died in encounters with police officers, and neighborhood segregation and budget and school problems are common in the nation’s major cities. Here, though, the challenges reached a fever pitch all at once. And the survey shows how difficult it will be to win the trust of a divided city as it confronts some of the most fraught issues facing urban America today.
In the survey, 62 percent of residents said they disapproved of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s job performance, and only a quarter approved. Among blacks, his disapproval rating is 70 percent.
Most Chicagoans say they doubt that the mayor cares much about the needs of people like themselves. Among black residents, the feelings are stronger: Only 8 percent believe that Mr. Emanuel cares a lot about people like them, and nearly two-thirds think he cares not much or not at all.
Responding to the survey’s findings, a spokesman for the mayor spoke of work already underway.
“The mayor’s focus is on building on the progress we have made with generations-old issues in Chicago, from jobs to education to public safety,” Adam Collins, the spokesman, said in an emailed statement. “We are striving to grow our already record high school graduation rate, to build out our first-in-the-nation free community college program, and extend our record performance of adding 41 corporate headquarters and nearly 100,000 jobs here over the past five years. And we will continue to invest in everything from technology to training as we work to reduce crime and build trust in the Police Department.”
The telephone poll was conducted April 21 to May 3 using landlines and cellphones with 1,123 adults throughout the City of Chicago. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points for all adults.
Nearly equal numbers of blacks, whites and Hispanics live in Chicago, a city of about 2.7 million, but they often live on separate sides of town, and, the survey shows, find themselves leading vastly different lives.
By consistent double-digit margins, African Americans and Latinos on the South and West Sides are more likely than North Side whites to be dissatisfied with aspects of their neighborhoods, like the condition of public recreation facilities, services like trash removal, and the availability of public transportation.
“I’ve been living in this neighborhood about 30 years and I really like it — it’s gotten nicer over the years,” said Tammy Snider, 60, who is white and lives on the North Side. “I sometimes take the bus to an aerobics class in an area that’s not that safe, but it’s during the day.”
The split between neighborhoods can feel like a gulf. Only on the North Side do a majority of residents say it is very likely for a typical young person to graduate from high school. On the West Side, just three in 10 think so.
“In the North and Northwest Side it’s clean, you can walk up and down the street without getting stuck up,” said Carl Hill, 62, who is black and lives on the South Side. “Our area is neglected.”
Latinos in Chicago attest to experiencing slightly less discrimination and generally live in less segregated neighborhoods. But they share some of the frustrations felt by African-Americans citywide. Fewer than 20 percent feel very safe in the area where they live.
Few issues define Chicago’s divide more than schools. Most Chicagoans say their neighborhood lacks quality public schools, but the misery is lopsided: On the South Side, 71 percent of African-Americans say so. In 2013, Mr. Emanuel’s administration oversaw the closing of nearly 50 schools, many in black and Latino communities, a move that contributed to a tense re-election fight for the mayor last year.
The blowback has invigorated public support for the Chicago Teachers Union, which says it may strike if a contract deal cannot be reached. Fifty-nine percent of residents citywide support the decision to strike, and that soars to almost three-quarters among African-American parents living with children.

None of this was our 99% new immigrant citizens' fault----they were simply drawn under a FALSE FLAG of propaganda to US cities under the guise of freedom walking into what was a complete DISINTEGRATION of developed nation governing structures and deliberate stagnation of US city economies with the sending of US corporations overseas to be enfolded into the hands of GLOBAL 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS.
SANCTUARY CITY/STATE uses a 'religious' connotation for what is LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, NO MORALS AND ETHICS, NO RULE OF LAW, NO GOD'S NATURAL LAWS-----1000BC laissez faire economics. My global banking 5% WHITE citizens were at the higher levels forcing these policies down from Congressional political machines to our local machines. It is our US 5% freemason/Greek WHITE players who are the worst of LIVING FOR TODAY DOING ANYTHING THEY ARE TOLD. White people are going to be winners they think-----OH, REALLY??????
The same national news media back during REAGAN era CHICAGO/BALTIMORE becoming SANCTUARY CITIES FAKE NEWS is now exploding on mainstream US FAKE media because now MOVING FORWARD expands these FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE policies from US cities to include entire STATES. Same bad policies for US 99% WE THE PEOPLE---same bad policies for 99% NEW IMMIGRANT CITIZENS.
The difference today is the faces of new SOCIOPATHS------CHICAGO EMANUEL MEETS BALTIMORE O'MALLEY--killing now the 99% of white city citizens. These ONE WORLD FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE policies are indeed EQUAL OPPORTUNITY in killing each population group.
WE HAVE TO WATCH THE MORALLY BANKRUPT AND CRIMINALLY INCLINED CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA POINTING TO A TRUMP AS THE MADMAN DOING ALL THAT IS BAD.
EMANUEL working for global banking 1% says WE simply sacked and looted-----and installed all the SCHOOL OF AMERICA civil unrest structures ------any bad stuff in future is TRUMP'S fault.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel: 'Chicago Always Will Be A Sanctuary City'
November 14, 20167:57 PM ET
Richard Gonzales
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel added his voice to the chorus of big-city mayors who say theirs will remain "sanctuary cities" in response to President-elect Donald Trump's hard-line positions on illegal immigration.
Surrounded by immigration activists, business leaders and state and federal lawmakers, Emanuel sought to reduce the fear of immigrants living in this country without authorization.
"To all those who are, after Tuesday's election, very nervous and filled with anxiety ... you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago," said Emanuel at a news conference called to publicize the expansion of mental health services for people anxious over the election results.
"Chicago has in the past been a sanctuary city. ... It always will be a sanctuary city," the mayor said.
His comments come on the heels of Trump's appearance Sunday on CBS's 60 Minutes, in which the president-elect promised to deport all immigrants with criminal records.
"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," said Trump.
Trump did not mention sanctuary cities — jurisdictions that have policies of not cooperating with federal immigration authorities. But his "First 100 Days" plan includes cutting off all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
Emanuel joins the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia and others who all have said their sanctuary city policies will remain in place despite the threat of losing federal assistance. About 300 cities and counties across the country have such a policy. The loss of federal funding could be staggering. In the case of San Francisco, for example, city officials say they receive about $1 billion from Washington.
City leaders and local police in many jurisdictions say that immigrants are more likely to cooperate with police when they don't feel the threat of deportation if they report a crime.
_______________________________________
At the same time global banking 1% sent their ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT 5% freemason/Greek players pretending to be civil rights groups out to protest for SANCTUARY CITIES pretending it was about helping new immigrants whether Muslim or not------CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA was expanding that designation of FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE or SANCTUARY CITY across each state. This means there is now no STATE CONSTITUTION----no STATE ASSEMBLY laws ---no STATE court or legal bodies having any power. What happens to our 99% of new immigrants in regions not having a functioning sovereign government system as in Chicago and Baltimore? They have all their wages stolen----they have no worker protections in workplace----they keep being shifted around every few years to new locations. Who created these conditions? Clinton/Bush/Obama because they are FAR-RIGHT WING GLOBAL BANKING 1% ----not helping any 99% no matter the population group.
Now, for these few decades our RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS have pretended the ignoring of all Federal governing structures was strengthening STATE RIGHTS. Keep in mind, the MASTER PLAN during REAGAN era was exactly what is MOVING FORWARD today. There never was any intention of making STATE'S RIGHTS dominant as MOVING FORWARD today expanding designation of FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE kills STATE RIGHTS/STATE CONTROL.
Instead of a global banking 5% freemason/Greek player being made the PAY-TO-PLAY winner these few decades of ROBBER BARON frauds and corruption----now global 1% are MOVING IN the global 1% and their 2% to be the GANGSTERS in 1000BC sacking and looting and making US a permanent GLOBAL MILITARY JUNTA. 5% global banking players under the bus in only a few decades killing the future for their families.
DESIGNATING STATE ENTERPRISE ZONES WHETHER CALLING THEM SANCTUARY STATES OR NOT-----IS ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, IGNORES 300 YEARS OF US, STATE, AND LOCAL COURT PRECEDENCE AND CAN BE SIMPLY VOIDED.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS tells us nothing about broad public policy ---it simply repeats whatever TALKING POINT global banking 1% send down as too all US mainstream media.

To lure Amazon and more, California needs a statewide enterprise zone
In this Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017, photo, large spheres take shape in front of an existing Amazon building and in view of the Space Needle in Seattle.

Everyone wants a piece of Amazon. A city in Georgia has even offered to rename itself “Amazon” if only the web sales giant would locate its second headquarters there. Jerry Brown is making a pitch, too. The governor, according to the Mercury News, “is offering tax breaks and other incentives worth hundreds of millions of dollars should Amazon choose the Golden State as the site of its second home.”
We welcome our Democratic governor’s effort. But he’s only part of the way there. Tax cuts and regulatory relief should not be limited to only Amazon.
Governments have been using targeted tax breaks and other financial favors to attract businesses for decades. That’s how South Carolina landed a sprawling BMW factory, and Alabama snagged a Mercedes-Benz plant — which the state owns and leases to the automaker for $100. The German car companies were given hundreds of millions in tax incentives to open the facilities.
Targeting Amazon or any other company for special treatment is tempting. But policymakers should not be choosing winners and losers in a competitive economy. All businesses in this state, as well as those that might want to expand or relocate here, should get the same treatment Brown is offering. The entire state should be an enterprise zone.
Enterprise zones, introduced to California in the 1980s, dangle favorable tax policy, and sometimes regulatory relief, in front of businesses to draw them into areas that are suffering economically. The goal is to boost employment and stimulate local economic development. At one time, California had 42 enterprise zones.
But forget zones. Go statewide. Become “The Enterprise State” before another state grabs the name.
Companies naturally want to locate, relocate and expand their businesses here. Under the right conditions, there is no better place. But those conditions don’t exist at the moment.
For those conditions to exist, the business tax burden has to be eased, and any effort to do so should be a part of an entire state tax overhaul. As it is now, this state’s tax regime is an anchor holding back what could be a booming expansion.
The state’s regulatory web must be cut, as well.
A 2015 study from the Pacific Research Institute’s Wayne Winegarden found that California has the highest regulation burden in the country. According to the 50-State Small Business Regulation Index, California businesses are handicapped with workers’ compensation rules, family-leave regulations, land-use regulations, payrolls needlessly swelled by forced union membership, energy regulations, start-up and filing costs, high minimum-wage requirements and the steep expenses of a civil legal system in need of reform.
A few months after that PRI report was released, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council published a study with similar findings. It confirmed that California has the “least-friendly policy environment for small business and entrepreneurship.” It’s the cumulative effect of the “ever-mounting burdens placed on entrepreneurs and small businesses by government” that negatively impact economic opportunity.
About a week after Brown made his pitch to Amazon, the Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its 2018 State Business Climate Index. And not for the first time is the state ranked so low. It’s been 48th on that list since 2014, and has become a regular at the bottom of other business climate rankings.
The Democratic majority that runs this state says it believes in equality. Brown himself has called inequality one of California’s biggest challenges. If that’s truly an article of their faith, then the governor and his party have an obligation. They have to treat every business in the state with the same arrangement being offered to Amazon.

Roseda Farm is breeding a 'supercow' in a quest to become the Berger Cookies of the beef industry

The Baltimore Sun
Dean Bryant gazes out at a hulking black bull alone in a hilltop paddock at Roseda Farm. The 4-year-old Angus known as “B010” ranks among the top four of 200,000 bulls in his breed for weaned calf value, a measure of the quality of his offspring.
It’s the type of “supercow” Roseda is seeking to breed.
“We’re pretty proud of him,” Bryant, manager of the Monkton farm, said. “We’ve been doing this for 20, 21 years now, and that’s one of the highlights.”
Nestled in Baltimore County’s rolling hills, Roseda Farm has been slowly perfecting its Black Angus herd to create beef prime for plating. Through genetic testing, dry-aging and a closed system that allows the ranch to see its cattle from conception to butchering, Roseda has built one of the largest beef operations in the Mid-Atlantic, according to the Maryland Cattlemen's Association. The brand has become ubiquitous on Baltimore-area restaurant menus, most recently at Gordon Ramsay Steak, and the farm wants to become synonymous with Baltimore — the Berger Cookies of the beef industry.
Owner Ed Burchell Sr. didn’t know one end of a cow from the other when he bought the 350-acre farm in Monkton in 1986, he said. It wasn’t long before he took an interest in cattle breeding and recruited Bryant, who was then at the University of Maryland’s Wye Institute on the Eastern Shore researching one of the oldest Angus herds in the region.
“What he was trying to demonstrate was if you consistently breed cattle for beef quality, not size, you can dramatically change the quality of beef,” Burchell Sr. said.
The industry has historically been rewarded for producing heavier-muscled cattle — the faster cows can put on weight, the more revenue farmers can procure. Roseda takes the opposite approach, breeding cattle for traits that improve the texture of their meat and make for better steak. Black Angus cattle are known for their marbling (fat within muscle that adds to the meat’s juiciness).
For every animal killed, Roseda tracks about 50 data points, including information on its weight, the size of its rib-eye and back fat. That data is sent to the American Angus Association, the group that ranked B010 among the best bulls for weaned calf value, and used in breeding decisions.
“We’re not interested in the highest-muscling bull in the breed,” Burchell Sr. said. “We’re looking for somebody that’s got a certain amount of back fat, very high in marbling, and also we test for a tenderness gene.”
Bryant handles all of the breeding and genetic testing at the farm, which is done by artificial insemination. The pure-bred herd at Roseda Farm — the genetic base of the entire operation — is about 130 cows. At age 1, the farm takes an ultrasound between each animal’s 11th and 12th ribs to get a sense of the quality of the rib-eye.
”That’s when you get your first inkling of how promising that particular animal is,” Burchell Sr. said. “Most of our cows are really good cows, but we’re looking for that supercow, which just doesn’t come along all that often.”
The animals are naturally raised, meaning they are not treated with antibiotics or hormones.
GMO ANIMALS HAVE HISTORICALLY CAUSED AS MANY HUMAN HEALTH ISSUES AS ANTIBIOTICS AND HORMONES.
“I’ve never seen cattle that are so consistent, and that gets down to genetics,” said Bill Ruppersberger, president of Old Line Custom Meat Co., which processes the beef.
Old Line was formed in 2011, when Roseda merged with George G. Ruppersberger & Sons, a Baltimore butchery established in 1866. The meat company has a slaughterhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue— which made the news in recent years when a steer escaped into the city — and a processing plant on South Monroe Street that also processes lamb from the Shenandoah Valley and commodity beef. Inside the South Baltimore plant, beef quarters and whole lambs glide on hooks from a storage refrigerator to a line of meat cutters, who work to break them down into smaller cuts.
Old Line specializes in kosher beef, and 50 to 55 percent of the animals that pass through its slaughterhouse are deemed kosher, about twice the proportion at most slaughterhouses.
Whole beef carcasses are dry-aged for at least two weeks before they are separated into cuts sold in grocery stores, at restaurants, online and at the Monkton farm. As the meat dry-ages, enzymes in the muscle break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the tissue, and evaporation shrinks the meat, concentrating its flavor.
“It’s one of our biggest competitive advantages, if not the biggest,” said Eddie Burchell Jr., Ed’s son and a partner in the business, noting that’s especially true for Roseda’s ground beef, a type of meat that is not typically dry-aged. “We’re a steak burger.”
The 17,000-square-foot plant in South Baltimore processes about 120 cattle and 200 lambs per week, Ruppersberger said. Smaller beef packing plants on the East Coast have all but disappeared due to the financial burdens of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations, and large meat packers make it tough to compete, Ruppersberger said.
“That’s why we had to find the niche that we’re in,” Ruppersberger said.
Dry-aging is expensive for beef producers because it ties up inventory and requires large refrigerated storage spaces. But it pays dividends. Roseda was too small to be profitable without selling its dry-aged ground beef at a premium.
“If we couldn’t sell that at a huge premium, we were too small to be able to make the economics work,” Burchell Sr. said. “Our program probably wouldn’t work [in the West and Midwest] because people wouldn’t go to the grocery store and pay $5.99 for a burger; they’d think you lost your mind.”
The challenge locally has been convincing buyers to spend more and chefs to raise menu prices to support buying a premium product. Roseda’s ground beef, for instance, is about 50 to 60 cents more per pound than standard ground beef.
“The East Coast has been both a torment to us because we’re not in the middle of cattle country, but … because you’ve got a third of the population of the country living on the East Coast, it has really served our meat business well,” Burchell Sr. said.
Wayne Gioioso Jr., a Ruxton resident and real estate executive, said the price difference is negligible.
“I’m willing to pay a premium because if you’re going to eat, you might as well eat well,” Gioioso said. “I‘d much rather support a local business and eat well than buy the whatever run-of-the-mill beef, and who knows who’s making the profit.”
He didn’t eat beef often before Burchell Jr. suggested trying Roseda’s, so he bought some New York strip steaks from Graul’s, threw them onto the grill and never looked back. Now, Roseda beef is a staple for his family, and he said he won’t eat beef at restaurants unless it’s from Roseda.
“I was hooked,” he said. “We eat it all the time. We have it in our freezer.”
Brigitte Bledsoe, corporate executive chef for Miss Shirley’s Cafe, has been sourcing beef from Roseda since the restaurant group added burgers to their menus eight or nine years ago. She also incorporates Roseda’s ground beef in dishes like the Mainland Loco Moco Skillet, an 8-ounce burger and grits with diced bacon, sauteed mushrooms, brown gravy and green onion, topped with an egg.
“The quality of beef supply is the best around, it’s always consistently good, so it’s no-brainer for me,” Bledsoe said.
She said dry-aging makes a big difference in the meat’s taste and texture. “It‘s like apples and oranges,” she said.
Miss Shirley’s lists Roseda Farm in menu descriptions because the restaurant group likes to show guests it supports local farms, and customers are increasingly interested in where ingredients are sourced, according to a spokeswoman for Miss Shirley’s. Roseda also asks restaurants (and distributors who sell its beef to restaurants) to list the farm’s name on menus, Burchell Jr. said.
Building brand recognition begins with restaurants. The farm recently partnered with Flying Dog Tap House at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, and its beef also appears on menus at such restaurants as Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore and Ocean City.
Getting as many customers as possible to taste Roseda’s beef is the crux of the company’s growth strategy, Burchell Jr. said. “The best way that we can get people to understand our product is to taste our product.”
The leadership team is also working to drive more online sales by improving its website for online ordering and boosting its social media presence. Though Roseda’s beef is primarily sold in the Mid-Atlantic region, it has garnered interest from buyers as far away as China, Burchell Jr. said.
As Roseda grows, the owners hope their beef becomes one of the top food brands Baltimoreans associate with their hometown.
“When I ask people if they’ve heard of Roseda, maybe one in four, one in five will say yes,” Ruppersberger said. He wants to see that number grow. “We want to be like Berger Cookies.”

Leading to our sitting in front of US national news telling us global corporations are not paying any taxes----AND IT IS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT.
So, while OBAMA was simply far-right wing global banking as REAGAN/BUSH with what was the biggest tax break for rich in US history-----these policies of STATE SANCTUARY or STATE ENTERPRISE ZONE is what makes paying corporate taxes disappear. Trump does not have to do anything---all these STATEWIDE sanctuary laws were installed during OBAMA era.
TRUMP does not have to do anything to raise the national debt to $21 trillion from OBAMA era $20 trillion---it is all interest rate and global banking bond servicing charges. TRUMP simply needs to sit and act like a MADMAN----pretending collusions with RUSSIA while all policies installed during OBAMA are installed.
Are 80% of Americans really getting a TAX CUT when global corporate campuses are paying NO TAXES? OF COURSE NOT. It simply becomes to expensive to live inside US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.
By Sam Petulla and Tal Yellin, CNN
Updated 10:32 AM PHT Wed, January 31, 2018
(CNN) — President Donald Trump has bragged -- and did so again during his State of the Union address Tuesday -- that the tax cuts Congress passed would be the biggest in history.
There's no doubt the tax legislation slashed corporate tax rates and will give 80% of individual filers a tax cut, according to some estimates.
But arguably, President Barack Obama passed a larger tax cut by making most of President George W. Bush's cuts permanent. President Ronald Reagan definitely did. And Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson probably did, too.
"It will be the biggest tax decrease, or tax cut, in the history of our country," Trump said at the White House last month.
Tax analysts have been unequivocal that Trump's claim is not true.
"While it is not the largest tax cut ever, it is the most poorly timed giant tax cut in history," said Leonard Burman, institute fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. "The economy is near full employment and the national debt is at a postwar record and rising fast."
An analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that Trump's cut is the eighth largest since 1918.
Even the Treasury Department has weighed in on the debate. Though that would be Bush's and Obama's Treasury departments, not Trump's. The Treasury Department released several iterations of a paper between 2006 and 2013 that measured the size of past tax cuts.
The Treasury reports found that, since 1968, three other tax cut bills have been bigger: Reagan's 1981 cuts, and two bills passed by Obama to extend the Bush tax cuts. Between 1940 and 1967, when the data is less reliable, three tax cuts were larger, two of them after the war, when rates were lowered again.
The Treasury measured the sizes of tax cuts by looking at the revenue effects of the bills as a percentage of gross domestic product -- in other words, how much federal revenue the bill cuts away as a portion of the economy. Reagan's 1981 cut was 2.9% of GDP. Obama's tax cut extensions in 2010 and 2012 were 1.3% and 1.8%, respectively.
Trump's tax cut, by contrast, is estimated to be about 1.1% of GDP per year. Even excluding Obama's cuts -- which were really extensions of previous cuts first enacted by Bush -- Trump's tax reform bill will have nowhere near the effect on revenue that Reagan's did. Trump's cuts for individuals are temporary. So, like Bush, he's potentially setting himself up for another president to get to take credit for his tax legislation in 2025.
When multiple tax cuts and increases by the same President are grouped, Trump's cut shrinks further. Bush's cuts come in at 1.4% of GDP. Even accounting for Reagan's rollbacks after 1981, his first-term cuts exceed Trump's bill.
The calculation for Trump's tax bill's revenue effect is made by taking the Joint Committee on Taxation's estimated budgetary effects for the tax bill from 2019 through 2022 and dividing by the Congressional Budget Office's cumulative GDP projections through the same period, while factoring in the joint committee's estimated growth effects. A four-year window average is used because it is the same baseline the Treasury report uses, and it is also the period where the bill costs the most.
All calculations, including those in the Treasury report, start with the static estimates of the bills.
Part of the reason the current proposals have less of a cut than previous bills is because of how the legislation was passed. Republicans used "budget reconciliation" to get it passed without Democratic votes. That allowed the GOP to bypass a filibuster, but it also reduced how deep any cuts can be. "Particularly for a bill like this, large timing gimmicks, like the sunset, become really important," said Greg Leiserson, a former senior Treasury tax economist who's the director of tax policy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
Reagan, the saint of "trickle-down economics," cut rates to corporations and to individuals across the board in 1981, giving the largest cuts to high earners. Reagan's 1986 tax reform made substantial changes to the tax code's structure to try to simplify it. Whether Reagan's cuts helped or hurt the rich and whether they are the reason for the growth the economy experienced during the 1980s is still a matter of debate.
Regardless, the Bush tax reductions borrowed heavily from the supply-side ideology that underpinned Reagan's cuts. Bush cut taxes across the board, lowered rates on dividends and capital gains, and changed the estate tax to benefit high earners. His cuts are generally credited with helping middle-class families and, even more, the wealthy. Bush is faulted, however, for driving increased inequality between low and high earners. When Obama extended most of the Bush cuts, several provisions that benefited high earners were allowed to expire.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin defended Trump's claim to CNN's Jake Tapper in November and made specific arguments about the sizes of specific elements of the plan, but did not have a compelling argument backing up the President's more general claim.
An open question, not answered by the Treasury report, is whether this is the largest tax cut in history for corporations. Tax experts say it could be. The bill rolls back cuts on the individual side at the end of 2025 but keeps the corporate cuts in place.

China's New Special Economic Zone Evokes Memories Of Shenzhen
Frank Holmes Contributor Great Speculations i
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
Apr 21, 2017, 02:52pm 6,283 views #Economy
Forty years ago, Shenzhen, China, was a sleepy fishing village of 30,000. But in 1980, then-Communist Party leader Deng Xiaoping designated the southern town as one of four special economic zones (SEZs), thereby giving it special tax benefits and preferential treatment to foreign investment. In the years that followed, Shenzhen expanded at an alarming pace. Its GDP per capita grew a jaw-dropping 24,569 percent between 1978 and 2014, and by 2016 its population stood at nearly 12 million.
Today Shenzhen is universally held up as one of capitalism’s great success stories. Because of Deng’s willingness to liberate its economy and open Shenzhen up to foreign investment, the once-poor, now-thriving megacity is known as a world-class tech hub, home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and one of the busiest financial centers in the world.
Now it looks as if China aims to catch lightning in a bottle once again by designating a brand new region as a SEZ. On April 1, President Xi Jinping announced plans to transform a little-known farmland called Xiongan into a glittering technology and innovation hub, complete with new businesses, universities and state-of-the-art transportation.
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SMART CITY---YOU WOULD BE CORRECT-----
The Xiongan New Area, which will eventually cover 2,000 square kilometers—more than twice the size of New York City—is intended to relieve congestion in the capital of Beijing and nearby Tianjin. Among other potential consequences include spreading the country’s economy northwest, away from the bustling coastal cities, and boosting gross domestic product (GDP) growth, which has been trending down for the past several quarters. In the first quarter of 2017, China beat market expectations by expanding 6.9 percent year-over-year—a far cry from the double digit growth in years past, but impressive nonetheless.
Potential Investment Opportunities Expected
Like Shenzhen before it, Xiongan is expected to offer phenomenal investment opportunities. Remember, we’re talking about a brand new megacity literally built from the ground up. According to UBS estimates, the project will require as much as $580 billion over the next 20 years. As you might imagine, massive amounts of raw materials and resources will be needed, including steel, glass, cement and more. Steel demand alone should increase imports of the metal between 12 and 14 million metric tons per year if mass construction begins in the next 10 years, according to Citi Research analysts.
YET GLOBAL BANKING 1% UNITED NATIONS CALLS THIS 'CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY' LABELING IT 'GREEN'.
Shares of several Chinese construction, infrastructure, utilities and transportation companies immediately spiked following the announcement. China Railway Group has gained close to 5 percent since the announcement. China Shipbuilding Industry Corp., which recently said it will move its headquarters to Xiongan, has risen nearly 3.5 percent. Huge moves have also been made by Tianjin Port Development Holdings and China National Building Material Co. Perhaps the biggest gainer was building materials supplier BBMG, which soared more than 34 percent April 3, then an additional 10.5 percent the following day.
Cement prices in China are already having one of their best starts in years and are positioned to exceed 2013 levels, which would benefit materials companies such as China National Building Material Co. and BBMG.
Chinese Real Estate on Fire
Even before the Xiongan announcement, Chinese real estate and home valuations were soaring, with home prices in 70 major cities rising 11.3 percent year-over-year in March. Nine out of the 10 best performers this year in the Bloomberg World Real Estate Index are Chinese firms. Since the start of the month, land developer China Resources Land is up 3.6 percent. Developers Evergrande, Sunac and Country Garden—all of which have exposure to Xiongan New Area and the surrounding regions—are up close to 80 percent so far this year.
Real estate speculators have reportedly descended on the new economic zone, gobbling up property at such a dizzying rate that the local government has had to step in and temporarily restrict transactions. It’s possible a real estate bubble could be forming, but with memories of Shenzhen’s grandeur swimming in investors’ minds, expectations are understandably sky high.

How Chicago Became The Deadliest City In America
Abby Rogers
Nov. 23, 2012, 11:00 AM

Things are pretty grim in Chicago following its deadliest summer in recent memory.
By Oct. 21, Chicago had recorded 435 murders, ahead of 339 in New York and 241 in Los Angeles. The Windy City has the highest murder rate of all Alpha world cities , according to NBC Chicago.
And while things are finally starting to slow down, the mood in the city definitely isn't great.
As an Illinois ex-pat living in New York and looking on at one of my favorite cities from afar, I have to wonder, how did we get here?
In the Hyde Park-South Kenwood community for instance, crime dropped 39 percent from 2002 to 2011, according to the University of Chicago.
BALTIMORE PUBLISHED THESE SAME FALLING CRIME STATS THESE SAME FEW DECADES AND WATCHDOG GROUPS IDENTIFIED FAKE POLICE DATA.
And in 2002, the total number of homicides in Chicago dropped below the total in LA with 20 fewer murders that year than in 2001.
As of 2010, Chicago had more cops per 100,000 residents than any other big city, according to the Chicago Justice Project.
The Chicago Justice Project
So how did things get so bad? It started with massive cuts to the Chicago Police Department.
A CHICAGO JUSTICE PROJECT IDENTIFIES POLICE CUTS AS THE PROBLEM--NOT COMPLETE IGNORING OF US RULE OF LAW BY CORPORATIONS AND BANKS.
Courtesy of CBS Mayor Rahm Emanuel drew the ire of Chicago's police union last year when he proposed slashing the police department's budget by $190 million, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
There was also speculation that Emanuel would cut about 1,400 police vacancies, which would save the city $93 million.
"How does 'eliminating vacancies' save $93 million when zero dollars were being spent on the vacant spots in the first place?" Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields told the Sun-Times. "That's some real Enron-style accounting."
Emanuel's office cited the city's $635 million budget gap as the reason for the cuts.
Meanwhile gang activity was on the rise.
Cabrini Green was one of the worst housing projects in Chicago until it was torn down in March 2011.
Wikipedia Chicago has 59 gangs divided into 625 factions , boasting up to 125,000 members, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The rise of gangs can be attributed to Chicago's public housing policies , according to a January article in Chicago Magazine:
NOT US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES DESIGNATION ELIMINATING ALL US RULE OF LAW, JUSTICE STRUCTURES, UNLEASHING MASSIVE FRAUD AND CORRUPTION AND FAILED CITIES---THAT WASN'T IT.
"New York's most successful public housing developments are economically integrated. Chicago's, in contrast, only house poor and nonworking families. While Chicago's public housing tenants have extraordinarily high rates of welfare recipiency (92 percent in Robert Taylor receive either public assistance or a benefit such as disability or Social Security), few of New York's tenants are on welfare."
Chicago has demolished many of its public housing projects in the face of criticism. But a recent study suggested their removal helped make crime even worse in neighborhoods where public-housing residents relocated.
WELL, BECAUSE PUBLIC HOUSING WAS NEVER THE PROBLEM.
Things really started getting bad on Memorial Day weekend, when 43 were shot and 11 killed.
http://globalgrind.com/news/40-shot-10-dead-injured-over-memorial-day-weekend-chicago-2012-details The Memorial Day weekend bloodbath that left a 7-year-old girl shot and a 33-year-old man shot in the South Shore neighborhood was a terrifying wake-up call for the city.
The weekend forced Emanuel and the police department to confront the city's escalating gang problem.
"We are going to get the job done by intercepting the firearms , intervening in the gangs and taking down the narcotics markets and holding onto them," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said at the time, according to ABC News.
Another bloody weekend left 8 dead and more than 40 wounded.
Joseph Briggs, 16, was the youngest to die during the weekend of June 11, 2012.
In what police believe was a gang-related incident, Briggs was shot on his front porch in Marquette Park, an area that saw an influx of shootings this summer, according to NBC News.
But in a reversal from their stance Memorial Day weekend, city officials took a more passive approach to the weekend crime spree, saying there weren't any immediate fixes and crime reduction would have to happen "over the long-term," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy told reporters.
Another bloody weekend left 7 dead and 35 wounded.
Violence continued on the following weekend in June.
Shakaki Asphy, 16, was just sitting on the porch of a vacant home when a shooter in a grey hoodie opened fire, according to ABC Chicago .
Following the latest bloody weekend, Chicago Fraternal Order of Police president Michael Shields called on the city to hire more police: "Chicago police officers can't be everywhere. Because they're racing from one 911 call to the next, and with manpower as it is right now, it's very difficult to deter crime."
Another bloody weekend left 9 dead and 28 injured.
AP Things became so dire by the weekend of Aug. 24, the often tough-spoken Emanuel was begging city residents for help.
"I'd like to remind everybody that it also requires a community to step up," Emanuel said according to NBC News. "You're not a snitch, you have a role in community policing."
By Aug. 27, police had arrested at least 300 people , most of whom were gang members, CBS Chicago reported at the time.
One gang is responsible for most of the violence.
A group calling itself the Gangster Disciples was responsible for more than a quarter of the 400 murders that were reported in the city through Sept. 25, according to The Chicago Tribune.
"Police records, using preliminary assessments from investigators, show 100 of the 392 homicide victims through late September were connected to the Gangster Disciples.
No other gang was close, with the next highest being the 22 victims linked to the Black P Stones, the police statistics show. Even given the Gangster Disciples' greater size, the disparity is notable," the Tribune reported in October.
The violence got worse this summer as the gangs split up into rival factions and began fighting each other.
The Gangster Disciples have long controlled the South Side but this summer the gang splintered into smaller factions such as the Killa Ward and The Hit Squad, with both groups fighting to retain the Disciples' territory, The Chicago Tribune reported in October.
"They're splintering off into smaller gang factions, and that's getting more difficult for us to track and predict what's going to happen next," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said.
As the gangs grow, the warring factions are spreading across the entire city, including wealthier neighborhoods.
"Wilding," when teenagers from Chicago's tougher neighborhoods invade the wealthier ones and do everything from rob convenience stores to assault passersby, gave way to bloodier crimes as Chicago's gang culture splintered in on itself, The Daily Beast reported in August.
Just take a look at some of the people killed on the streets of Chicago:
- 7-year-old Heaven Sutton was selling candy in her front yard in June when she got caught in the crossfire between rival gang members, according to The Daily Beast.
- A 20-year-old man was shot to death on the street on the West Side on Aug. 6, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
- An unidentified man was killed on S. Michigan Ave in September.
When all is said and done we get this: the city has essentially become a mass of gang territory. This map from WBEZ 91.5 shows how much territory they're gaining and where the various gangs sit across the Windy City.
The mayor was so concerned about gang violence in the city that he had certain liquor stores and gang-heavy communities closed, he told CBS News in July.
Emanuel also had abandoned buildings boarded up or torn down in areas "where gang bangers have taken them over," he told the TV station.
Illinois designates 6 sites as statewide enterprise zones
Associated Press
State officials have designated six sites around Illinois as enterprise zones to encourage business development.
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity announced the sites Wednesday.
Officials said the Enterprise Zone Board evaluated applications and awarded designations to sites in Chicago; Douglas County; Effingham and Effingham County; an intermodal operation shared by Jersey and Greene counties; Massac County; and Whiteside County.
Enterprise zones are meant to encourage investment in depressed areas. Companies and other organizations in a zone might qualify for tax incentives. They include sales tax exemptions on qualifying building materials, investment tax credits, utility tax exemptions and possible local enticements.
Applications for becoming one of three enterprise zones scheduled to be designated in 2018 are available.

Never any intention at SANCTUARY----as all those ALT RIGHT 5% FAKE labor and justice leaders KNEW.
Rather than keep installing global banking 1% economic policy designed to FAIL-----and wait for a few decades for ever-increasing impoverishment, brutality, and violence across all 99% population groups just so those same global banking 5% players can come out AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE to be really mad---------our US 99% of WE THE PEOPLE and our 99% new immigrant citizens MUST STOP MOVING FORWARD-----so, we do NOT EXPAND FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES-----no matter what rebranding name global banking 1% place on that policy.
SANCTUARY CITY/STATE as SPECIAL ENTERPRISE ZONE as FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE all have goals of eliminating all sovereign Rule of Law ---all sovereign CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ---all sovereign courts and legal structures having 300 years of US court precedence and several centuries of COMMON LAW. THAT IS THE ONLY GOAL MOVING FORWARD SANCTUARY CITY HAS----AND IT KILLS OUR GLOBAL LABOR POOL 99% AS MUCH AS OUR US CITIZENS BLACK, WHITE, AND BROWN CITIZENS.
As Chicago's MAYOR WASHINGTON installed SANCTUARY CITY policies just so NO CIVIL RIGHTS laws in US were to be enforced-----he and other CLINTON/OBAMA far-right wing neo-liberals decry all this RED-LINING. If you are not enforcing US Federal civil rights and maintaining CITY SOVEREIGNTY----you DON'T CARE about common good or 99% civil rights.

CHICAGO — The people of Chicago are deeply riven by race, class and neighborhood, distrustful of the police, fearful of the growing rate of violent crime and united chiefly in their disapproval of the mayor’s performance and their conviction that the city is headed down the wrong track.
These are among findings of a new survey by The New York Times and the Kaiser Family Foundation, which polled residents of a city that has been upended in recent months by revelations of questionable actions by the police, threats of a teachers’ strike, a school funding crisis and an uptick in violence.
The poll finds broad discontent with the police and those charged with overseeing them, particularly among African-Americans. Residents expressed concerns about racial bias in shootings by officers and many show ambivalence about whether calling the police will ease situations or not make a difference.
Residents of Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city, appear to have lost faith in many of its essential institutions, including the police, courts and the public schools.
The sharpest levels of discontent appear among black residents on the South and West Sides. When it comes to hopes for young people, satisfaction with city services and — especially — expectations about interactions with the police, the divide between black and white Chicago is striking.
“It seems like the police can do anything and get away with it,” Enix Daniels, who is 50 and black and lives on the West Side, said in a follow-up interview. “There are no repercussions. If we do something, we have to pay a bond before we get out. If they do something, they get to sit at their desk.”
The survey was conducted as Chicago confronts a daunting array of problems. Six months ago, protesters took to the streets after the release of video showing a white Chicago police officer shooting a black teenager named Laquan McDonald 16 times. The Justice Department began an investigation into the Police Department, the police superintendent was fired and a task force last month issued a scathing report denouncing systemic racism at the department.
These problems and divides are not unique to Chicago. Cleveland, Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., have all been convulsed after black people died in encounters with police officers, and neighborhood segregation and budget and school problems are common in the nation’s major cities. Here, though, the challenges reached a fever pitch all at once. And the survey shows how difficult it will be to win the trust of a divided city as it confronts some of the most fraught issues facing urban America today.
In the survey, 62 percent of residents said they disapproved of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s job performance, and only a quarter approved. Among blacks, his disapproval rating is 70 percent.
Most Chicagoans say they doubt that the mayor cares much about the needs of people like themselves. Among black residents, the feelings are stronger: Only 8 percent believe that Mr. Emanuel cares a lot about people like them, and nearly two-thirds think he cares not much or not at all.
Responding to the survey’s findings, a spokesman for the mayor spoke of work already underway.
“The mayor’s focus is on building on the progress we have made with generations-old issues in Chicago, from jobs to education to public safety,” Adam Collins, the spokesman, said in an emailed statement. “We are striving to grow our already record high school graduation rate, to build out our first-in-the-nation free community college program, and extend our record performance of adding 41 corporate headquarters and nearly 100,000 jobs here over the past five years. And we will continue to invest in everything from technology to training as we work to reduce crime and build trust in the Police Department.”
The telephone poll was conducted April 21 to May 3 using landlines and cellphones with 1,123 adults throughout the City of Chicago. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points for all adults.
Nearly equal numbers of blacks, whites and Hispanics live in Chicago, a city of about 2.7 million, but they often live on separate sides of town, and, the survey shows, find themselves leading vastly different lives.
By consistent double-digit margins, African Americans and Latinos on the South and West Sides are more likely than North Side whites to be dissatisfied with aspects of their neighborhoods, like the condition of public recreation facilities, services like trash removal, and the availability of public transportation.
“I’ve been living in this neighborhood about 30 years and I really like it — it’s gotten nicer over the years,” said Tammy Snider, 60, who is white and lives on the North Side. “I sometimes take the bus to an aerobics class in an area that’s not that safe, but it’s during the day.”
The split between neighborhoods can feel like a gulf. Only on the North Side do a majority of residents say it is very likely for a typical young person to graduate from high school. On the West Side, just three in 10 think so.
“In the North and Northwest Side it’s clean, you can walk up and down the street without getting stuck up,” said Carl Hill, 62, who is black and lives on the South Side. “Our area is neglected.”
Latinos in Chicago attest to experiencing slightly less discrimination and generally live in less segregated neighborhoods. But they share some of the frustrations felt by African-Americans citywide. Fewer than 20 percent feel very safe in the area where they live.
Few issues define Chicago’s divide more than schools. Most Chicagoans say their neighborhood lacks quality public schools, but the misery is lopsided: On the South Side, 71 percent of African-Americans say so. In 2013, Mr. Emanuel’s administration oversaw the closing of nearly 50 schools, many in black and Latino communities, a move that contributed to a tense re-election fight for the mayor last year.
The blowback has invigorated public support for the Chicago Teachers Union, which says it may strike if a contract deal cannot be reached. Fifty-nine percent of residents citywide support the decision to strike, and that soars to almost three-quarters among African-American parents living with children.

None of this was our 99% new immigrant citizens' fault----they were simply drawn under a FALSE FLAG of propaganda to US cities under the guise of freedom walking into what was a complete DISINTEGRATION of developed nation governing structures and deliberate stagnation of US city economies with the sending of US corporations overseas to be enfolded into the hands of GLOBAL 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS.
SANCTUARY CITY/STATE uses a 'religious' connotation for what is LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, NO MORALS AND ETHICS, NO RULE OF LAW, NO GOD'S NATURAL LAWS-----1000BC laissez faire economics. My global banking 5% WHITE citizens were at the higher levels forcing these policies down from Congressional political machines to our local machines. It is our US 5% freemason/Greek WHITE players who are the worst of LIVING FOR TODAY DOING ANYTHING THEY ARE TOLD. White people are going to be winners they think-----OH, REALLY??????
The same national news media back during REAGAN era CHICAGO/BALTIMORE becoming SANCTUARY CITIES FAKE NEWS is now exploding on mainstream US FAKE media because now MOVING FORWARD expands these FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE policies from US cities to include entire STATES. Same bad policies for US 99% WE THE PEOPLE---same bad policies for 99% NEW IMMIGRANT CITIZENS.
The difference today is the faces of new SOCIOPATHS------CHICAGO EMANUEL MEETS BALTIMORE O'MALLEY--killing now the 99% of white city citizens. These ONE WORLD FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE policies are indeed EQUAL OPPORTUNITY in killing each population group.
WE HAVE TO WATCH THE MORALLY BANKRUPT AND CRIMINALLY INCLINED CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA POINTING TO A TRUMP AS THE MADMAN DOING ALL THAT IS BAD.
EMANUEL working for global banking 1% says WE simply sacked and looted-----and installed all the SCHOOL OF AMERICA civil unrest structures ------any bad stuff in future is TRUMP'S fault.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel: 'Chicago Always Will Be A Sanctuary City'
November 14, 20167:57 PM ET
Richard Gonzales
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel added his voice to the chorus of big-city mayors who say theirs will remain "sanctuary cities" in response to President-elect Donald Trump's hard-line positions on illegal immigration.
Surrounded by immigration activists, business leaders and state and federal lawmakers, Emanuel sought to reduce the fear of immigrants living in this country without authorization.
"To all those who are, after Tuesday's election, very nervous and filled with anxiety ... you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago," said Emanuel at a news conference called to publicize the expansion of mental health services for people anxious over the election results.
"Chicago has in the past been a sanctuary city. ... It always will be a sanctuary city," the mayor said.
His comments come on the heels of Trump's appearance Sunday on CBS's 60 Minutes, in which the president-elect promised to deport all immigrants with criminal records.
"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," said Trump.
Trump did not mention sanctuary cities — jurisdictions that have policies of not cooperating with federal immigration authorities. But his "First 100 Days" plan includes cutting off all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
Emanuel joins the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia and others who all have said their sanctuary city policies will remain in place despite the threat of losing federal assistance. About 300 cities and counties across the country have such a policy. The loss of federal funding could be staggering. In the case of San Francisco, for example, city officials say they receive about $1 billion from Washington.
City leaders and local police in many jurisdictions say that immigrants are more likely to cooperate with police when they don't feel the threat of deportation if they report a crime.

At the same time global banking 1% sent their ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT 5% freemason/Greek players pretending to be civil rights groups out to protest for SANCTUARY CITIES pretending it was about helping new immigrants whether Muslim or not------CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA was expanding that designation of FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE or SANCTUARY CITY across each state. This means there is now no STATE CONSTITUTION----no STATE ASSEMBLY laws ---no STATE court or legal bodies having any power. What happens to our 99% of new immigrants in regions not having a functioning sovereign government system as in Chicago and Baltimore? They have all their wages stolen----they have no worker protections in workplace----they keep being shifted around every few years to new locations. Who created these conditions? Clinton/Bush/Obama because they are FAR-RIGHT WING GLOBAL BANKING 1% ----not helping any 99% no matter the population group.
Now, for these few decades our RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS have pretended the ignoring of all Federal governing structures was strengthening STATE RIGHTS. Keep in mind, the MASTER PLAN during REAGAN era was exactly what is MOVING FORWARD today. There never was any intention of making STATE'S RIGHTS dominant as MOVING FORWARD today expanding designation of FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE kills STATE RIGHTS/STATE CONTROL.
Instead of a global banking 5% freemason/Greek player being made the PAY-TO-PLAY winner these few decades of ROBBER BARON frauds and corruption----now global 1% are MOVING IN the global 1% and their 2% to be the GANGSTERS in 1000BC sacking and looting and making US a permanent GLOBAL MILITARY JUNTA. 5% global banking players under the bus in only a few decades killing the future for their families.
DESIGNATING STATE ENTERPRISE ZONES WHETHER CALLING THEM SANCTUARY STATES OR NOT-----IS ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, IGNORES 300 YEARS OF US, STATE, AND LOCAL COURT PRECEDENCE AND CAN BE SIMPLY VOIDED.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS tells us nothing about broad public policy ---it simply repeats whatever TALKING POINT global banking 1% send down as too all US mainstream media.
Illinois Designates 6 Sites as Statewide Enterprise Zones

Illinois Designates 6 Sites as Statewide Enterprise Zones
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — State officials have designated six sites around Illinois as enterprise zones to encourage business development.
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity announced the sites Wednesday.
Officials said the Enterprise Zone Board evaluated applications and awarded designations to sites in Chicago; Douglas County; Effingham and Effingham County; an intermodal operation shared by Jersey and Greene counties; Massac County; and Whiteside County.
Enterprise zones are meant to encourage investment in depressed areas. Companies and other organizations in a zone might qualify for tax incentives. They include sales tax exemptions on qualifying building materials, investment tax credits, utility tax exemptions and possible local enticements.
Applications for becoming one of three enterprise zones scheduled to be designated in 2018 are available.

When our global banking 5% freemason/Greek pols and players pass laws at city and state level declaring a STATEWIDE SANCTUARY STATE------STATEWIDE ENTERPRISE ZONE----they are telling the 99% of sovereign citizens in that state----ILLINOIS, CALIFORNIA, MARYLAND ---that they no longer have a state Constitution----a state assembly able to pass laws which will be enforced-----in addition to not having any US FEDERAL enforcement of all that makes our 99% WE THE PEOPLE-----CITIZENS WITH A BILL OF RIGHTS black, white, or brown US or MD/CA, IL citizens.

Opinion
To lure Amazon and more, California needs a statewide enterprise zone
In this Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017, photo, large spheres take shape in front of an existing Amazon building and in view of the Space Needle in Seattle.

Everyone wants a piece of Amazon. A city in Georgia has even offered to rename itself “Amazon” if only the web sales giant would locate its second headquarters there. Jerry Brown is making a pitch, too. The governor, according to the Mercury News, “is offering tax breaks and other incentives worth hundreds of millions of dollars should Amazon choose the Golden State as the site of its second home.”
We welcome our Democratic governor’s effort. But he’s only part of the way there. Tax cuts and regulatory relief should not be limited to only Amazon.
Governments have been using targeted tax breaks and other financial favors to attract businesses for decades. That’s how South Carolina landed a sprawling BMW factory, and Alabama snagged a Mercedes-Benz plant — which the state owns and leases to the automaker for $100. The German car companies were given hundreds of millions in tax incentives to open the facilities.
Targeting Amazon or any other company for special treatment is tempting. But policymakers should not be choosing winners and losers in a competitive economy. All businesses in this state, as well as those that might want to expand or relocate here, should get the same treatment Brown is offering. The entire state should be an enterprise zone.
Enterprise zones, introduced to California in the 1980s, dangle favorable tax policy, and sometimes regulatory relief, in front of businesses to draw them into areas that are suffering economically. The goal is to boost employment and stimulate local economic development. At one time, California had 42 enterprise zones.
But forget zones. Go statewide. Become “The Enterprise State” before another state grabs the name.
Companies naturally want to locate, relocate and expand their businesses here. Under the right conditions, there is no better place. But those conditions don’t exist at the moment.
For those conditions to exist, the business tax burden has to be eased, and any effort to do so should be a part of an entire state tax overhaul. As it is now, this state’s tax regime is an anchor holding back what could be a booming expansion.
The state’s regulatory web must be cut, as well.
A 2015 study from the Pacific Research Institute’s Wayne Winegarden found that California has the highest regulation burden in the country. According to the 50-State Small Business Regulation Index, California businesses are handicapped with workers’ compensation rules, family-leave regulations, land-use regulations, payrolls needlessly swelled by forced union membership, energy regulations, start-up and filing costs, high minimum-wage requirements and the steep expenses of a civil legal system in need of reform.
A few months after that PRI report was released, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council published a study with similar findings. It confirmed that California has the “least-friendly policy environment for small business and entrepreneurship.” It’s the cumulative effect of the “ever-mounting burdens placed on entrepreneurs and small businesses by government” that negatively impact economic opportunity.
About a week after Brown made his pitch to Amazon, the Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its 2018 State Business Climate Index. And not for the first time is the state ranked so low. It’s been 48th on that list since 2014, and has become a regular at the bottom of other business climate rankings.
The Democratic majority that runs this state says it believes in equality. Brown himself has called inequality one of California’s biggest challenges. If that’s truly an article of their faith, then the governor and his party have an obligation. They have to treat every business in the state with the same arrangement being offered to Amazon.

Roseda Farm is breeding a 'supercow' in a quest to become the Berger Cookies of the beef industry

The Baltimore Sun
Dean Bryant gazes out at a hulking black bull alone in a hilltop paddock at Roseda Farm. The 4-year-old Angus known as “B010” ranks among the top four of 200,000 bulls in his breed for weaned calf value, a measure of the quality of his offspring.
It’s the type of “supercow” Roseda is seeking to breed.
“We’re pretty proud of him,” Bryant, manager of the Monkton farm, said. “We’ve been doing this for 20, 21 years now, and that’s one of the highlights.”
Nestled in Baltimore County’s rolling hills, Roseda Farm has been slowly perfecting its Black Angus herd to create beef prime for plating. Through genetic testing, dry-aging and a closed system that allows the ranch to see its cattle from conception to butchering, Roseda has built one of the largest beef operations in the Mid-Atlantic, according to the Maryland Cattlemen's Association. The brand has become ubiquitous on Baltimore-area restaurant menus, most recently at Gordon Ramsay Steak, and the farm wants to become synonymous with Baltimore — the Berger Cookies of the beef industry.
Owner Ed Burchell Sr. didn’t know one end of a cow from the other when he bought the 350-acre farm in Monkton in 1986, he said. It wasn’t long before he took an interest in cattle breeding and recruited Bryant, who was then at the University of Maryland’s Wye Institute on the Eastern Shore researching one of the oldest Angus herds in the region.
“What he was trying to demonstrate was if you consistently breed cattle for beef quality, not size, you can dramatically change the quality of beef,” Burchell Sr. said.
The industry has historically been rewarded for producing heavier-muscled cattle — the faster cows can put on weight, the more revenue farmers can procure. Roseda takes the opposite approach, breeding cattle for traits that improve the texture of their meat and make for better steak. Black Angus cattle are known for their marbling (fat within muscle that adds to the meat’s juiciness).
For every animal killed, Roseda tracks about 50 data points, including information on its weight, the size of its rib-eye and back fat. That data is sent to the American Angus Association, the group that ranked B010 among the best bulls for weaned calf value, and used in breeding decisions.
“We’re not interested in the highest-muscling bull in the breed,” Burchell Sr. said. “We’re looking for somebody that’s got a certain amount of back fat, very high in marbling, and also we test for a tenderness gene.”
Bryant handles all of the breeding and genetic testing at the farm, which is done by artificial insemination. The pure-bred herd at Roseda Farm — the genetic base of the entire operation — is about 130 cows. At age 1, the farm takes an ultrasound between each animal’s 11th and 12th ribs to get a sense of the quality of the rib-eye.
”That’s when you get your first inkling of how promising that particular animal is,” Burchell Sr. said. “Most of our cows are really good cows, but we’re looking for that supercow, which just doesn’t come along all that often.”
The animals are naturally raised, meaning they are not treated with antibiotics or hormones.
GMO ANIMALS HAVE HISTORICALLY CAUSED AS MANY HUMAN HEALTH ISSUES AS ANTIBIOTICS AND HORMONES.
“I’ve never seen cattle that are so consistent, and that gets down to genetics,” said Bill Ruppersberger, president of Old Line Custom Meat Co., which processes the beef.
Old Line was formed in 2011, when Roseda merged with George G. Ruppersberger & Sons, a Baltimore butchery established in 1866. The meat company has a slaughterhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue— which made the news in recent years when a steer escaped into the city — and a processing plant on South Monroe Street that also processes lamb from the Shenandoah Valley and commodity beef. Inside the South Baltimore plant, beef quarters and whole lambs glide on hooks from a storage refrigerator to a line of meat cutters, who work to break them down into smaller cuts.
Old Line specializes in kosher beef, and 50 to 55 percent of the animals that pass through its slaughterhouse are deemed kosher, about twice the proportion at most slaughterhouses.
Whole beef carcasses are dry-aged for at least two weeks before they are separated into cuts sold in grocery stores, at restaurants, online and at the Monkton farm. As the meat dry-ages, enzymes in the muscle break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the tissue, and evaporation shrinks the meat, concentrating its flavor.
“It’s one of our biggest competitive advantages, if not the biggest,” said Eddie Burchell Jr., Ed’s son and a partner in the business, noting that’s especially true for Roseda’s ground beef, a type of meat that is not typically dry-aged. “We’re a steak burger.”
The 17,000-square-foot plant in South Baltimore processes about 120 cattle and 200 lambs per week, Ruppersberger said. Smaller beef packing plants on the East Coast have all but disappeared due to the financial burdens of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations, and large meat packers make it tough to compete, Ruppersberger said.
“That’s why we had to find the niche that we’re in,” Ruppersberger said.
Dry-aging is expensive for beef producers because it ties up inventory and requires large refrigerated storage spaces. But it pays dividends. Roseda was too small to be profitable without selling its dry-aged ground beef at a premium.
“If we couldn’t sell that at a huge premium, we were too small to be able to make the economics work,” Burchell Sr. said. “Our program probably wouldn’t work [in the West and Midwest] because people wouldn’t go to the grocery store and pay $5.99 for a burger; they’d think you lost your mind.”
The challenge locally has been convincing buyers to spend more and chefs to raise menu prices to support buying a premium product. Roseda’s ground beef, for instance, is about 50 to 60 cents more per pound than standard ground beef.
“The East Coast has been both a torment to us because we’re not in the middle of cattle country, but … because you’ve got a third of the population of the country living on the East Coast, it has really served our meat business well,” Burchell Sr. said.
Wayne Gioioso Jr., a Ruxton resident and real estate executive, said the price difference is negligible.
“I’m willing to pay a premium because if you’re going to eat, you might as well eat well,” Gioioso said. “I‘d much rather support a local business and eat well than buy the whatever run-of-the-mill beef, and who knows who’s making the profit.”
He didn’t eat beef often before Burchell Jr. suggested trying Roseda’s, so he bought some New York strip steaks from Graul’s, threw them onto the grill and never looked back. Now, Roseda beef is a staple for his family, and he said he won’t eat beef at restaurants unless it’s from Roseda.
“I was hooked,” he said. “We eat it all the time. We have it in our freezer.”
Brigitte Bledsoe, corporate executive chef for Miss Shirley’s Cafe, has been sourcing beef from Roseda since the restaurant group added burgers to their menus eight or nine years ago. She also incorporates Roseda’s ground beef in dishes like the Mainland Loco Moco Skillet, an 8-ounce burger and grits with diced bacon, sauteed mushrooms, brown gravy and green onion, topped with an egg.
“The quality of beef supply is the best around, it’s always consistently good, so it’s no-brainer for me,” Bledsoe said.
She said dry-aging makes a big difference in the meat’s taste and texture. “It‘s like apples and oranges,” she said.
Miss Shirley’s lists Roseda Farm in menu descriptions because the restaurant group likes to show guests it supports local farms, and customers are increasingly interested in where ingredients are sourced, according to a spokeswoman for Miss Shirley’s. Roseda also asks restaurants (and distributors who sell its beef to restaurants) to list the farm’s name on menus, Burchell Jr. said.
Building brand recognition begins with restaurants. The farm recently partnered with Flying Dog Tap House at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, and its beef also appears on menus at such restaurants as Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore and Ocean City.
Getting as many customers as possible to taste Roseda’s beef is the crux of the company’s growth strategy, Burchell Jr. said. “The best way that we can get people to understand our product is to taste our product.”
The leadership team is also working to drive more online sales by improving its website for online ordering and boosting its social media presence. Though Roseda’s beef is primarily sold in the Mid-Atlantic region, it has garnered interest from buyers as far away as China, Burchell Jr. said.
As Roseda grows, the owners hope their beef becomes one of the top food brands Baltimoreans associate with their hometown.
“When I ask people if they’ve heard of Roseda, maybe one in four, one in five will say yes,” Ruppersberger said. He wants to see that number grow. “We want to be like Berger Cookies.”

Using the term SANCTUARY CITY in Chicago as Baltimore in REAGAN era is what led to both cities being surrounded by nothing but GHETTOS-----while only a slim city core still had a crony dysfunctional patronage economy.
While we have read these few decades ENTERPRISE ZONE policies have no helped in city development----for obvious reasons like THAT IS THE GOAL-----now they are expanding these structures selling the idea its about BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT to large real estate tracts across each state. What happens when our rural counties are designated FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES and their local county governments are captured to global banking 5% freemason/Greeks making sure that county real estate is set aside waiting for a super-duper global corporate campus to fall on it?
Well, we will first protest the installation of INTERSTATE OFF-RAMPS through our beautiful rural communities. Then we will protest the building of global factory infrastructure like GIANT INCINERATORS in rural communities----then we will protest the eminent domain for gas and oil pipelines running through our rural communities-----then fracking, industrial meat killing our groundwater will need to be protested----
OR, GLOBAL BANKING 5% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA WILL SIMPLY TELL OUR 99% OF MD, CA, IL CITIZENS TO JUST MOVE IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ALL THIS MOVING FORWARD.

Leading to our sitting in front of US national news telling us global corporations are not paying any taxes----AND IT IS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT.
So, while OBAMA was simply far-right wing global banking as REAGAN/BUSH with what was the biggest tax break for rich in US history-----these policies of STATE SANCTUARY or STATE ENTERPRISE ZONE is what makes paying corporate taxes disappear. Trump does not have to do anything---all these STATEWIDE sanctuary laws were installed during OBAMA era.
TRUMP does not have to do anything to raise the national debt to $21 trillion from OBAMA era $20 trillion---it is all interest rate and global banking bond servicing charges. TRUMP simply needs to sit and act like a MADMAN----pretending collusions with RUSSIA while all policies installed during OBAMA are installed.
Are 80% of Americans really getting a TAX CUT when global corporate campuses are paying NO TAXES? OF COURSE NOT. It simply becomes to expensive to live inside US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.

(CNN) — President Donald Trump has bragged -- and did so again during his State of the Union address Tuesday -- that the tax cuts Congress passed would be the biggest in history.
There's no doubt the tax legislation slashed corporate tax rates and will give 80% of individual filers a tax cut, according to some estimates.
But arguably, President Barack Obama passed a larger tax cut by making most of President George W. Bush's cuts permanent. President Ronald Reagan definitely did. And Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson probably did, too.
"It will be the biggest tax decrease, or tax cut, in the history of our country," Trump said at the White House last month.
Tax analysts have been unequivocal that Trump's claim is not true.
"While it is not the largest tax cut ever, it is the most poorly timed giant tax cut in history," said Leonard Burman, institute fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. "The economy is near full employment and the national debt is at a postwar record and rising fast."
An analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that Trump's cut is the eighth largest since 1918.
Even the Treasury Department has weighed in on the debate. Though that would be Bush's and Obama's Treasury departments, not Trump's. The Treasury Department released several iterations of a paper between 2006 and 2013 that measured the size of past tax cuts.
The Treasury reports found that, since 1968, three other tax cut bills have been bigger: Reagan's 1981 cuts, and two bills passed by Obama to extend the Bush tax cuts. Between 1940 and 1967, when the data is less reliable, three tax cuts were larger, two of them after the war, when rates were lowered again.
The Treasury measured the sizes of tax cuts by looking at the revenue effects of the bills as a percentage of gross domestic product -- in other words, how much federal revenue the bill cuts away as a portion of the economy. Reagan's 1981 cut was 2.9% of GDP. Obama's tax cut extensions in 2010 and 2012 were 1.3% and 1.8%, respectively.
Trump's tax cut, by contrast, is estimated to be about 1.1% of GDP per year. Even excluding Obama's cuts -- which were really extensions of previous cuts first enacted by Bush -- Trump's tax reform bill will have nowhere near the effect on revenue that Reagan's did. Trump's cuts for individuals are temporary. So, like Bush, he's potentially setting himself up for another president to get to take credit for his tax legislation in 2025.
When multiple tax cuts and increases by the same President are grouped, Trump's cut shrinks further. Bush's cuts come in at 1.4% of GDP. Even accounting for Reagan's rollbacks after 1981, his first-term cuts exceed Trump's bill.
The calculation for Trump's tax bill's revenue effect is made by taking the Joint Committee on Taxation's estimated budgetary effects for the tax bill from 2019 through 2022 and dividing by the Congressional Budget Office's cumulative GDP projections through the same period, while factoring in the joint committee's estimated growth effects. A four-year window average is used because it is the same baseline the Treasury report uses, and it is also the period where the bill costs the most.
All calculations, including those in the Treasury report, start with the static estimates of the bills.
Part of the reason the current proposals have less of a cut than previous bills is because of how the legislation was passed. Republicans used "budget reconciliation" to get it passed without Democratic votes. That allowed the GOP to bypass a filibuster, but it also reduced how deep any cuts can be. "Particularly for a bill like this, large timing gimmicks, like the sunset, become really important," said Greg Leiserson, a former senior Treasury tax economist who's the director of tax policy at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
Reagan, the saint of "trickle-down economics," cut rates to corporations and to individuals across the board in 1981, giving the largest cuts to high earners. Reagan's 1986 tax reform made substantial changes to the tax code's structure to try to simplify it. Whether Reagan's cuts helped or hurt the rich and whether they are the reason for the growth the economy experienced during the 1980s is still a matter of debate.
Regardless, the Bush tax reductions borrowed heavily from the supply-side ideology that underpinned Reagan's cuts. Bush cut taxes across the board, lowered rates on dividends and capital gains, and changed the estate tax to benefit high earners. His cuts are generally credited with helping middle-class families and, even more, the wealthy. Bush is faulted, however, for driving increased inequality between low and high earners. When Obama extended most of the Bush cuts, several provisions that benefited high earners were allowed to expire.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin defended Trump's claim to CNN's Jake Tapper in November and made specific arguments about the sizes of specific elements of the plan, but did not have a compelling argument backing up the President's more general claim.
An open question, not answered by the Treasury report, is whether this is the largest tax cut in history for corporations. Tax experts say it could be. The bill rolls back cuts on the individual side at the end of 2025 but keeps the corporate cuts in place.

Our US national media is selling FAKE NEWS as hard as they can making it appear CHINA has seen the AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT light and is installing all kinds of FAKE SOCIAL BENEFIT policies just as here in US MOVING FORWARD during Clinton/Bush/Obama.
There is nothing GREEN happening in China----there is nothing HUMAN RIGHTS happening in CHINA ---there is nothing LEFT MARXIST happening in China.

The only thing happening today in US is the collectivization of all US real estate into hands of global 1% needed to build these massive concrete jungles.
Meanwhile, our global banking 5% freemason/Greek players pretending to be populist labor and justice leaders shouting for affordable housing and jobs---say NOTHING about these goals of MOVING FORWARD knowing it will kill affordable housing, jobs, and all quality of life.
China's New Special Economic Zone Evokes Memories Of Shenzhen

Forty years ago, Shenzhen, China, was a sleepy fishing village of 30,000. But in 1980, then-Communist Party leader Deng Xiaoping designated the southern town as one of four special economic zones (SEZs), thereby giving it special tax benefits and preferential treatment to foreign investment. In the years that followed, Shenzhen expanded at an alarming pace. Its GDP per capita grew a jaw-dropping 24,569 percent between 1978 and 2014, and by 2016 its population stood at nearly 12 million.
Today Shenzhen is universally held up as one of capitalism’s great success stories. Because of Deng’s willingness to liberate its economy and open Shenzhen up to foreign investment, the once-poor, now-thriving megacity is known as a world-class tech hub, home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and one of the busiest financial centers in the world.
Now it looks as if China aims to catch lightning in a bottle once again by designating a brand new region as a SEZ. On April 1, President Xi Jinping announced plans to transform a little-known farmland called Xiongan into a glittering technology and innovation hub, complete with new businesses, universities and state-of-the-art transportation.
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SMART CITY---YOU WOULD BE CORRECT-----
The Xiongan New Area, which will eventually cover 2,000 square kilometers—more than twice the size of New York City—is intended to relieve congestion in the capital of Beijing and nearby Tianjin. Among other potential consequences include spreading the country’s economy northwest, away from the bustling coastal cities, and boosting gross domestic product (GDP) growth, which has been trending down for the past several quarters. In the first quarter of 2017, China beat market expectations by expanding 6.9 percent year-over-year—a far cry from the double digit growth in years past, but impressive nonetheless.
Potential Investment Opportunities Expected
Like Shenzhen before it, Xiongan is expected to offer phenomenal investment opportunities. Remember, we’re talking about a brand new megacity literally built from the ground up. According to UBS estimates, the project will require as much as $580 billion over the next 20 years. As you might imagine, massive amounts of raw materials and resources will be needed, including steel, glass, cement and more. Steel demand alone should increase imports of the metal between 12 and 14 million metric tons per year if mass construction begins in the next 10 years, according to Citi Research analysts.
YET GLOBAL BANKING 1% UNITED NATIONS CALLS THIS 'CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY' LABELING IT 'GREEN'.
Shares of several Chinese construction, infrastructure, utilities and transportation companies immediately spiked following the announcement. China Railway Group has gained close to 5 percent since the announcement. China Shipbuilding Industry Corp., which recently said it will move its headquarters to Xiongan, has risen nearly 3.5 percent. Huge moves have also been made by Tianjin Port Development Holdings and China National Building Material Co. Perhaps the biggest gainer was building materials supplier BBMG, which soared more than 34 percent April 3, then an additional 10.5 percent the following day.
Cement prices in China are already having one of their best starts in years and are positioned to exceed 2013 levels, which would benefit materials companies such as China National Building Material Co. and BBMG.
Chinese Real Estate on Fire
Even before the Xiongan announcement, Chinese real estate and home valuations were soaring, with home prices in 70 major cities rising 11.3 percent year-over-year in March. Nine out of the 10 best performers this year in the Bloomberg World Real Estate Index are Chinese firms. Since the start of the month, land developer China Resources Land is up 3.6 percent. Developers Evergrande, Sunac and Country Garden—all of which have exposure to Xiongan New Area and the surrounding regions—are up close to 80 percent so far this year.
Real estate speculators have reportedly descended on the new economic zone, gobbling up property at such a dizzying rate that the local government has had to step in and temporarily restrict transactions. It’s possible a real estate bubble could be forming, but with memories of Shenzhen’s grandeur swimming in investors’ minds, expectations are understandably sky high.

This week we will highlight a raging global banking 1% freemason LITERARY STAR novel-----THE RED AND BLACK. We have tried 3 times over a lifetime to read this absolutely atrocious piece of writing never able to force ourselves to finish it. The pretension and mind-numbing concentration on the etiquette of how a 99% of WE THE PEOPLE wanting to become a 5% player needs to approach this ladder-climbing in what is OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS MEDIEVAL economics-----is complete MYTH-MAKING and a release of a new edition recently addresses the MOVING FORWARD to US being a DARK AGES MEDIEVAL extreme wealth extreme poverty OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS economy.
'He studied at the Ecole Centrale de Grenoble and was extremely proficient in mathematics, drawing and literature. In 1799, he left Grenoble to take a competitive exam in Paris, but failed to give it. He was instead, appointed in the Ministry of War'.
Stendhal is NOT a writer. He creates a story designed simply to INFER societal FADS for people wanting to be a 5% freemason/Greek player. One of the key behaviors for our 99% ladder climbers back in early 1800s while France was still having revolutions-----was not to think or have any independent goals outside of advancing wealth and power of that royal family. The blending of revolutionary fever by the main character being that FRENCH ROYAL DAUGHTER tied to a supposed NAPOLEONIC revolutionary fever by what was called THE HERO----was written to be a blueprint for PLAYERS. If you can get through reading this book you will see what behavior our global banking 5% freemason/Greek players have been trained to adopt at corporate private or freemason schools.
THERE IS NOTHING REVOLUTIONARY OR POPULIST IN WANTING TO BE A LADDER CLIMBER IN MEDIEVAL MEDICI EMPIRE EUROPE.
A handbook for all those global banking 1% OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS 5% players NOT CARING they are killing the strongest democratic republic with governing structures protecting 99% WE THE PEOPLE in world history----they simply want that APPOINTMENT TO MONEY STREAM.
