#2 The life chances of a child are determined by her zip code?

Really?

Not having (both)a mom and dad who care? No matter how hard she works? No matter how hard mom and dad work? Being dependent on the government is not a factor?

Really?

The ZIP code?

Who knew, when the postal service instituted the ZIP code so many years ago, that it would turn out to be the basis for discrimination!

[sarc off] A bureaucratic rule, not a law passed by Congress. Social engineering by fiat. Executive fiat. I dont care for it.

#4 Sure - Article 1 of the Consitution of 2009:

Obama is Lord. Obama is King. Everything Obama wants he gets. If you oppose Obama you must be a RACIST!

Oh... you were talking about that old, outdated, 1776 constitution?

#6 Well UP, your remedy won't be found within 25 miles of the southern arc of counties or bedroom communities surrounding Atlanta.

#7 This sounds like a solution that will most heavily affect the elite segregated coastal communities that went heavily for Baraq. I say buy popcorn.

#8 Would that it were Nimble. This involves low income types ... the little people, primarily black and Latino, and leading to those Trayvon/Zimmerman type encounters.

#10 Why waste a chance to turn the whole nation into Detroit.

#11 In addition Fed-Backed mortgages will be funneled to certain areas (according to RACE and not ability to repay).

Later they will require non-fed mortgages to do the same under pain of civil lawsuit (It's the Community Reinvestment Act all over again).

#12 Can't wait to start pushing this in O's own neighborhood and among the caste of people who've financed him.

#13 It seems that only SELECT zip codes are used, not across the USA.

Can't find anything for Alabama.
Only for DC and likewise.
