The mention of "bootstrapping" aid reminded me of what I read in a Johnny Cash biography. When Cash was a young child, his father made the family participants in a big social experiment. They moved to Dyess, Arkansas. Dyess was a planned town. It was part of the New Deal. This is about as socialist as America gets. The initiative probably changed the lives of hundreds of families for the better, but it was not without its critics.
The Intelligent Community Initiative isn't some government project working on a grand scale. It has the simple goal of making everyday life better for people living in small communities of 150,000 or fewer people. The way it plans to do that takes a LOT of explaining.
