Rent vouchers allow the feds to disperse tenants from failed projects into private residencies. There, poor people would learn good habits from middle-class people.

Smart move, HUD....take the dregs and criminals from the former public housing enclaves where police coverage could be concentrated and spread them wholesale over the outer suburbs. The real joke is that "learning good-habits from middle-class people!"

Section 8 is used to DILUTE the voting strength of key districts, or just plain revenge. They (HUD) massively increased Section 8 housing introduction in East Cobb County Georgia, Newt Gingrich's old district. I suspect if one were to comprehensively investigate the geographical dispersion of these lowlifes and overlay it with Congressional Districts, you'd be surprised and what you see.

Section 8 vouchers do nothing but pollute good neighborhoods, schools and commerce, largely resulting in increased crime, drugs and corruption of the young.

Interest payments on the debt is the ticking time bomb.

For the above board debt of 16 trillion, it is about 250 billion a year. That is with very low interest rates. If interest rates rise, there will be big trouble.

That’s as much as the combined health and human services, vet affairs, HUD, and education budgets combined.

Double the interest rate to normal historic averages, and something has to give. You can’t borrow from sources you will be already unable to pay.

They also completely destroy the value of any property within sight of a Section 8 animal container.
