now they might mandate we spend $20,000 a year on housing too?
An entity as stone dumb as the federal government is now going to tell us what our houses should be like?
I’m pretty sure the Constitution didn’t give them that power. I didn’t see a mention of Congress (the alleged lawmaking body) being involved, either.
Nanny State PING!
“and opportunities exist for intervention programs that would not only reduce health impacts on
occupants, but the economic burden as well, resulting in a positive return on investment.
“intervention, investment”
Obama has a whole different meaning to those two words...
What’s the R number and the S number for this legislation? I mean, every law that passes, goes thru the house and senate, has an assigned number...
just curious, mind you...
Sounds like a good reason for the govt to condem our homes then force us to live in govt provided housing.
Agenda 21...move everyone into central areas...easier to control.
Stupid voters buy this crap. Obama cares for them. That’s all that counts.
They do such a good job on the public tenements that they run, they want to tell the rest of the landlords how to do theirs.
Looking forward to the fine print.
Examples:
Every home must have a foot bath and prayer rug.
Every home must have a barn/stable for camels.
Translation: hold on to your wallets.
“(homes should be dry, clean, pest-free, safe, contaminant-free, well-ventilated, and well-maintained and thermally controlled);”
Safe?How on earth do you define safe? Many neighborhoods would make a mansion “unsafe”.
Four more years of this?

Another effing redundant government program. How many things must this..ponce..come up with!? We all know that it’s just meant to sap the economy, drain America dry until it collapses from blood loss.
Everything, I mean everything, ties into “health.”
Now that Bambicare is the law of the land it’s too late for Katie to bar the door.
Just get ready....
That religion of yours is unhealthy.
Your family is unhealthy.
Your business is unhealthy.
So... who’s gonna pay for all this silly cr*p...?
Once uppn a time, Americans largely lived in log cabins and didn’t whine to a vast federal machinery for approval of their homes.
This Obama character will do ANYTHING to distract the American people from the fact that the economy is broken and he can’t fix it with all his commie horse sh*t.
What this means, to get fed tax $$ for your house, you will have to allow a federal inspector into your home, who will look for guns first (and ask), and drugs second. Third, they'll certainly have a checklist and put all your information into a database, the better to track you with.
Finally, this should really be unconstitutional as it can not possibly be construed, even remotely, under the commerce clause (inter-state stuff), and would certainly interfere in the 10th Amendment states rights protection (not that there is a federal judge worth his salt that would block the feds from doing this). Of course, the feds just might use this to press the states on the obamacare Exchanges ($$ for this can be used for that kind of thing).
Just another power grab by the power-grabbers (Dems).
Hey, a trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there...pretty soon you’re talking about real money.
What the hell...it’s only money.

It’s “bold” all right, just like the Bolshevik revolution was “bold”

I miss Carter.
Heck even LBJ was a better president.
The problem with President Obama’s ideology is there’s never an end to it. If you’re someone who believes government needs to act wherever there’s a need, then government will never stop expanding. However, government is inherently inefficient, and the larger the government, the more inefficient it becomes. So when the government acts, it creates further distortions which will require even more government to address. It becomes a never ending cycle of expansion until there’s no area left free.
So that’s the issue here. There’s ALWAYS a need somewhere, and there’s ALWAYS some sort of problem that needs to be addressed. No government is ever big enough for the likes of President Obama who probably sees the US Constitution as an annoying, archaic restriction on his ability to help people. He’s not alone. President Bush, for example, had his $30 billion AIDS program for Africa.
We should also be aware that government programs do help some people. There are millions of people right now who are on the upside of wealth redistribution programs. That includes seniors getting expensive medical care far in excess of anything they ever paid into Medicare, poor people on Medicaid, welfare moms, and even crony capitalists with lucrative government contracts. Have no doubt, some people are indeed benefitting from more government.
It’s not that conservatives don’t believe in helping people. We do. It’s how people are helped that matters. If people are better off because they’ve essentially robbed their neighbors, I don’t agree with it. If liberty is sacrificed so some people are protected from their own bad choices, then again, I don’t agree. In the end, the left will have sacrificed prosperity and liberty for nothing.
