We get the government the hell out of the housing market. We get the feds, at least out of the business of welfare and reparations totally. The market will take care of the housing and housing will be more affordable to people who go get and hold jobs. The hopeless criminals will not thrive when there is not a welfare population to sustain them. You don’t have to tear down the projects. Just quit building them and financing them. Turn them over to the residents and walk away. Let the residents do what they will with them or leave them. End the incentives to stay in them. Whether people choose to work or to starve is NOT the business of the government in the system instituted in 1787. Put together it is to end the WOP in one action. Cut it off and withdraw the government from all of it.

It depends on whether the low income is due to a low paying job or to welfare payments. The generations who have been on welfare have no clue how to obtain or keep a job. Things such as how to dress for a job or that one needs to arrive at work on time are taking for granted among non-welfare types, but the welfare generations don't have knowledge of these basic aspects of having a job. They also don't have a feeling of responsibility for the property they are living in. That is why, even if they are provided an initially nice place to live, it quickly turns into a dump. Putting Section 8 folk in high-end real estate is a bad idea all around.

I am sure there are a lot of low income earners/workers who would love to live in low crime neighborhoods. Those are the ones we should initially try to help. They are good people in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Dems may have gotten their votes by buying the welfare rolls, but the Dems have not actually helped these people in the long run. We now have the (unintended) consequences of the WOP, and, as usual, the Dems refuse to take responsibility for the mess they have created.

John Cornyn is an embarrassment to Texas

Barky the Dog Eater got this through the Senate as evidenced by the vote on the measure.

Democrats gladly vote on crap like this because their supporters simply don’t give a damn. Republicrats, on the other hand, are assumed by their constituents to be Conservative and not apt to do something as offsetting as this piece of crap.

[HomerBohn]

Nor a Department of Education, Welfare, TSA or CIA, etc.etc.

Put the TSA and the CIA under the FBI and make certain that the head of the FBI is a right wing Conservative.

When was this vote? Why didn’t Ted Cruz vote?

Thank you for posting this!

Rob Portman voted yes, eh? Too bad his primary opponent was not well known.

Pleased to see Capito vote “NO” ... it’s a rare sane vote from her. Scumbag Manchin is up for re-election in 2018.
