Cruel Obama to ban smoking in welfare housing
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/30/16 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 11/30/2016 6:18:03 PM PST by Sean_Anthony

The policy will be viewed as punitive and cruel and noncompliance will be widespread. It is incredibly foolish and unkind.

The U.S. Department of Homewrecking and Utopian Development (HUD) said it plans to forbid smoking in public housing units to protect millions of low-income tenants from the ridiculously over-hyped effects of secondhand tobacco smoke.

The ban will affect more than 940,000 units of housing subsidized by federal taxpayers.

“Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, healthy home free from harmful second-hand cigarette smoke,” head HUD honcho Julián Castro said in a statement.

Hmm maybe if they didn’t waste all that money on cigs, they wouldn’t need so much welfare from taxpayers. Get your own house and smoke as much as you want...

I disagree with a ban on owning a pet. That teaches responsibility.

I'd be willing to bet 90% and upward of folks in public housing aren't even "responsible" towards their own children. As for the pets... lots are just abused, starved dogs used for BS macho intimidation and fighting.

He is doing that so President Trump will have to deal with the aftermath of this.

On January 19'th the Feds will "discover" that the money for Food stamps is all used up.

LOL!

Seriously, Obama is doing this on the way out the door because it wont go into effect until Trump takes office, that way the brothers will think Trump did it.

Obama has been enabling bad behavior from this crowd since he has taken office.

This went in effect in San Antonio TX in January 2012. Julian was mayor there. I think that most public housing in TX went smoke free by 2015.

Military families get a housing allowance that keeps rents higher than they would be if the full amount was paid by the renter. I am not calling this a good thing or a bad thing, but does this mean these military subsidized housing must be smoke free also?
