Programs like Joseph Project, the Miss Mary Project create real sustainable success that can blossom into prosperity and change lives. If HUD will use their vast communications network to support those community efforts, we will shrink poverty
Since the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed, The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has expanded its mandate to enforce these laws by labeling everything that is not equal, from the educational experience and housing, to the relative wealth of your residential zip code, as discriminatory.
The feds have no constitutional right or authority to meddle in or interfere with housing and urban development issues. Those issues legally belong to the states.
Ditto that!
Not really.
The post was about what HUD needs to defeat poverty.
My post says poverty is defeated when unconstitutional government like HUD is dismantled.
The problem with mingling State with Church is that usually State is the dominant partner and Church ends up being told what to do. Maybe not so much right now but should the Democrats retake the Presidency we might not like the results. Best to keep them separate.
Exactly. “Faith Initiatives” reminds me way too much of Bush’s “Compassionate Conservationism.” It may start out as faith-based, but it will be perverted into simply more government spending on something that the government shouldn’t be doing.
That’s right. And when government goes where it is constitutionally forbidden, government just makes matter worse, as it has here. As Reagan said, “Government isn’t the solution, government is the problem.”
Not until those in poverty decide to cooperate.....which HUD and others have discouraged in order to “justify” their existence.
