No way their voting base is going to allow that.
But I guess they made their point... ?? They're willing to harm Americans to help illegals. I think we knew that already.
Does that mean they will have to get jobs?
Hey, no problem. Just collect it from your tenants.
ROTFLMAO!!!
From last summer...
What Deep State is really freaking out about.
Do Illegals also somehow qualify for this program as well? I admit to not knowing all the ins and outs. I have worked my whole life from age 10. Age 14 legally.
Thune could corner them the same way as it’s been rumored he may corner them on paying the military - introduce a bill that ONLY temporarily funds Section 8 and EBT/SNAP. Force the Dems into voting “No” on that just to sustain their war against Trump...
True story: Years ago one of my relatives owned several Section 8 apartment buildings. The gubmint (taxpayers) were paying him around $800 per month per unit. The tenants, all L’Shaqinya types, were supposed to kick in $50 a month. He had nine units. Not a single tenant paid the $50 per month regularly and most never paid it at all. He didn’t care. The gubmint money was solid, and on time, every month.
I like that approach.
It stands “line item veto” on its head.
The veto says “I reject these particular parts of the budget” and I guess that veto approach doesn’t fly.
Thune could instead piecemeal the budget and offer individual slices — vote for this? vote for that? Let’s see what the priorities really are.
Just 16 for me
"More money for illegals" is the hill they've apparently chosen to die on. I don't think it's resonating quite the way they were hoping.
What do the dems care about Sec 8 payments? It’s the evil landlords that joined the program that are going to get screwed. As if the Sec 8 welfare recipients are going to be kicked out of their houses because the gov’t didn’t pay the rent? Right. The dems problem will be if their slaves’ food cards are empty or their free cell phones stop working.
Good. Next?
They’ll just blame it on Republicans.
I think you misread it.
That will be spun as the GOP’s fault, and nation wide riots.
Democrats don’t care who suffers, so R’s need to be firm.
Yay!
I voted for this!
In the contract that landlords sign for Section 8 residents the landlord is forbidden to evict the resident if the government doesn’t pay! That won’t bother the Dims.
Cool, dems finance protests and riots and blame everyone else. Same play book, different century
JOBS?! No! Not that!
