In his budget plan for fiscal year 2026, President Donald Trump has proposed cutting a total of $32.9 billion in funding to HUD. The plan includes a $26.7 billion cut to federal rental aid — approximately 40% of the total — and would essentially end Section 8 and other housing voucher programs, according to NPR.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
You’d be mad too if you were getting free stuff for life, and then someone pulled the rug out.
No one ever says “Welp! It was good while it lasted”.
Noooo. That’s not human nature.
I have always wanted handouts like food stamps to be called “thank you very much taxpayer” stamps.
Work be racist!
Overweight, Ghettopotamus sows affected, disproportionately.
It was Reparations
Try evicting them if they don’t pay.
The landlords are going to get stuck.
The refuse to work gang know that no rent court will evict them.
Or better yet they can go a 100% mortgage no questions asked and not pay that.
They can milk that for a couple of years
It is my wish these section 8 homes are given to all homeless disabled veterans that need them.
It’s HUD itself that should be cut.
I realize that isn’t going to happen, though.
And many will rip out and sell the plumbing fixtures, appliances.
Good deal neve seen anything on my tax form for deduction for my taxes going for Section 8 slackers.
My sister was a die-hard liberal who loved the Clinton’s. She got a job doing Section 8 with HUD. After a short time with that job, she was converted to a conservative. She loves Trump now...lol
“Black PEOPLE fume”?
Black lazy losers fume. MAGA blacks are fine with this.
Why can’t they get the Slave Master Plantation Bosses in the Demonrat Party to pay their rent and food? Isn’t that why they are Loyal to the Plantation Bosses in the first place?
They get a complete free ride. Affirmative action. Welfare. Free housing. Food paid for. And they want reparations too!
Plus they hate Whitey.
Because of the realities of mandatory vs discretionary spending, slashes to these programs are going to be enormous.
There is a subset of Section 8 that applies to elderly low income. That will get slashed too.
The Dem talking point is . . . 40% cuts to programs for the poor in order to fund tax cuts for the rich.
The reality is 40% cuts to programs for the poor in order to fund tax cuts for everyone — in amounts largely insignificant.
"Black People FUME Over Trump CUTTING Section 8 Housing And Rent Subsidy For People REFUSING TO WORK!"
The writings of Justice Joseph Story and Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, show that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to tax and spend for taking care of the poor, a state power issue.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with [all emphases added] the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The fact that such unconstitutional, vote-buying federal spending exists is a glaring example of corrupt Congress's ongoing abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes). "Federal" taxpayer dollars for the poor should never have left the states in the first place imo.
The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime and desperately needs to be repealed along with the 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators imo.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
If you want help, show that you are WORKING..no more getting freebies for NOTHING..too many people love sucking off the Govt tit that is the problem..and Dems love it since all those people who get freebies vote Democrat
Republican Nixon made the expansion of alphabet agencies possible with “revenue sharing”. Prior to Nixon states could not print money. They had to borrow and raise taxes. The voters would limit that.
So Nixon enabled states (and local government) to use federal printed money/federal borrowed money to expand. Now if a state or local government passes on federal money they ae accused of mismanagement.
Let the churches feed and house the lazy.
