Apart from eliminating some burdensome federal regulations previously enacted by these morons (repealing almost anything passed by any Congress ever, for any reason, is a good idea) the main outcome of the law will be to destroy neighborhoods, while unjustly enriching well-heeled landlords of decrepit apartment buildings.

Specifically, the act expands Section 8 housing, a government program to move violent, gun-happy, drug-dealing welfare recipients from inner-city public housing units into previously safe neighborhoods. The theory is that if only criminals lived in nice middle-class areas, they’d get jobs and become productive members of society!

Prevented by their own ideology from criticizing welfare dependency, single motherhood, drug use or criminality, liberals blame dysfunctional behavior on… zip codes. Instead of addressing why people might not want to live in places where they get mugged, Congress decided to move the bad neighborhoods to them. Work ethic, orderliness, respect for the law — irrelevant! It’s location, location, location.

What if House H dropped in price year after year?

$600,000

$540,000

How much of a mortgage should be given on House H? How low can the price of House H go?

Do even I know?

Would the country of Havenland want productive, law-abiding, and healthy Americans?

Maybe!

Would the country of Havenland want unproductive, law-breaking, or unhealthy Americans?

Certainly not!

The much of the productive tax base of the USA might bolt.

The bill had veto-proof super-majorities in both houses of Congress.
