As evacuees leave S.A.shelters, they become hard to track (who's the racist? just asking)

Don't forget the Earned Income Tax Credit. A person can get a lot more back fron IRS than they pay in.

" If one studies hard in school/college applies for and is the best qualified, the high paying non section 8 jobs are abundant."

You sound like a stuck up left winger....
You must have it in for the typical police officer and firefighter....they often have to use section 8 vouchers just to live in the cities where they're serving the public.

Afternoon Beth,
I too, would vote for Zell Miller for he got on the right track, unlike his colleagues.

Your comments concerning Zell are dead on and has much free standing merit.

Always the best for you and family,
NSNR-PTBAA

Evening Katya,
I hate to burst your translucent bubble, but I am a Republican.

I asked for a definition of what a section 8 entails?

Can you not provide the specific details of the delineation of a(Section 8)?

Please be advised I am a retired civilian/military policeman. I also had a very successful career in federal law enforcement(retired) So I do not have it in for professionals who Protect and Serve the public.

I do detest quitters and Peace Officers who, 1. throw their badges down, 2. loot, 3.flee and 4.violate their sworn oath as a police officer to Protect and Serve the citizens of their towns, boroughs, cities or localities.

FYI I grew up poor and a high school dropout. The military turned my life around from zero to a hero. I obtained a M.S. in Admin C.J and B.S. in Psychology. I have retired from two careers in law enforcement why???

Well I applied myself and never thought the world owed me a free ride. Simply put, I woke up! Everyone else who has the fire within can do the same thing in life.(Applying instead of Relying)

In closing Katya, maybe you misunderstood what I posted. I will never be against my bother or sister peace officers, unless they break the law or mistreat/abuse other(s) with the powers they are invested with in the law enforcement profession.

P.S. you are quite welcome to private post me.

Live today what you to want become tomorrow,
Cordially Your's

I know of lots of people that would vote for Zell.. and they are true blue conservatives..I just don't think he would every run for president...Anyway that would be the only democrat around I would vote for..

I am kinda getting tired of these republicans that don't seem to stand up to the bullies..What I wonder is who hild the majarity in the senate and congress not the democrats but the way things are going I couldn't tell that..Makes me wonder what the dems are holding over these mens heads that they seem to get their way..To many RINO for my taste now a days..

Morning Beth,
I have been wondering about that for the last 12 years. The Repubs have the majority, but elitist thugs like kennedy, kerry, pelosi, boxer, heid, leahy, durbin, murray, waters, conyers jackson and waxman run rough shod over them.

It reminds me of people who are scared to discuss racial, unpleasant, touchy, issues and any thing controversal. The truth will stand on it's own merit and educated/civilized people understand this concept.

Possibly there is much more involved in the background. I wonder could it be unreported tax dollars being diverted to house and senate members private bank accounts?

Maybe fear of some of their memeberships in the adult sex club being exposed? Lastly, maybe they are in nominal type positions doing the bidding of the invisible empire who actually runs the government.

I have seen this type fear in many federal employees who would turn their backs on the truth and let other good employees be harrassed, hazed and eventually terminated.

I get sick of hearing those so called Repubs always stating, " We will not stoop to that level of attack."

When the bully knows you are pushover, the badgering will only get worse.

I myself am not a violent person, but when the bully knows he will receive some good licks in a fight, instead of always giving them, he will back off.

I say that is a very rudimentary explanation of how to combat bullying, but it does work.

In reference to Zell, at one time I did not like him on his issue with Confederate Flag. The left and P.C. preaches the flag stands for slavery and hatred. The reality is it is symbolic of Southern History, which blacks, whites and many others races share.THe flag in reality represents one(s) heritage and roots.

"Heritage not Hate," for how could one hate someone if one does not know them. The lefts/communists will spin anything to suit their,(Communist Manifesto Agenda)

If the left, thought they could incite a total black vs white race war in America and win, they would.These are the very same people trying to block and harass John Robert's for the CJOUSSC postion.

It is a shame to see this debacle taking place in America and goes against what our "Founding Fathers" intended.

"When God is forbidden to be said in praying or public schools, when the pledge of alligance is omitted from the start of the school day or patriotic gatherings."

"Then America, will be living by the laws of the jungle and not the laws of the land."

In closing, we should all remember they following quote.

"Evil Only Triumphs When Good Men & Women Do Nothing"

Alright Beth, may fifeen seconds of fame on the Patriot(s) Of America podium has now ended.

Every journey begins with the first step,

Simply stated, section 8 vouchers are paid for by HUD to allow low-income wage people, (which unfortunately includes many civil service people in large expensive urban areas) to lease/rent housing. As some cities also have enacted their own rent control districts, I don't know how this effects HUD funding.

Perhaps we have both misread each others commentary....it's just too simplistic to state that people should have better educated themselves to not have to use certain govt programs. Some cities, like New Orleans actually require their Emergency and Police force to live in the city, which means some personnel will opt out of working for a force if forced to live in dangerous neighborhoods.

Evacuee Debbie J. Madison, 45, is resigned to staying in San Antonio indefinitely with her family — four children and two grandchildren. She qualified for a federally subsidized $1,200-a-month Section 8 housing voucher, but admitted she really doesn't want to leave the shelter. She has no income.

GET A JOB!!!!!!!

Evening Katya,
Thank you for the information on the Section 8 vouchers.

I actually view it as a cola benefit to allow a working person to have a place to live. Like the the military has a cola allowance, for service members living in high cost areas.

Well I learned something new today, Katya.
In reality it is nice to see some money (section 8)vouchers going to help our working Americans instead of the third world foreign aid/give-away programs.

I graciously comend you for enlightening me on the (section 8) vouchers.

I remember many years ago in the military, the acronym or term meant, a (nut case)

In closing, Katya your are cool with me, and I wish your family/you the best always.
Sincerely,
NSNR
