housing counseling

How did we ever survive without socialism?

I just can't comprehend not getting help buying something with the money I didn't have to earn while surviving by eating the food a counselor shows me to eat before I am counseled on the least dangerous ways to sleep and then seeing a counselor to treat me for the bad dreams that I had about destroying the earth because of my poor attitude toward nature that I am waiting in line to get counseled for before I go to the unemployment office to look for a job my other counselor determined was best suited for me to keep me healthy for the lady chosen for me by my marriage counselor so I don't have to worry about divorce and wind up needing a worry counselor.

Thank God for socialism in a free society!

Now the Bagohammers Family won’t be tempted by predatory lenders to buy houses they can’t afford.

To make it fair and to make sure there are no losers in life, government will transfer wealth from those who have to take care of the Bagohammers clan for the promise of a vote.

That way we all can live in Utopia for ever and ever.

The first red flag should be phrases like “housing counselling” and counselling training-—two pairs of adjectives/nouns that both end in ‘ing’. Which means they are designed to go on forever..........
Hope we get a chance to do a cost/benefit analysis on this
which will prove to be as counterproductive as everything else, and just another of a thousand back-door conduits through which to distribute the diminishing ‘wealth’.

I would guess both companies received HUD money for a construction loan and/or the loan was guaranteed by HUD. This project could have also been awarded under any number of various government programs including ARRA, Small Business set-a-side, Socio-Economic, etc.

I’m not familiar with specific Ohio State or local laws, however at the Federal contract level, any government funded contract should have an “E-Verify” Contract clause which requires the contractor and subcontractor to certify they conducted a check in the E-Verify system (which includes SSA & DHS databases). I have not looked lately at the clauses, however E-Verify was required for over 50 employees.

It is also my understanding that E-Verify was not extended for the new FY, however I would need to research to make sure this is still the case since I’m certain there were changes in the law.

While at the same time they continue to destroy America from within all while pretending like they care for mainstreet America and the majority of Americans probably still think this MORON walks on water.

You nailed that down exactly; the money is going to the ACORN crowd who are basically unemployable outside a nonprofit or the government.

They may help with the basketball shoes riots. Welfare mobs storming stores for 175 dollar basketball shoes. Sick.

Makes sense. The Bagohammers have more kids, ergo more votes, than Mr. Igotmine and his nuclear family. Wolves outnumber lambs, and so decide on lunch.

The new House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, should defund this and all other Obama excrement.

‘Wisconsinstan’ got it’s share of the booty - for BLUE areas like Janesville, Milwaukee, Madistan, etc.

This is pure payola for 0bama supporters...if ONE Wisconsin family actually has their home ‘saved’ I’ll be shocked.

SHOCKED, I tells ya! :)

More stealth reparations and wealth redistribution.

This is all busywork with no actual assistance provided to participants.
The process itself is the product.
It’s just one more make believe need invented as a way to funnel taxpayer money to another racist organization.

The next step will be government paid Grief Counselors to comfort those who realize they were scammed by the original housing counseling program.

If they just GAVE out the money no one would need counseling. Less blabber, more action.
