HUD Scraps Controversial Section 8 Bidding Process

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has completely scrapped the bidding process previously underway for contracts to manage the Section 8 program, which provides rental assistance to low-income persons, and will start again from scratch.

The Washington Free Beacon previously reported on the Section 8 contracts, including allegations from a long-time contractor who claimed bureaucrats in the agency had been purposefully skewing the process.

Put an end to Section 8 housing.

But otherwise, proof of citizenship, and proof that no funds will be allocated to households which have illegal aliens living in the house.

It’s another part of the trend of Federal everything when it comes to acts eleemosynary.

[VanShuyten]

To go from the corruption-prone “grants” system to an open bid system.

It would be nice if we had got by now some sign, somewhere of Carson being up to his cabinet post.

I am thinking public housing is more like selling pizza than conducting brain surgery—and HeRman Cain maybe could have done a better job.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

While I support what HUD does for genuinely needy people in principle, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for most INTRAstate purposes, including for housing for low-income voters.

• “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.

• ”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 states don’t need the burden of an unconstitutional middle-man, the unconstitutionally big federal government, “helping” the states to manage their revenues.

In fact, consider that “federal” funding for most state programs is arguably stolen state revenues.

Patriots need to support their state lawmakers in working with Pres. Trump to put a stop to state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

Patriots need to do this by electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will support Trump.

And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.

Federal Section 8 should be terminated. It should be completely up to any state if they want and think they need such a program - and they can fund it. They can fund it because we can simultaneously lower federal taxes equal to the federal cost of the Section 8 program, leaving that money in the pockets of the residents of the states, where THEIR politicians can ask for it back for their own Sec 8 program - if they want to.
