What is the plan? To build Section 8 housing? What if there’s no room?
I wonder if Jeff Flake and Hugh Hewitt believe any of the Republican majority who voted for this nightmare are qualified to be President?
They say “Trump doesn’t represent the Republican party” and then the Republican party does garbage like this. I say “all the more reason to vote Trump”. Seriously, by acting this way, the Republican party is BEGGING us to take a different path.
They have a job to do before Trump gets elected/inaugurated or they’re not getting their payment. I don’t *know* it’s that simple but I am pretty sure it’s about that simple.
If I see that where I am, there’ll be a for-sale sign on my yard before the day ends.
The plan has several spellings:
U-N-C-O-N-S-T-I-T-U-T-I-O-N-A-L,
I-L-L-E-G-A-L, and
T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y.
Impeach Obama for the thousandth time.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Obama is a lame duck POTUS.
Yet they are behaving as if he's the most super-popular NEW POTUS, ever.
They don't even put up token opposition.
Pro tip: when you go back to your districts, and are running for re-election, give your constituents a REASON to send you back to DC.
These GOP morons will end up losing their seats over this.
And it won't be because of Trump.
Had they even done a half-assed job, there wouldn't even be a Trump to worry about.
Not at all. We have a 20-year-old HOA community with the new construction: ie. Tyvek and energy-saving windows, doors and appliances under brick fronts and vinyl siding, with buried phone/cable/fiber lines. There are common areas, sidewalks, and the whole neighborhood backs onto a wooded state park. It was paradise when we moved here. There were homeowners of every race and religion here, roughly in the same proportion as the national demographic, all of whom could afford to live here, pay the community dues and keep their property up.
But during the Obama recession of 2009-10, owners who had to move for employment reasons, for instance, couldn't sell readily and the unpaid volunteer HOA Board voted to allow houses to be rented. Within months, the entire 130-home community started getting seeded with ghetto Section 8 renters, and now it is every four to six houses.
Now we have broken glass, loud parties late into the night when others have to get up for work the next day, thumper cars, speeding on the straightaways and around the corners regardless of children playing, thefts of yard and garden equipment and unbagged trash floating hither and yon. Participation in the HOA board meetings has stopped. The pool rules have had to become draconian. Those of us who pay the community dues without government assistance have seen them nearly quadruple, for fewer services, because now we have to pay for a mostly useless night security vehicle and someone to pick up dog waste, because the renters don't bother. They also defend their children trespassing on other's decks and yards, because they do not understand the whole concept of ownership. If you say no to them, angry moms come roaring out to lay the race card against you.
My lifetime housing investment (I am now retired) has already lost at least 30% of its market value, but taxes, too, have gone up. The black professionals who moved here initially to raise their kids in safety now are faced with guns and drugs in the schools and their children lumped in by skin color with the Section 8 fatherless children.
I shudder to think what our helpful socialist government will do next. And I am at a loss as to where to go that won't be forced to become just like here.
