Section 8 and luxury living

So you think that Section 8 should be temporary? How about work requirements? ...oh, oh, there already are.

When England figured out all the rich people owned the land, they created Council Flats. We have reached the point where the earnings curve has crossed the OWNING curve, and being in Section 8 is more or less permanent for poor people. If you are a Trump MAGA and you are in Section 8, Trump is going to kill you along with the rest of the poors. Trump really hates Poor MAGA as much as he hates Poor Libs.

It would be much better if the Feds passed laws to prohibit the corporate investing in single family residential homes.

But we know that Republicans would rather see children starve than lose profits.

This is just a re-statement of Ronald Reagan's lie that welfare queens are driving Cadillacs and living in the lap of luxury at taxpayer expense. This conjecture was exposed as an outright fabrication then, and it will be again now.

If Section 8 housing is so fabulous, why aren't you on it, OP?

these are lies

Notice that they didn't actually provide proof that someone was living for free in a $6k/month apartment.

It's a fucking lie.

Conservatives lie about literally everything.

lies

Yeah, this just seems like the kind of shit people say when they really have no actual plan. We'll dick around with a few "retraining" programs in completely obsolete jobs and then kick your ass out the door. You'll get a job at walmart or some shit and, surprise, surprise, not make enough to afford any rent in any reasonable place to live.

And what happens to the owners of these properties if the gop gets its way and kills section 8? Same thing that is happening to business owners who relied on a stable and predictable set of international trade agreements. Except they won’t have section 8 to live in when they end up bankrupt.

I defy anyone to 1) get approved for Section 8 and then 2) find a landlord of a $6000-per-month house [italic]anywhere[/italic] willing to rent to them. The scenario that this Trumptard claims and MSN printed is so far out of the realm of reality that it is laughable. And it would be funny if it weren't going to directly hurt poor people (the majority of whom are white, old and vote for Trump) the most while we gleefully hand out $billions to corporations in tax subsidies, and that includes to the most profitable corporations on the planet: oil companies.

We could pay for housing for every poor American by redirecting corporate welfare and still have $billions left over.

R2, I was a welfare coordinator working ADC/Medicaid benefits when, as we said, "We still helped people".

Then Reagan came in and created class warfare with Welfare Queens on Section 8 and Food Stamps.

I never met a welfare queen on my case load, but I will tell you that the families on my case load were equally divided between Blacks Latinos and Whites. But I can tell you that NOBODY would WANT to live in Section 8. It is pure warehousing of dispensable people and families. It is one step up from the urine saturated elevators of Cabrini-Green, of blessed memory.

If Project 2025 comes to fruition, and the Civil War was fought over the way state do business, then if you are on Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, LIEA or any Federal program that the southern states did not sign up for to give money away to freed slaves, you will die of starvation in the streets.
