Mr. Secretary, studies have shown there is a direct link between the quality of housing and the well-being of low-income children.
“The results reveal that housing quality was the most consistent and strongest predictor of a child’s well-being. Specifically, children living in poorer quality homes exhibited greater emotional and behavioral problems than those who lived in higher quality housing, and their problems increased as housing problems worsened over time.”

Effing moron.

Ben’s right—it’s outrageous that the white working class is being bled dry to enable societal parasites to live in palatial luxury on the taxpayer’s dime.
