They are not losing their homes! We are just moving them temporarily while we build a newer, bigger building. If they cannot afford their new apartments where the monthly payments will be 10 times what they used to be, that is their fault! They should have gone out and made a couple million dollars in the last year. They are just so lazy!

Talk about the blind leading the blind! Building housing is a capital investment but itâs not akin to building roads or airports or bridges. And, yes, people will lose housing under this budget. What does he think rent assistance is? When the checks stop coming, as they surely will, the private landlords will evict. And as for public housing, that infrastructure is mostly 40-80 years old and, bereft of essential modernization and capital improvements, thousands of existing units will soon be taken out of service due to inhabitability. That means those people get kicked out, too. And donât get me started on the necessity of CDBG fundsâŚ

Has anyone in the press asked Mulvaney or Spicer why money is being cut from programs that help the poor while we pay for security for THREE homes for Trump so that he can golf when he wants and his wife can live her own life in the Big Apple? I wait the day when the press finally has the balls to call this administration on this nonsense - why we are paying MILLIONS of dollars to allow supposed billionaires to have fun and live the lives they want while everyone else âeats cakeâ

âMulvaney: âNo One Will Get Kicked Out Of Their Housesâ Due To HUD Funding Cut.â
This from the guy who says that Meals on Wheels has gotta go.
Yet again, MAGA my ass.

So where is this new infrastructure spending in the budget? The same place as phases II and III of healthcare âreformâ?
Maybe theyâre going to make a Wall of apartment houses, like the old anasazi cliff dwellings.
Know what you canât do when youâre left stranded and homeless? Register to vote.
You do the fucking math here.

Fking Bull*t. Thatâs the whole point for cutting the funds - to kick people out of low income housing so the billionaires in Trumpâs cabinet, including Trump himself, can gentrify more areas.

This guy is a major wacko in a government filled with them.
Please never forget PeePeeâs BFF Paladino who, when running for NY guv in 2010 wanted toâŚ
Republican candidate for governor Carl Paladino said he would transform some New York prisons into dormitories for welfare recipients, where they would work in state-sponsored jobs, get employment training and take lessons in âpersonal hygiene.â
Now, remember, these were âunderusedâ prisons in central and upstate NY - sounds nice, right?
Yup, from the NY Post 8/21/2010
No one will get kicked out, but they might need to find roommates.
For years and years we have built infrastructure like this and it
doesnât work very well. So what weâre doing now is taking it out of the
discretionary budget and move it into the larger infrastructure.
âLarger infrastructure?â What the hell does that mean? This is doubletalk worthy of Groucho Marx.
I mean are you cutting 6 billion or arenât you? And are you trying to tell us that nobody will be negatively affected by it?
Where do these disgusting excuses for human beings come from?
Your home can still be taken from you, even if itâs fully paid. Iâm proof of that. No mortgage, no liens, no debt, and my home was taken from me. And you wouldnât believe the coded lies that were told to defend that: no environmental impact (climate change is a hoax!), it was all part of my dream come true experience!, a documentary, social commentary. Those are only a few examples Iâve read these last few years about the loss of my home.
The truth is, there was no reason for it but for predation, the absolute indifference and callousness to orchestrating that loss for its entertainment value and how it could be monetized and manipulated for the benefit of people with no scruples.
Edit: Other than being a few thousand in arrears in maintenance, I had no other debt. But I lived there for years and was a good neighbor, so thatâs something that wouldnât have been an insurmountable problem. I could have gotten a small loan, then a temporary roommate until I got on my feet again. A couple of people in my then-co-op did the same thing when they found themselves in the same circumstances.
