HUD's Affordable Housing Crisis

As the Obama Administration plans to implement their recently signed $787 billion rescue plan, one of the areas they will immediately be forced to confront is the ongoing housing crisis. The stimulus gives the Department of Housing and Urban Development $13.6 billion to address the needs of low-income families across the country. Experts say it's a good start, but new HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan is facing an enormous task, as he attempts to overhaul an agency that is facing years of neglect and mounting debt.

You know America sold itself as the land of the free, the land of opportunity...............what the hell is going on?? Greed and egotism are at the root of all these problems.  At least our poor have health and housing and that goes for all of Europe. More car jobs going too!! that's gonna push people even more.

@WhatNowRed What'th, --while you're right about HUD, --you've been terribly deluded by the jewZionist Radio/TV/Cinema-media into believing their hateful propaganda about the Germans and Japanese, and there is no such thing as Al'Qaeda (-that is just a CIA straw-man for promoting encless wars). Jews were originally barred by our Founders, who fled to n.America to escape their criminality; -but in 1913 they installed their corrupt Fed.Reserve & IRS-henchmen, whereby they've destroyed USA...!!!

FYI: -the corrupt Section-8 Housing which costs $500K just to build a modest Studio-apt. in So.Calif., is an outrage to those of us struggling to pay our usury Mortgage & Taxes. Thanks to the jewZionist Rothschild/Rockefeller Bank'ster-mafia that has hyjacked our nation, most of these people are useless-eaters, that sadly have no idea as to whom their biological father is, -thus should have not been born, -nor having more burdensome brats expecting to be supported by our Commie Gov'mt...!!!
