US housing crisis: what can Ben Carson learn from radical 1960s 'new town' plan?

[umbertino]

The US housing department’s ambitious initiatives of the 60s and 70s created urban communities that were both mixed race and mixed income. Though many didn’t last, are there lessons in them for Donald Trump’s new housing secretary?

Dr. Carson already said the best thing he could do for them is get them OFF welfare.

And he oughtta know... HE LIVED IT.

We need to quite making it so damned nice on the Taxpayer's dime that they all just wanna hang out there

forever and make it a way of life.... we're already on our 6th generation of welfare recipients who never even tried

to get off and get out...

6 generations of folks on the public dole... having those babies and gittin' that money....

Have enough of them welfare babies with no baby-daddies and their income surpasses that of the middle class who WORK HARD for a living !

Time to release the succubus hoards !

We could easily afford to help those WHO REALLY NEED IT if we could unhook all these greedy sucker fish.

There's a lot missing from this article.  From 2005 -2015 employment was in decline.  Food stamps were at its all time high.  Full time jobs were becoming scarce, big Corporations were moving their companies out of the United States.  All this and more has to fit into the equation to make this post accurate.  Those who wanted to work took any job they could to keep up with their lifestyle.  Those who depended on the government, lost out.

When ho'bummer hit office, he went on a massive push to get as many Americans on programs as possible....

he had to justify his evil masters' agenda to enslave, so stole billions of Tax Dollars for bogus programs for

 give-aways to get his victims beholden to duh gubment...

cash for clunkers, Obama-fone, food stamps, unqualified home loans,  etc, etc, etc.....  knowing full well that once

you get them on the gubment teat, they never wanna get off it....

Exactly what the libs are screaming now about dismantling ho'bummer-lack-o'-care.... sound familiar...?

 

Watching Trump undo evil is sending them into fits... manic psychosis... sheer LUNACY.
