😢 she doesn’t want to defend the homeless drug addict and instead spins it as a bunch of homeless mothers out there 😂.
HUD is nothing but a scammers program
In theory, capitalism works. But there are too many problems nowadays that prevent capitalism from working. We need to deal with these problems and stop pretending that they will be self-curing when the economy recovers.
I strongly recommend that you Mrs Fudge talk to Economist Thomas Sowell.
He was also in a democratic administration, that promised to end poverty and raise up the underclass.
When (s.i.c. in the administration) he suggested that they look into and publish the data on how successful the program was…
No one in the administration was interested, or supported him to complete this endeavor.
He learned that all the promises and statements of intent by the Democratic administration was…
#1) Gaslighting false intent…
#2) Future faking… (I.e. elect me and I will solve the problem)
#3) Triangulation… ( Don't vote republican because , see #1, #2 & #3.)
Spending of money is always the re-distribution of wealth, and there is a family in Newark where the son works hard at a fulfillment center. Who can't get ahead because in part, the taxes for programs like this, and is taught, there is always a safety net, and might end up thinking 'do I really need to work so hard?'.
So rather than saving people of color, you are reaching out and dragging them into the swamps of financial despair.
Be a father, not a mother, teach responsibility.
The long term solution to this epidemic problem is not to coddle the ones that drop out of society, many have families that won't let them back in due to stealing, drug use, mental instability.
The long term solution is to not hinder those, that can take care of themselves. Let they be the role model for future generations.
And always use your bully pulpit to make a statement against recreational drugs.
Not to much that can make me proud to be from Ohio,….she's one of those for me! Thank you from Springfield Ms Fudge!
SOLO SI ES SI.
TU GENOCIDIO RTVE.
DENUNCIADO EN LAS CPIS.
QUE CON LA VERDAD CENSURADA.
POR TI ENTERA VERDADERA.
YA SOLO ME CUENTAS MENTIRAS.
DENUNCIADA RTVE.
YA ES FIN.
THE END.
Homelessness in America, and yet we are letting hundreds of thousands of illegals in to this country, and on the tax payers dime.
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
At rates tgat are astronomical?? Why don't you build tiny home villages for these folks?? It would be cheaper than the constant clean up costs of their campsites. And they could get jobs, get some $ together & find an apartment. If the corps haven't bought up & overpriced every available space.
What do u expect when big corps buy up alk the properties, remodel & rent out at rates
why not drop homelessness to 100% by putting a cap on rent so people can afford a place to live, what a concept right?!
People want homes. I see families living out of their cars with children. Those who can afford hotels get stuck paying the convenient yet high cost. And yes, there are elderly living on fixed incomes who need help.
Secretary Fudge would solve the homeless crisis, but shes far too busy being delicious.
pandemic…. wear masks
Democrat policies = crime , homelessness, murder , starvation , inflation, loss of rights .
They are reporting that they are putting the immigrants in $700 a night hotels while our US citizens that include veterans kids woman seniors it's BS they are here illegally we do not want to change our population for a vote we can't afford to keep all these people our border should not be open an the tents an places they are keeping the immigrants are reporting them drinking an using drugs an damaging property they are stealing from the malls soon homes a school teacher out west tried to get funding through school system funding to pay a students cartel coyote fine so the student would be WTF is going on!??!
WE ALREADY HAD A HOMELESS PROBLEM SO ADD 2 MILLION MORE
This is a Federal problem..
The biden administration intentionally made this crisis ! It was a problem before these hacks and cheats came in with their b.s policies !!
314 millions for American homeless but 2 billions for immigrants in New York?
more low income and affordable housing and stop sending billions to other countries, let’s not forget millionaires and billionaires are buying up homes! limit the amount of homes they can buy! Not everyone can afford 1600 a month they have other bills to pay, get rid of that 3times the rent crap
Well, the government shut down our economy during Covid. Duh
They threw in the towel and shut everything down. cowards
THE SOLUTION IS FOR CITIES TO PURCHASE CRUISE SHIPS SLATED FOR DECOMISSION….. Your not going to solve the homeless issue by way of building homes. not for a measly 315m, that will get you but one or maybe two apartment buildings, housing about 150 people each,. at best. You need a better housing solution one that can implemented quickly. for cities already claiming to be broke financially, and state wide infrastructure needing dire repair and replacement nation wide the source of the problem came from past administrations not doing what they were suppose to and it now all snowballed into a major crisis. Global warming has seen to vast changes in weather and now the challenge of being out in the elements is simply too much for survival. And cant even begin to imagine the amount of people dyeing every year. So.. what are the options for solutions, not many at all but i have come up with one pretty good one, that works for coastal cities at least, and that's for such cities to acquire decommissioned Cruise ships. Most are unaware that modern cruise ship only operate for a few years before being sold and scrapped to poorer nations for their metal. My idea is to keep the ships as is, and sell them to cities for use as temporary housing. Consider that a Cruise ship is made to supports the housing of a lot of people with all the accommodations required. The average ship accommodating 6000 or more passengers. Rooms with full amenities, bathrooms showers, beds carpeting etc. everything. A single cruise ship can accommodate on average as many people that occupy a large housing complex. All this already installed and operational. The only required is simple modifications to outfit the ships for civilian use. Making it more safe. They have all the facilities for cooking, medical, eating, tons of space rooms and halls for just about anything you can think of as they are designed not just as floating hotels, but more so floating cities. Its a turnkey solution to a very hard issue to solve any other way. And such a thing is not intrusive to ones location as they simply dock to port and are plugged into the city's municipalities. Its simply a ship thats parked for the duration. Here the ship can temporarily house people and also serve as a location for getting such people back on their feet. Such vessels could have all sorts of services provided on the ship itself. again they are designed as cities with office space. They have medical bays, they even have jailing facilities. All this available at purchase. not to mention all fully furnished if optioned in the purchasing.
Its such a quick and easy solution that tackles a very large group of people. one that wouldnt take years in the making, one that is less than a fraction of any other solution. One that tackles issues with all displaced individuals, From the homeless to immigrants to city housing needs. All neatly contained on vessels designed specifically for the housing of large numbers of people. got a better idea? i dont.
Renting out to dirty mike and the boys. Having soup kitchens in them hud houses ,,,
Pouring money into this problem is not the answer. Change your policies all around and then maybe you'll see a reduction or change in homelessness.
BUILD HOUSING…..
Of course the one near the white house is cleared.
Reagan Caused Homelessness
Homelessness emerged during the Reagan Administration. Reagan’s drastic housing cuts in 1981 turned a worsening urban affordability crisis into the nation’s worst mass homelessness since the Great Depression.
Since then The Republicans use these same tactics Today Trickle Down Economics take from the working class Give to the rich and it trickled Back Down. But the Rich Keep the Money and don't Pay Taxes Along with Price Fixing (gouging) which intern bankrupts the working Class.
I have a full time job and filed income tax paying the IRS $5.000 in taxes and I am investigating by my self why my city says it doesn't have a homeless problem but receive,s 3 million a year in grant money 💵 to do something about homeless, I plan to file a 2 million dollar law suit against my city for improper use of Federal money 💵 not doing anything for the homeless but spending money 💵 to buy property land and fix up streets and more
And she will fudge this up real good
Maybe it’s the corporations that are buying homes and paying workers less than a living wage that’s causing this issue.
buy a tree and build a treehouse, your living in the air not on their land.
Throw $ at the problem is always the solution. The solution is the lack of construction for starter homes and high regulations at the local level.
Where I live there’s a homeless neighborhood with tiny houses
