Subsidized housing rent hike

samedi 21 juillet 2018 à 02:00

Saboteur of Housing Carson presents his plan to raise rent in subsidized housing as a way to pressure poor people to work.

40% of Americans can't handle an unexpected expense of $400. These rent increases would add up to more than $1000 a year.

Poor people in the US today are in such desperate situations that they would all work — if they can. So the idea of pressuring then to work, regardless of what kind of pressure it would be, is fundamentally absurd.

What those people can do, and will do for a while, is go without food and/or medicine.
