    Housing is affordable if you actually work for. Just another government handout that taxpayer's foot the bill for.

    I’m happy my taxes are helping these people. Much better than corporate welfare or tax breaks for the wealthy

    Sounds like more government pork to me.

    There is no such thing as a grant, only money forcibly seized from those who earned it and redistributed to those who didn't.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
