Where TAX PAYER MONEY is concerned, I think the fb’s and overspending renters should find cheaper shelter,then if they still need help because of a real threat of homelessness, then a saftey net should be there… In the case of renters the system mostly works as it is… if you can’t afford it move . I don’t see where two wrongs would make a right. You would hope that the rediculous use of the nation’s capacity for charity would stop somewhere?[/quote]
Then we’re in agreement. Certainly if renters or “owners” can’t afford a place, they need to move. We should not subsidize any group, IMHO, with the same exceptions (basic needs) you’ve mentioned above. It just that some people seem to believe one group (“owners”) should receive preferential treatment, and that’s what I disagree with.
