Cut HUD budget, in total.
Are Housing and Urban Development the proper Constitutional business of the federal government?
How so?

Regarding the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) –
- Housing and Urban Development are not listed under Article 1 Section 8 of the
Constitution, or anywhere else for that matter, so why is the US
government concerning itself with such things?
- The Constitution nowhere grants Congress the authority or ability to "delegate" any of its sole authority to legislate new law, nor does it grant authority to the President to create any Soviet (a purely unrepresentative, unelected bureaucracy of regulators and administrators established solely to bypass Congress in "regulating" the people without the process of legislation.)
So why does HUD even exist?
Did Americans not have any good housing, and were its urban areas not "developing", before we had HUD? Do Americans need a huge federal bureaucracy of the US government to continue to house themselves and organize their neighborhoods as they see fit? How are citizen housing and so-called urban development the proper business of the federal government? Was citizen housing better or worse, before and after HUD was born and grew into the monster that it is?
I submit that the American federal government has done more to harm citizen housing than to improve it, and sought to turn large numbers of independent free-thinkers into dependent, unthinking sheep, convinced that they cannot take care of themselves, and that only government can take care of their needs, thus becoming more ready for government herding.
The Progressive (rather than the Revolutionary) path to Communism involves a slow, steady migration of authority to various Soviets (unrepresentative bureaucracies) organized under the direct control of a central power, so that all political power may gradually be concentrated and centralized. It has to be done slowly so that it is not noticed by the people.
The history of HUD clearly shows the Progressive trail it followed. Most people think HUD was born in 1965, when it was raised to Cabinet level by Lyndon Johnson as part of his "Great Society" program. But the "Progress" began long before that. Progressives always want to get the highest levels of government deeply involved in the most mundane details of private life. The foot-in-the-door always involves helping the less fortunate. The ultimate aim is control of everyone.

Make no mistake about it: like every other giant American Soviet, HUD is going on steroids under Comrade Obama, peace be upon him. He is transforming America, as he said he would, but not so much through Revolution. At least not yet. It is being done through Organization, ala the infamous Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. We are being "Organized" into a Constitution-ignoring dictatorship, even as we are being purposely spent into economic oblivion.
Here is the current organization of HUD "sub-departments":
- Community Planning and Development: Many major affordable housing and homelessness programs are administered under Community Planning and Development. These include the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), the HOME program, Shelter Plus Care, Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program (Mod Rehab SRO), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).
- Housing: This office is responsible for the Federal Housing Administration; mission regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; regulation of Manufactured housing; administration of Multifamily housing programs, including Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202) and Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811); and Healthcare facility loan insurance.
- Public and Indian Housing: This office administers the public housing program HOPE VI, the Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly – yet more popularly – known as Section 8), Project-Based Vouchers, and individual loan programs housing block grants for Indian tribes, Native Hawaiians and Alaskans.
- Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity: This office enforces Federal laws against discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability and familial status.
- Policy Development and Research (PD&R): This office is responsible for maintaining current information on housing needs, market conditions, and existing programs, as well as conducting research on priority housing and community development issues through the HUD USER Clearinghouse.
- Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae)
- Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control.
- Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (developed in 1998).
Like all American Soviets (I mean government departments) each HUD sub-department listed above comes complete with its own Secretary and ever growing staff of bureaucrats and petty bureaucrats with long titles, huge salaries and benefit packages, expense accounts and perqs, secretaries of their own, staffs of their own, and on, and on, and on. You are paying for all of this. You alone. HUD makes no money. HUD only spends tax dollars.
If We the People ever regain control of our own government, we need to shut this monstrosity down permanently.
That's my opinion.
I invite you to check out all the other American Soviets listed and linked in the top group of right column links on this webpage to see just how far we have been "organized" away from the very Constitution that all of our elected "representatives" falsely swore to uphold. There are more such pages to come.
Peace be with you.

I wonder if you are aware how much$$$ ACC recieves from HUD. If HUD cut funding to ACC's purportedly "non-profit" activities, they would be up the creek without a paddle. Me thinks you should spend time cleaning ACC's house before you start cleaning others....

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction.

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand
Atheist Genesis:
In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.
