Regarding the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) –
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":
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....

If you would be so good as to inform me who or what an ACC is, I might have a better understanding of what you thinks, why you thinks it and how you came to thinks it.

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
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
