1.5 million full time jobs lost, 1.7 million part time jobs added
Democrats have a solution for this issue—bring in millions more illegal invaders and call them “migrants”.
;-)
Hey, doesn’t Zelensky need it more than we do?
And don’t the illegals pouring over our borders need phones, credit cards, housing, clothes, health care, schooling and food?
FYI. It is not the rent. It is all the handouts, prison releases, marijuana psychosis and other drugs.
The Reddit people are crying about this... but refuse to acknowledge that millions of illegals cause rents to go up.
Obviously Trump’s fault.
My Midwest college town has a terrifying number of homeless, and I do not believe the conventional wisdom that most homeless are drug addicts or too lazy to work. I think a lot of them are buried in student loan and credit card debt and don’t earn enough with their affirmative action degrees to service it all.
I stopped at the North Carolina welcome center rest area on I77 northbound from South Carolina. There were approximately 50 old cars, pickup trucks and vans parked along the shoulder of the ramp leading from the highway to the welcome center, and in the welcome center parking lot which were obviously being lived in by homeless people.
I spoke to one of the employees in the welcome center. He said there are usually over 100 vehicles parked in the welcome center overnight. People sleep in them even when temperatures are below freezing. He said many of these people are working in nearby Charlotte, NC but can’t afford to rent an apartment. He said quite a few are young singles or couples struggling to get by. He also said a large number have no drug or alcohol program, they are just down on their luck.
It was an extremely sad thing to witness. I thought of the many times the NC governor is on television cutting a ribbon for some corporate project the state has given millions of dollars in incentives to land. I thought of the big churches in the Charlotte area so proud of sending missions to Africa or Central America while a few miles away their fellow Americans are shivering through the night in a car at the rest area and taking a sink bath in the rest area restroom. I thought about the millions of foreign poor who are streaming across the border and being given government paid housing, food, and medical care, while the homeless working poor US citizens sleeping overnight in a cold vehicle are struggling to survive.
Our country is broken. The political system is corrupt, our institutions are not serving the people, our infrastructure is crumbling, and the social welfare agencies are obsessed with race and gender issues, not given the working poor a hand. We are rapidly losing our humanity.
A few days ago I got panhandled at a gas station by a dirty bum in a tiny town called north powder OR. Middle of freaking nowhere. They’re absolutely everywhere.

They voted for Biden
And the News Media led them right down the primrose path to Vote for Corrupt Joe Biden hailing from Dirty Delaware.
Landlords trying to recover from the COVID eviction moratorium...gotta recoup the expenses from the paying customers.
The economy isn’t why they are homeless. Most are on drugs, crazy or both. I know others who just don’t want to work much. They live in vans and such, take short term jobs under the table, park in friends’ driveways, etc. They think it’s great, low pressure, no rental or mortgage payments, etc.
This must stop.
And I am not only talking about illegal aliens.
We have to stop allowing in so many people legally as well.
A record number of Americans are homeless yet I donβt think the vacancy rate is that high. Landlords price their rentals higher and the government pays it for the migrants coming in. 6 million migrants yet they arenβt living in tents under the freeway overpass. 6 million Americans are living under the freeway. Not to mention the fact that the immigrants get to vote because they live in houses and homeless Americans donβt get to vote because they donβt have a mailbox to have their ballot sent to. Of course it doesnβt help that the homeless Americans have drug and alcohol addiction issues that make them a poor risk as tenants.
No Americans would be homeless if the government treated us as well as it does illegal invaders.
"Tax Credit" confuses the issue because investors - not tenants - are awarded Tax Credits. Tenants receive rental agreements that are often 50% or more below the geographic average.
I believe that LIHTC is actually the largest low income housing program in the USA.
The final rental decision is up to landlords, but they are not required to verify citizenship or Green Cards.
Every scrap of real estate, apartment, and “affordable housing” is being scooped up by organizations giving illegals aliens a free place to live. The democrats know the poor and idiot minorities will vote for democrats regardless. Now though, the illegals rule this nation and they need their support.
As with Denver's wee crisis, or San Fransisco's or NYC's or Chicago's or those Democrats in Maine and Massachusetts floating the insanity that people take "migrants" into their homes, the entirety of this mess is made in DC by Democrats and RINOs and money-grubbing NGOs.
As so, again with clarity, the "fundamental transformation" of these United States as openly bragged about by Obama, is THE root cause.
