I spent the last 4 days caring for very young grandchildren so I am suffering the haze of fatigue that comes with the situation. I'll have to dig back and find out what it was that leaves this conclusion lingering in my brain!

[ClintonBeGone]

she was a driving factor behind a minority home owner bill which basically gives takes our tax dollars and gives them to persons of color who are too inept to get a house themselves. Robbing the producers to give something for nothing to the lazy. Other than that I'm not sure.

Not all low-income people are minorities. In fact, homeownership is a good thing. I would much rather have my tax dollars going to help people in this way, than to fund their living in some welfare apartment complex where they deal drugs and steal from others in the neighborhood. What this bill offers is no different than what I got from the VA.

From her website: “Studies show that the average net worth of low-income persons, which is $900 when they rent, skyrockets to $70,000 when they own their own home. Moreover, statistics demonstrate that children of families who own their own home experience a 13 percent higher graduation rate together with a 7 percent accelerated rate of math achievement and reading recognition Additionally, such children complete almost one-half year more of education.

. . .

The American Dream Downpayment Act attacks the homeownership gap that exists across America by authorizing $400 million in grants to cover the downpayment and closing costs associated with purchasing a home, which housing advocates have identified as the largest impediment preventing low-income Americans from owning their own home."

We will need to start posting Mrs Harris pictures in these threads. Similar to Ann Coulter. I don't know how otherwise I would.

I agree with you Ducky.  Don't you think she would contrast well to Hillary in the Senate.

 

[iBillDavis]

Great minds concur, Duckman!  Does anyone have that picture of the lovely Ms. Harris on a horse?  I looked all over for that last week and couldn't find it.

 

I don't know how otherwise I would.

This will show you how in two minutes.  Please ping me when you get some posted.

Yes - more pictures - anyone have the one where she is on the horse?

[Rummyfan]

Pictures please!

[KantianBurke]

Uh, pardon me but the bill itself was catered towards minorities. If you are white or asian tough luck. Stolen taxpyer monies can only be used for helping those who have the "correct" skin color.

[KantianBurke]

You like that piece of legislation? You pay for it. The rest of us will try to obtain our own version of the American dream the old fashioned way - by working hard and not leeching off other hardworking people.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

And as a Bonus she is very easy on the eyes.

What the......you've been too long on your alligator farm!

Better get to town more often.

[bk1000]

I have it, but don't know how to post pictures.

[TexasTransplant]

I have a picture or to, (I got them when I went to town), and like you I do know how to post them.

[TexasTransplant]

to = two

[clintonh8r]

Is she wearing English boots, spurs and carrying a crop? Getting a mental picture....

[clintonh8r]

...guess not.

[chiller]

I heard Jeb talk about the program. IIRC, the goal is to get as many people as possible investing and caring for their own home. Vs rental dwellings that no one cares about, nor takes care of, nor grows any equity.

Don't know the specifics of the program. Anyone?

Harris has never appeared RINO to me.

The alternative, unfortunately, isn't no funding. The alternative is welfare. Pay their rent or give them that money in a down payment and watch them become productive citzens. It's a simple choice KantianBurke.

A lie.
