One of the problems with section 8 vouchers is their permanency. All welfare should be time limited except to perhaps the truly disabled. Section 8 vouchers create permanent dependency. Many lazy and able people use Section 8 vouchers. Time limits would force these lazy people to get a job and make something of themselves.
Great point. The problem is govt. bureaucracy loves creating dependent classes and keeping them that way. It creates job security. The politicians love these programs for the same reason, they have a whole class of people who need them.
I know when welfare reform was passed they put time limits in it and the rolls began to decline, but since then they have expanded the other programs such as Sec. 8 vouchers to pick up the slack. Maybe the solution is creating a welfare bureaucracy that houses, and trains people. IOW, if you're on aid you report to class at 8AM Monday-Friday and stay till 4PM. When you don't show you lose your spot including the housing and your kids get put into foster care.
Once you give an able bodied person a nice home, what’s the motivation to ever get off welfare? All the government is doing is condoning bad lifestyles. But of course, according to the liberal school system, that is racist to say that someone’s lifestyle is bad. Not working, living off the government, getting all the handouts you can get, not bothering to get married, letting a bum of a boyfriend who doesn’t work live with you while you are raising someone else’s children, that’s bad, and the government shouldn’t be in the business of subsidizing people’s wicked life-style choices.
