[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This just another dumb Harris idea. She apparently learned from Biden to just simply buy votes with Government handouts. It will never pass.[/quote] This. It’s sickening how all their ideas come down to thinly-veiled bribes to whichever voters they’re trying to court. And I’m a Democrat. [/quote] +1 Free phones, free college education, now free down payments. What’s next, I wonder.[/quote] I 100% guarantee that within months of this free money being handed out, if it does happen, there will be complaints that it isn't sufficient. "I need a house in a GOOD school district for my kids" "I need a house with enough bedrooms for all my kids" "I need a house that's brand-new because I work 3 jobs and don't have time to make repairs." And the party of Joy will cry out at the cruelty of ONLY giving out $25k and can't we do better?[/quote] Uh, I realize you meant that as some kind of mean spirited sarcasm, but here’s the thing - you’re so hateful you don’t even realize those are all valid points and should all be addressed. $25k isn’t enough. Mostly because greedy people (like you) will just raise your home prices $25k. So really it should be $100k, not $25k As for school districts, yes - we SHOULD be helping single moms live in better school districts because better education means kids escape multigenerational poverty. New homes? Absolutely. What single mother has enough time or knowledge to deal with a fixer upper home in whatever little off time she has from her multiple jobs. A house with multiple bedrooms? Uh, yes. Do you really expect brothers and sisters to stay in the same bedroom past 10-12 years old? Why would think it’s ok to subject a young girl to that? Sicko. So yes, we CAN do better than $25k. That’s basically nothing. [/quote] Your post cracks me up. I am betting that you are a person vehemently against school choice. The best way to get kids a better education is for school choice. Why should private schools be only for well-to-do people? Why not provide vouchers for lower income people so they CAN put their children in better schools? School vouchers is a much better investment than giving people money for a down payment. There are people on this board who believe the government should take care of all the needs of all the people. Free healthcare. Free college. Free food. Free housing. Free whatever-the-hell-you-need-or-want because it isn't fair that others have something you don't. Meanwhile our country is $36+ TRILLION dollars in debt. The more you get, the more you want. And, "free everything" totally wipes out any incentive to work or put in effort to get ahead. Sorry, we don't live in a socialist or communist country. There are things that you actually need to work for in order to receive. Stop with the entitlement mentality. Or, move to Cuba or Venezuela, or some other country that you think meets your demands better. [/quote]
