[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]News flash: subsidized housing requires the voucher holder to pay a portion of the rent. It's calculated as a percentage of their "income" which could be from employment/wages, disability benefits, VA disability benefits, SSI, etc.

That means they do have skin in the game.

"Food stamps" only cover certain items, which means people are paying out of pocket for food and items like diapers. Food stamps don't cover diapers, cleaning products, etc.

Again, that's skin in the game.

Re: healthcare - free healthcare is primarily limited to children and people with disabilities. Do you want kids without access to healthcare in class with your precious snowflake?[/quote]

News flash.  Many landlords willing to take government vouchers do not care if the tenant pays the small amount of rent required. They have a guaranteed bigger check from the government than their beater housing would get in the marketplace

Food stamps can buy food that can then be sold below market for cash to buy cleaning products as well as beer, cigarettes and diapers

Free health care is provided through Medicaid and is in no way limited to children and those with disabilities.   It is also provided through hospital emergency rooms who will never collect on the bills and by free clinics

I am not sure why people are naive enough to believe that these  programs are not perverted by the beneficiaries or by those who provide the benefits. [/quote]
