Who covers YOUR rent/mortgage while you are on vacation?

Unless I'm missing something, it's not actually costing taxpayers much.

Taxpayers should be contributing absolutely NOTHING to facilitate their travel plans. Not $50,000. Not $50. ZERO

Incase some of you folks don't quite know, but should be obvious, federal program funds are TAXES collected from us one way or another. If Somalians want to go visit there home country, they can do it on there own dime, not federal, state or local tax anything! Typical democrat BS handing out money to immigrants instead of taking care of our own people. Remember when our dumb ass governor said to Minnesotans about the Syrian refugees coming to Minnesota? In case you missed it, he said if you don't like it, LEAVE! Unfortunate we have way to many dumb mofos in this state that elected and re elected this tard. Just shows how stupid this state has become.

You know he wants to, but then he'd have to break his vow never to return and he'd look like even more of a tool than usual. This puts him in a real predicament.

That said, this policy change is only costing Minneapolis Housing Authority $50,000, and 90% of their $103M budget comes from a federal grants and rent. Unless I'm missing something, it's not actually costing taxpayers much.

The fact that it only costs the MHA $50,000, is part of the problem. It becomes "look, we can run this scam, and it costs us almost nothing......". It costs the MHA absolutely nothing, zero, zip, nada, because whether State, local or Federal, they don't actually have an income/budget that the taxpayer isn't funding in total. They don't do anything to earn income, except from us.
