Looks to me like another case of government overstepping its authority.

28 Comments on How Will This New Government Program Affect the Real Estate Industry?
Marte,
I agree with Lenn and YOU! What will they think of NEXT!!!
Elections have consequences, and we're seeing one of them. Larger government begets even larger government. It has to continue to grow at our expense. This is a good example of a solution to something that wasn't a problem.
The only people in Oregon that will gain, is Loggers. Looks like lots of paper will be needed.
In favor of getting rid of community and societal trash, they will want to come into our homes to see what things we have in there.
What do you expect that a gun safe will be considered "unhealthy?!"
Lenn - America can't afford more government employees (I agree, not all are "workers" in any strech of the imagination.)
Thus, we don't need another government agency. This is the second one I've seen announced since January 1. So what can we do? I know doing nothing won't help, so I just looked up the mailing addresses for my people in Congress. I intend to write them. Email is easier, but perhaps a "real" letter is better? I don't know.
Everyone can find their Senators and Representatives by visiting http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
Just type in your zip code.
Debbie - Whatever it is, it will add to the national debt and likely intrude on personal liberties.
Richard - If there isn't a problem, create one!
Gita - Good - we all need to be well-informed.
Rob - That's for sure. Mountains of paper will be needed.
Jay - Oh, I'm sure that's an unhealthy piece of furniture. But then, so is that nightstand, if it happens to hold a revolver.
Well, one thing we can count on no matter how this turns out, is that it will be a failure at achieving its stated objectives and will waste billions of our tax payer dollars.
Janna - You and I are on the same page. We need a few dozen agencies disbanded, and definitely don't need any new ones.
How many private sector workers does it take to pay enough taxes to support one more government job?
I hate to say it, but I agree with Lenn. When you make blanket statements, you need to have people to implement the plan.
Melissa - How many more government employees will it take - just to write the process by which they will try to reach each of those 5 goals? And then, how many more to oversee putting them into action?
Even if I thought this was a good idea - we can't afford it.
(Someone needs to teach people in government how to say those four little words.)
This admin and my own State are working hard to slow things down. Our Gov. is going over the deep end.
William - I agree. Where does the insanity stop?
Hi Marte. Unfortunately when the feds and Feds get involved they end up increasing the cost and price which we end up paying for. Ugh. I am beyond upset....
Lana - Yes. They need to back off and quit trying to fix things when they have no idea what they're doing. Safe housing for all sounds very nice - but it isn't possible. For one thing - who determines what is or isn't safe?
This is another way for the government to become bigger and stronger. Those with pull will get a pass on their houses/apartments/structures while the average person will get slapped around by bureaucratic red tape.
Show me one government agency that isn't bloated.
Than - I wish I could show you one! And I wish I could show you one that wasn't subject to the cronyism you mentioned..
Marte, Don't tell me this was Greespan's idea!! He's the one who said we need to burn down all the foreclosures. No, we don't need more government programs and agencies that do not actually help people.
Pamela - I hadn't read that. Sounds like a way to make the housing crisis start all over again - since prices are rising in reaction to reduced housing inventories.
What we need is for government to do what the Constitution set forth as its functions - and leave the rest of it alone.
I think it's one of those good intentions that isn't practical.
Michelle - and we need to remember that good intentions are what got us into this whole mess.
