        To make it perfect they could add a provision where families earning over a million a year could write their rent off as a business expense.

        How utterly "CLUELESS" has America become to not FULLY see the GOP's REPEATED acts of "legislative terrorism" AGAINST the “poor” and “middle-classes” in America and VOTE THEM OUT?! HOW many more THOUSANDS of examples do you need before you VOTE THEM OUT?! WAKE UP, America!

        Because we don't have near enough people struggling to stay alive on the streets, let's make sure we can dump more out of affordable housing....because that's the @realDonaldTrump way.

        Bucky boy, your ignorance is showing your intelligence level....not all that bright, are you? You'd never survive on the streets, but that could be a positive for the rest of us.

        How on earth does tripling low income rent help them to become self sufficient? Does someone wave some magic wand and say some magical words? gop logic leaves me mystified!

        We need community organizers like Barack to get HUD tenants all registered and voting. Ben, you were a great surgeon, but now you are a disgrace. Triple the rent on poor people in substandard housing? WTF

        Shouldn't we make sure people have a livable wage before compromising their safety net?
