The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will be no more, after Congress has its way. The lawmakers have declared the government's intent to withdraw completely from federal involvement in government housing policy. This means not only getting rid of the Cabinet agency, but also canceling the mortgage support programs popularly known as Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. And they believe that taxes and spending are too high.
Housing is a state and local problem, if it's a government problem at all.
The federal government never should have gotten involved in that quagmire to begin with. However, he had issued a prepared statement, which one of his aides read. The federal government has got to address these issues. This vote is an abomination. We, of course, will continue to fight for justice for the American people.
