A Program to Assist Homeless People to do Home Repair
Our government needs to do something useful for once, and do something
for the poor. Why not develop a program to Assist Homeless People to do Home Repair. First they need to educate these homeless people about proper home repair techniques and practices. Then provide these people with the tools and materials needed to repair their own homes. At least our tax dollars will be used for something good for once..... Is this too much to ask from our politicians! |

Every see the number of homeless that have mental problems, drug addition and/or are fugitives from justice? Heck, invite them into your home. First they need to educate these homeless people about proper home repair techniques and practices. Then provide these people with the tools and materials needed to repair their own homes. At least our tax dollars will be used for something good for once..... Is this too much to ask from our politicians! More big government. Politicians can't even fix the homeless problem but you want more government, Home Guy? The unions would never have it. When I was inspecting for the state, a lot of the work was in the prison system and they had inmates with lots of skill (mostly busted for "pot crime") but the state could not even use them for labor on state jobs outside the wire. The trades were to blame. They did not want the competition. These guys could pick up trash on the highway and clean up around job sites but they could not even pick up a shovel if it was "construction". Correct. Unions are the ones opposed. Air Force bases had federal prisoners doing janitorial duties in buildings so troops could perform more important duties. Unions lost the battle. But prisons on bases have been closed so maybe the Unions got contracts, IDK. When the feds started UNICOR https://www.unicor.gov/index.aspx the private sector sued the feds wanting contracts and lost, too. Likely the same in Texas. |

I just can't believe that some people think that the MooCow was serious and responded as such. I would have thought that everyone knew him by now. |
