Why couldn't the US have guaranteed government housing available to any citizen that needs it? A $100 a month apartment to cure homelessness shouldn't be a funny joke ... it should be questioned with "why should it even cost money"?

Government housing tied to the cost of 1 weeks minimum wage. So simple, so elegant.

The government actually helping people without lining the pockets of the capital class? That's commie talk

They need the extra asbestos for fireproofing. It's going to be hard work bringing back all the harmful chemicals of yesteryear.

Democrats never directly helping people (without lining the pockets of billionaires) is exactly why Trump was elected. FDR was the last President that actually fought for the working class and he was so popular he was elected 3 times.

I know it's not trendy to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway: Bill Clinton is a bad person, but he was a good president.
