Oh, you don't know about that. Okay, so HHS has been propping up Section 8 people in million dollar homes around America, using taxpayer money to compete with regular people for homes. Add that to lots of deportations and government workers selling their homes and Real
Estate prices are bound to go down.
 
If Trump and Musk want to really do some good and cut spending they should be getting the Republicans in Congress to write a bill to make it illegal to add any pork to any bill. Every bill should be a stand alone bill if it is worth passing they should not have to add pork to it to get it passed.
That would cut the pork and cut spending.

Indeed.

It has been discovered that illegals have been given funding to buy homes and cars.

According to a February 2025 NPR article, the union representing HUD has alleged fraud, waste, and abuse at the agency, including a $40 million app that was slow and dysfunctional.

Explanation

  • The union, AFGE Council 222, filed a complaint with HUD's Inspector General and members of Congress.
  • The complaint alleged that the app made it difficult for HUD to inspect its housing units as required by law.
  • The union said that front-line employees are often blamed for a slow bureaucracy, but that decisions made higher up can hamstring them.
  • The union said that the app was "woefully dysfunctional" and that it made it impossible for HUD to inspect nearly all of its housing units.
  • The union said that the app was disastrously slow and clunky to use.
  • The union said that the app was hamstrung by decisions made higher up.
  • The union said that they hope that a review of all contracts by DOGE will shed light on the lack of oversight.

I hope that this money can be “clawed back’ as has been happening with other government agencies.

Let’s review, the Democrats have been using taxpayer funds to give illegals cash for homes and cars.

Anyone care to defend this…anyone?

The empirical evidence is in, Democrats put a higher priority on illegal immigrants than hard working, tax paying Americans

ATLANTA — Nationwide layoffs at the Veterans Administration are impacting Atlanta’s VA Health Care System though the local VA did not say how big an impact or how many local workers were part of those layoffs.

Some terminated employees are asking why they were chosen.

The Trump administration announced it would lay off those employees late Thursday.


The new VA Secretary is former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins. He said this was a tough but necessary decision.


Former U.S. Army First Sergeant Nelson Feliz, Sr. was among those receiving a termination email.

“We’re mistreated,” Feliz told Channel 2′s Richard Elliot. “We’ve been betrayed.”

The “Notice of Termination” email from the VA to Feliz stated, “The agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the agency would be in the public interest.”

“I was a first sergeant. My job was to take care of troops, making sure they were paid, fed, and slept. Why is this happening to us? I’ve been here too long for this to be happening,” Feliz said.


Feliz said he’s been a VA employee for more than 12 years but just started in a new position in which he’s still in his probationary period, the layoff selected probationary employees for termination.

I have no sympathy for Trump voters working in the Federal government who voted themselves out of a job.
 
I have no sympathy for anyone who supports a bloated, corrupt government.

President Trump promised to reduce the size of government.

The voters elected him to reduce the size of government. You can not reduce the size of government without reducing the number of employees.

The effect on services cannot be determined over a few weeks.
