Via KUHF and Judicial Watch which illustrates the extent the permanent political incumbency class is willing to pick and choose the winners & losers for political preservation. Single mothers in the Houston Housing Authority rental voucher probably lack disposable income to make campaign contributions, which explains why the HHA chose to cut $7 million from Houston rent subsidies:

“The Houston Housing Authority is cutting $7 million from its rental voucher program. The           reason is the federal budget sequestration. Up to 10,000 local families could be affected.”

A single mother living in Stafford, Texas was interviewed for the article.

“A sixteen year old boy having to share a room with his mother? Or either me in the living room                or him in the living room, uh..I mean, I’m doing the best I can, you know.”

The mother interviewed is trying to start her own catering business and those who despise fledgling entrepreneurs trying to get off welfare programs need to set an example of other moms who make similar attempts.

Sequestration, my a${997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986}.

Yet there’s still $878 million dollars to continue funding a TSA behavioral program designed to spot terrorists that, well….can’t spot terrorists. According to a recent Department of Homeland Insecurity Inspector General report:

“..$878 million dollars later the TSA cannot ensure that its behavior detection program is cost-    effective or that it even works…”

If the SPOT program doesn’t work, why isn’t the TSA budget for this program being reduced through  sequestration?

Because my dear friends, the TSA is represented by a union; specifically the American Federation of Government Employees union. And the AFGE PAC is a source of campaign contributions for both Republicans and Democrats who are friendly to federal employees.

Sequestration remains a phony crisis to convince taxpayers nothing can be done about Washington & even local spending.
