bush's new best buddy, HUD chief Jackson


Alphonso Jackson, US Dept.of Housing & Urban Development

THIS MAN DOES NOT HAVE SYMPATHY FOR LOW-INCOME PEOPLE

-snip-
When responding to a question from one of the committee members, Mr. Jackson stated that he doesn’t talk about housing the poor because “being poor is a state of mind, not a condition.”

2. this guy is bad business
I've worked for 20 years managing a federal rental assistance program, having to deal with HUD regulations, and this guy has messed up the subsidy programs for low-income people to the point its barely operating.

and now I'm sure he'll be issuing MORE cut-backs to low-income people to pay for this fictitious 'homeownership' program in the hurricane-hit regions. the money will end up in the pockets of bush's business cronies.

AARRGGHH

3. It's completely ironic that Senator Landrieu's Dad was
HUD Secretary in the Carter Administration and a longtime Mayor of the Crescent City.

And now, when the Crescent City desperately needs help, they're stuck with the disgusting pig shit that is Alphonso Jackson.
