After
twenty four years of a relentless drive for centralized government
power through Clinton, Bush and Obama, finally there is a chance to roll
back some of the destruction to our Republic. Donald Trump has an
historic opportunity to fulfill his promise to “drain the swamp,”
meaning getting rid of the corruption, the power grabs, and the
disregard for Constitutional law.
It’s
vital to understand that federal agencies are basically operating
without oversight, free to create thousands of rules and regulations
that become the force of law. These rules come complete with threats of
legal action and intimidation. Much of this enforcement is done behind
the scenes, away from the public eye. But the result can destroy
property, business, and lives.
To
take effective action against this situation and fulfill on his
promise, President Trumps must set a very specific priority for federal
policy:
1. Assure the complete protection of private property rights for every American.
2. Immediately
begin the process of reigning in the power, over reach, and illegal
policies of every federal agency. One of the worst offenders of federal
overreach and intimidation is fully represented in the day to day
operations of the agency for Housing and Urban Development (HUD.)
HUD
pretends to be the agency that represents low income citizens to assure
they have “fair housing” choices and are protected from discrimination.
In reality HUD’s policies do massive damage to the poor and steal away
their ability to improve their station. After years of HUD intervention
in development policy, the net result is more poor, bigger ghettos and
less hope of improvement.
If
President Trump intends to end poverty and help rebuild American wealth
and restore the hopes and dreams of the poor and middle class, then
private property ownership is the single most effective way to achieve
it. Welfare and government programs will not do it. The poor simply have
no avenue available to build personal wealth. All that is provided to
them is a routine government handout which assures lifelong servitude to
the government.
Right
now HUD is enforcing a program called Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing (AFFH) to destroy the property rights and property values of the
middle class in communities across the nation. In the campaign
candidate Trump promised to end this program. Now he must do it!
HUD
is using the program for pure social engineering to change the very
culture of the nation, and destroy the concept of property ownership. In
the process, AFFH is using law suits and intimidation to destroy the
founder’s concept of local rule in communities by taking away their
freedom of self determination and development.
Now
Trump has appointed Dr. Ben Carson as the new HUD Secretary. Many say
he’s not qualified to run such a massive agency. Does he understand the
problems he faces with this agency’s unrelenting assault on property
rights and local home rule? What must he do to reign in this renegade
agency? Here are a few immediate steps Carson can take to stop this
assault on property owners and local communities, while actually helping
the poor.
First.
Stop the grants. HUD and other agencies dangle federal money in front
of local communities as a trap to force them to impose the HUD policies.
These grants come with specific strings attached that make the
communities spend more money and create more rules and regulations. The
end result is that local rule is compromised, property rights and values
are destroyed and cities are eventually transformed into politically
correct, environmentally propagandized stack and pack utopian
nightmares.
