house Bill H.R. 360

Reauthorizing Affordable Housing Funding For Native American Familes

Argument in favor

This program is the main source of housing stability for many low-income Native Americans, and has put housing decisions back in the hands of tribal governments.

We tool their land. It is only fair that we do everything possible to help today's natives, no matter the cost to ourselves.

Argument opposed

While the re-authorization is important, this bill is projected to cost tribes $81 million in housing project funding this year alone by cutting carry-over funds.

Creating life long dependence comes from these never ending assistance programs. I'm all for helping someone up when they're down, but I'm not carrying them when they're fully capable of walking on their own two legs. There are huge swaths of American people who need to stand up and walk on their own two legs and SUPPORT THEMSELVES.

I believe that there should not be federal help for specific groups of people. We should help everyone equally. After all this is the land of the free, not for one group but for everyone. I would be called tons of names and threats would be made if I started a fondation for white people.

    I'm tired of "funding" everyone else. Who's "funding" the average working class American who gets up everyday and works their butt off to have something in life. Quite frankly, I'm tired!!!

    It shouldn't cost $81 million. Also, I don't like their idea of being their own tribe separated from the rest of the country. They are Americans that should integrate and join the modern world. And I'm saying this having my ancestors be Native American. Now in the modern day, this notion is ridiculous. Get with the program.

    Safeguarding the native American population is of paramount importance, these people faced the unconquerable struggle against the onslaught of the single most destructive force in human history, the European expansion. These people have experienced generations of being second rate citizens in their own land,and I feel that any legislation that aides their lives should be pushed through without opposition.

    Native Americans, although once a persecuted people, must assimilate into current American society. As such, they should be responsible for procuring employment and providing for themselves and their families.

    As with other entitlements, it breeds dependence. Since the native tribes are sovereign nations, if they wish to have housing welfare programs, let their leaders create and fund them via their highly lucrative casino (and various other) operations throughout the country. The U.S. Government is not in the housing business.
