I was asked today "What did Trump do to you?. My reply was he made it unaffordable for me to get a job.
Now, I ask you does that sound like something an American President who touts job creation would do? The answer my friend is not blowing in the wind, but YES!
Thanks to the HUD Secretary Ben Carson and his rules to take more than 30% of personal income, and forcing people to take jobs that actually end up costing them money because the rent went p due to the increase in income. If you can not work the whole 20 or 40 hours of that job, it does not matter because you will be forced to pay out on those hours you could not work, but HUD thinks you can.
It does not matter if you work full-time or part-time, it will cost you money in the long run, the money you won't have even if you go to work.
If I were to work my usual seasonal, part-time job, which is supposed to be 20 hours, but due to a herniated disk, fibromyalgia and some other stuff, I am not capable physically to always work 20 hours. I have tried my best, laying on the floor, standing up at my desk and still dialing that phone. I still have to pay out on those hours I did not work the 30%. If I work 14 hours, I payout for 20, if I can only work 9 hours that week, I payout on 20 hours.
All income is figured as if you will work the entire year. If you only work six months out of the year, they average your gross income for 12 months and you pay 30% of that you don't even have to work the hours, but you will be required to pay for them. It costs me $300 a month out of my fixed income to work that 20 hour a week job, plus everything but $20 a month from that job to pay the increase.
I don't mind paying my fair share, but that is just it. It needs to be fair. If I am going to pay out over $500 a month for rent, then I better be able to wash my clothes in clean water and not sewage water backing up into the washer. I should be able to open and close my front door without having to lift it up into and out of the casing, causing damage to my rotator cuff.
HUD does not enforce their own rules, Montana State HUD inspectors overlook issues because there is no low-income housing, Montana slum lords continue to let perfectly good buildings (if taken care of) to rot down around tenants ears because no one is holding them accountable.
What good are city codes when no one enforces them when businessmen pass off these public housing buildings three months before HUD tells them to start repairs so they don't have to repair them and the next businessman in the ladder can milk the rentals for a while until he has to pass it off before being required to make repairs?
As I type this, there is a cracked sewer line under my apartment. When the furnace kicks on and the temperature is just right, I think I am standing by the outhouse on a hot summer day. Fond memories, I think not!
They tell me if you can't afford it don't do it. Well someone should tell the slumlord the same thing or make him fix his buildings.
Trump made it impossible for me to get work, and have enough money after paying all the bills and rent left over to eat, buy a tank of gas or even buy new underwear. What did Trump do to me?
