From what I can gather it has existed on sci.physics in the past under a different alias, but it wont say which one that was.

That would seem to suggest their previous ID was an embarassment. Not that this one is much better of course. -- Thermodynamics claims another crown! http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/heacon.html -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

The point under discussion is that they get to live in subsidized housing. So where's the incentive for people that poor to work hard, save money, and buy a house of their own? The starting off point which led to this little excusrion is that for most people saving money and buying a house takes a certain mindset. The Marxist-socialist opposition has held that minimum wage earners can never hope, under any circumstances, to be able to acquire enough money for a down payment. That Marxist-socialist viewpoint has been blown to hell in this thread. So why is it that public assistance homes are so hard to come by in the workers utopia called the UK? Do you have a plethora of poor with insufficient dunding to look after them? I wonder if you have anything like our section 502 loans there in the UK? "Eligibility Requirements: Applicant family must: * Have an acceptable credit history * Have an adequate and dependable source of income not exceeding 80% of the county median income * Have repayment capacity to service any existing obligations and the home loan request * Be without adequate housing * Be a citizen or non-citizen admitted to the United State of America for permanent residence or on indefinite parole * Have the ability to personally occupy the home on a permanent basis * Be located in a community with a population of 10,000 or less (selected communities with a population between 10,000 - 20,000 are also eligible)" "Fund Availability and Maximum Amounts: Funding is based upon an annual appropriation. Loans may be made for up to 100% of the appraised value. The Rural Development loan or portion of the loan may be subsidized based on financial need in order to show repayment capacity." http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/id/502.htm BTW, the interest rate can be as low as 1% APR if that sort of subsidy appears to be in order. Offhand it looks like the USA does better than the UK for our minimum wage earners who are intent on advancing out of "poverty." It looks like if they move out of major metroploitan areas and apply their proverbial nose to the stone to get ahead, they have a good chance of achieving what has come to be called "The great American dream" easily enough. |
