Lack of Housing is not a Housing Problem

A: Why are you making such a big deal about destroying their houses? They weren’t much to begin with. And besides, they had very little stuff in them. You don’t see us destroying houses here do you?

B: No, here you throw people out of their houses.

A: We allow them to take as much stuff as they can carry or fit into their car.

B: Yeh, the car that they can’t afford gas for.

A: They can sit in them and eat the food that they get from the food stamps that we provide for them.

B: You’re so generous.

A: Yes, we are, aren’t we? Now run along and get back to calculating our profits. On the way out tell Pedro to throw another begger on the fire. It’s chilly in here and we must save on oil.
