states fill the gap...if they want

I get it. But why stop here. Why not end subsidies for "everything" ?

President Trump has repeatedly promised to "make America affordable again." But for those Americans most in need, his administration's latest budget plan would dramatically shrink the federal rental aid that helps keep millions of people housed.

In its request for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the White House called the current system of federal rental assistance "dysfunctional" and proposed essentially ending Section 8 and other housing voucher programs. Its plan calls for cutting rental aid by about 40% and sending that money to states "to design their own rental assistance programs based on their unique needs and preferences."

Subsidies create false markets and drive inflation.
Correct....end them all.

Gee, I guess if we hadn’t let 14,000,000 poor folks in while experiencing a housing shortage, rentals would be WAY more affordable to begin with.

If states want to pay the rent of illegals, let them pony up the money.
