Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson appears to have learned the art of political payback all too well from his hanging out with other BushCo Texas cronies. Stripping the Philadelphia Housing Authority of by $50 million in federal funds for not agreeing to what appears to be a request for a sweetheart political land transfer is about par for the Bush Administration’s political course.
As a result, Philadelphia housing director Carl R. Greene is suing Jackson for retaliating against Philadelphia.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
