HUD could build 2,000,000 homes, but what they actually do is grant
tons of money to sleazy developers for dubious projects that start
to decay the day before they're occupied and are foreclosed at great
cost to the government when said developer flees to Costa Rica after
lining the pockets of certain Congressmen. Meanwhile the box camera
in space groupies are trying to kill NASA and US access to space.
