New and Improved Socialism

Bush today called on the Senate to pass the “American Dream Downpayment Act,” his signature piece of housing welfare legislation. In her floor statement the bill, Katherine Harris said:

“As our nation continues to confront daunting threats both at home and abroad, we cannot neglect the most basic security of all, and that is a safe, clean, adequate place to live.”

The right to a clean place was a right traditionally ignored by the left. FDR’s four freedoms did not include the right to a clean place, and cleanliness is totality ignored in the Communist Manifesto. My colleague Daniel wonders if HUD will soon send out maids to ensure our right to a clean house.
