Under the broad banner of “health,” the federal government not only is telling Americans what to eat, it’s also telling us to make our homes safer.
This week, the Obama administration released a “bold new vision for addressing the nation’s health and economic burdens caused by preventable hazards associated with the home.”
The project has a name: “Advancing Healthy Housing: A Strategy for Action.”
“People in the United States spend about 70% of their time in a home,” the announcement said.
“Currently, millions of U.S. homes have moderate to severe physical housing problems, including dilapidated structure; roofing problems; heating, plumbing, and electrical deficiencies; water leaks and intrusion; pests; damaged paint; and high radon gas levels. These conditions are associated with a wide range of health issues, including unintentional injuries, respiratory illnesses like asthma and radon-induced lung cancer, lead poisoning, result in lost school days for children, as well as lost productivity in the labor force.”
According to the Obama administration, the health and economic burdens from preventable hazards associated with both subsidized and privately owned homes cost billions of dollars.
The new strategy “unifies” federal efforts to advance healthy housing — “demonstrating the connection between housing conditions and residents’ health.”

Are you kidding me? This is nothing but an excuse to gain entry into your house to inspect that it conforms with the Safe Housing Regulations, what happens if your house fails the inspection? How much are YOU going to have to pay, and how long are YOU going to have to come up with that cash? If you cannot comply, how long will you be incarcerated, and fined? More Orwellian double-speak manure, the underlying message is the SAME as green police. When are the rest of you gonna realize that Obama does not care one iota for any American life, happiness, or well-being, and, anything he says that claims he does, has sinister nefarious and deeply disturbing intentions hidden within.
Now that I think about it, it sounds a LOT like he is about to try to impliment part of the Agenda 21 crap on us…
