I don't know much about Section 8. I do know that in larger cities, a person working in any number of minimum wage jobs cannot pay for rent and food. The notion of subsidizing that kind of person's rent doesn't trouble me much.

Just what does the Section 8 program cost? Anyone have the numbers?

Okay, got it. $18 billion, or approximately $180 per taxpayer. A little over 20% of what we're spending per year on Iraq.
