Streit auf dem Rücken der Hartz-IV-Beziehenden

6. November 2009

Die Länder wehren sich gegen steigende Belastungen für die Kommunen durch die Unterkunftskosten bei Hartz IV. Dazu erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Katja Kipping:

Der ewige Streit zwischen den Kommunen und dem Bund über die Höhe der Kostenübernahme für Unterkunft und Heizung bei Hartz IV verschärft sich angesichts der bedrohlich leeren Kassen der Kommunen und wird letztlich auf dem Rücken der Hartz-IV-Beziehenden ausgefochten. Sollte der Bund nicht bereit sein, mehr Geld zur Verfügung zu stellen, werden die Kommunen die sogenannten Angemessenheitskriterien für die Anerkennung der Wohnkosten verschärfen. Die Hartz-IV-Beziehenden sind dann die Leidtragenden, weil ihnen die ausreichenden Mittel zur Bestreitung der Wohnkosten verwehrt werden. Sie müssen Zwangsumzüge hinnehmen oder das fehlende Geld für die Miete vom dürftigen Regelsatz abknapsen. DIE LINKE fordert die Übernahme der angemessenen Wohnkosten in Höhe der tatsächlichen Aufwendungen. Maßstab soll dabei der Mittelwert der ortsüblichen Vergleichsmiete sein.

Die Bundesregierung plant Pauschalierung der Hartz IV Unterkunftskosten

Neben den Sozialverbänden läuft nun auch der Bundesverband deutscher Wohnungs- und Immobilienunternehmen GdW Sturm gegen die Pläne der neuen Bundesregierung. Diese will die Unterkunftskosten in Zukunft für ALG II Bezieher pauschalieren. Der Pauschalbetrag soll zwar an regionale Besonderheiten angepasst werden, doch auf die individuelle Situation kann in diesem Zusammenhang nicht mehr eingegangen werden. Doch auch regional unterschiedlich Pauschalbeträge zu ermitteln wäre ein immenser bürokratischer Aufwand, der auch mit Kosten verbunden ist. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob eine Übernahme der tatsächlichen Kosten, wie es bislang gängige Praxis ist, nicht mit weniger bürokratischem und finanziellem Aufwand verbunden wäre. Lesen Sie weiter:

A major federal appeals court ruling pretty much sums up what the U.S. government’s pro-empire and pro-interventionist foreign policy has done to our nation. The decision involves the case of Maher Arar, a man who holds dual citizenship with Canada and Syria. He was returning from vacation to Canada and made the fateful decision to simply change planes at JFK Airport in New York. CIA officials intercepted him and prevented him from boarding his next flight and proceeding on his way. In a word, they kidnapped him...

The hopes and prospects for peace aren’t well aligned — not even close. The task is to bring them nearer. Presumably that was the intent of the Nobel Peace Prize committee in choosing President Barack Obama. The prize ’seemed a kind of prayer and encouragement by the Nobel committee for future endeavor and more consensual American leadership,’ Steven Erlanger and Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote in The New York Times. The nature of the Bush-Obama transition bears directly on the likelihood that the prayers and encouragement might lead to progress...

Fannie Mae is asking for an additional $15 billion in government aid after posting another big loss in the third quarter as the taxpayer bill from the housing market bust keeps rising. The government-controlled company continued to see a dramatic surge of borrowers fall behind as the unemployment rate climbs. At the end of last month, about 4.7% of Fannie Mae’s borrowers had missed at least three payments. That’s nearly triple last year’s level...

North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces said today they were investigating reports that nine civilians were killed in a rocket strike aimed at insurgents in the volatile southern Afghan province of Helmand. The incident came despite new efforts by international forces to avoid civilian casualties and make the Afghan population feel safe. Dozens of angry villagers carried the bodies today through the streets of the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, before they were dispersed by police firing guns in the air, witnesses said...

Melvin A. Goodman, Truthout: "President Barack Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, will go down in history as one of America's worst presidents, squandering diplomatic, international and economic assets that were bequeathed to him. As a result of the perfidy of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, Obama inherited a great deal of low-hanging foreign policy fruit that he has been slow and even hesitant to pick."

Dodd’s reform plan takes aim at the Fed

Washington Post

11/11/09

The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping regulatory reform bill that would strip the Federal Reserve of nearly all of its power to oversee banks, setting up a possible clash with the Obama administration, which has argued for the central bank to play a pivotal role in addressing financial threats. The legislation promoted by Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) would impose the most fundamental change in the Fed’s mission since the Great Depression, leaving it responsible for little besides setting monetary policy. Senior administration officials and Fed leaders, by contrast, have urged that the central bank retain its power to oversee large and complex financial firms whose collapse could endanger the global system...
