God Bless America!

I have come to realise that your posts are a reflection of you and they used to make me mad but now I feel kinda sorry for you. I bet you are either a very young man 14-16 or so or a older man that did not have a good father to set you straight. At the end of the day you have no respect and are full of anger and it shows in your posts. I feel sorry for whoever has to be around you and I am sure that as time goes on that will be less and less people.



I bet this post will get pulled but I hope you get to read it first. And it has nothing to do with wanting you to be a better person I just want you to feel like you make so many others feel day in and day out. I wish your parents had been better role models for you. And I feel sorry for any kids you have.

I have never been on welfare so I can't say for certain, but arn't they like unemployment? After so long if you havn't found a job you lose benefits?

It is is even more difficult for tent cities in a colder climate. Imagine living in a tent in the middle of a snow storm/blizzard? In many places, homeless shelters are filled to capicity. It is sad and getting worse. This is one reason I was against amnesty for illegals. With millions of people unemployed and companies hiring illegals for cheap wages, many citizens are falling through the cracks.

Whats sad is all these people are looking for jobs and are too proud for a handout. Yet, at my place of employment we get applications all the time but the people are requesting like 30 bucks and hour for a minimum wage position.

I never understood why till a friend clued me in that to stay on certain benefits people have to show that they are applying and just not getting the jobs. Then it all made sence to me, they just want the assistance.

Its so sad when these people just want a job and cant get it while these other people I'm talking about are probably not living in a tent.

I hope someone gets in there with some fire and dogs to disperse the vermin immediately.

The first line i don't understand, maybe you like to explain.

The second line seems a little rude and without respect.
But would you care to illustrate why you think these people are dogs and vermin?

I agree with this post. The homeless should be put in camps but primarily transferred to a central location so they can be monitored. Most people hate Idaho, and for good reasons, so why not put them all there? With the middle class almost gone its only a matter of time before they try to rise up. When they do they will be crushed quite easily due to the overwhelming force of freedom.

To protect them might I say we should not only move them to Idaho but give them the chance for an education so they can become productive again like real americans who have jobs. Idaho could also serve as a place to train them in how to become more american, teaching them the skills needed to compete in the workplace.

The real shame with this entire post, is that people don't realize that many people, when the economy tanked, pretty much tried to get employment, and the jobs are not there, or there are so many applicants for every job, that it is a hopeless situation. People who end up in a tent city right now, I would say did not think that they would end up there. I was raised with the belief that chairty starts at home and that it is a hard thing to swallow to ask for a handout, or assistence. Pride is what is killing people these days, cause the number of people who could qualify for the assistence are growing and more people are swallowing their pride to take that assistence. But that system is biased, most of the people you see are white males and there is only a limited amount of assistence they qualify for. When the economy tanked, it hit hard, and everyone. Most people probably made their monthly bills, and saved. But what do you do if you go through your savings? What do you tell the banks who are not willing to renegotiate on the mortagage on a house? And many large banks just sat on the money. So you have people who just tightened their belts, sold everything they had of value and moved into the tent cities. So now there is a problem as those tent cities are growing in size and the local governments have just as much of a responsiblity to protect those people as they do everyone else. And unfortunately people still live with pride and tend to go into a not in my back yard mentality. They would agree that there is a problem, but fail to realize that it takes one person to do the correct thing to help out. And the lack of compassion viewed on the responses here is also kind of disturbing, and I hope that if you are ever in that situation, you encounter people who are more compassionate than what was written here. These people who are down, are not without skills, just an outlet for those skills, and those assisting needs to realize that it is discouraging when you put in over 1000 applications for employment and get no where real quick.

Poor souls. My heart goes out to them. I hope they are able to find a way to navigate the changing times ahead. I don't think that our oil-powered economy is going to keep chugging along too much longer and more and more people will be forced into these types of situations. I am currently on unemployment and looking for a job, but I don't have any illusions about my chances of getting one before they pull the plug on extensions.

Hi,
I cannot see how anyone can say we are in a recession?
This is without a doubt a recession!
Why is our government allowing this to take place, knowing that they are the ones who contributed GREATLY to the current economic situation?
Homes are vacant, siting there, why can these people not be allowed to stay in their homes and/or shelters could be supplied by some of these large empty homes?
Things, other OPTIONS could be found to help, but NO, the government wants to buy up these foreclosed homes for pennies and make money later from all of these peoples misfortune.
It makes me ill.
What are we doing to our own citizens? to our own children?
People want to work, but there are NO jobs, downsizing and layoffs are happening constantly.
Anyone, ANYONE of us could be next!
This insanity has got to stop!
I went through a bad patch last year and held on by a thread! Barley making rent, thank goodness I have a caring and compassionate landlord. As I have heard that many others do too.
I am glad I am renting and sold my home years ago, when I had a bad feeling about how things were progressing.
I would recommend that you all take precautions!
If you do not have to own anything, get rid of it, if you can: ONLY use CASH and only buy what you REALLY need.
I have to say that this is a learning lesson, a wake up call to all of us; the government has been manipulating us since the 1950's, selling us, you need two cars, you need a house, you need a Plasma TV etc.., and we fell for it hook line and sinker and now, well, here we are!
Get rid of what you can, get out from under their control!

Sorry, I am ranting, this just drives me to the EDGE!

Is the global economy getting close to hyperinflation?
