It's ironic that the same people that voted to get rid of the welfare and assistance programs got their wish, now they're the ones who need it. LOL karma, don't you just love it.
This is what people get for acting like sheep and not thinking for themselves.
It's also sad that so many DHS offices across the country will be telling so many people no, no, no, and no again. Even the pennyless suffer and will be lucky to get food stamps. Whole families are losing their homes and livelihoods and financially suffering. People who were once middle and upper middle class finding themselves looking for government assistance, the same type of circumstances they used to frown on. Now they see that it can happen to anyone. I hope that people will learn this lesson that in times of properity also prepare for times of struggle. It's pathetic that one has to have an eviction notice to get help to find somewhere to stay. The best that DHS does is give a bunch of numbers to where overwhelmed shelters are along with their overwhemled foodbanks. Now you have Bush and company who screwed their own people over up there in the govt with their cushy jobs callous in their comfort while they financially hurt those at home and send peoples families to Iraq to lose their lives for their financial gain. Almost ONE trillion dollars has been spent in Iraq to put us in to deficit. Imagine investing all that money into the infrastructure, livlihood, and education of American citizens. If you're gonna go into debt for something let everyone enjoy the return, not just an elite few. People need to wake up. Again I repeat almost a trillion dollars has gone to Iraq. If that were invested in education alone, the entire country would be educated and well trained, but it seems alot of times we're too stupid to look at the numbers. Numbers don't lie.

We hear GDP all of the time. Americans have bought cars for decades that got added to GDP. But cars wear out and end up on the junk heap. When do you hear economist talk about the depreciation of all of those cars? If the cars were deliberately not made to last as long as they could have then how would anyone know? don't ask the economists they are technological idiots.
um
