I agree with you 100 percent. It is better to keep families together. Imagine how many families could be helped with just the money that is spent on vacations alone for “the 1st family”. If the car is safe and clean then it’s better than nothing. A Rv or camper is not much different than a mobile home. I think a car would be a lot better than a tent for tons of reasons and I didn’t think it’s illegal to live in one. The money spent on tearing families apart, paying foster parents. …could be used to help the family live in a home of some sort. I don’t know how the powers that be ever got their jobs or how they keep them because they sure don’t use common sense or spend money wisely.

I applaud you for giving food items to others in need. However, there are other needs that people need money for. Power, water, gas to get to work, shoes, toiletries and the list goes on. If you give someone cash and they spend it on beer then shame on them. If they buy a candy bar once in a while I don’t have a problem with that especially if it’s a well deserved treat for a child that already has to do without so much. Do you offer transportation to and from the nearest food banks etc? Do you offer to keep the children if there are any entertained for a while so the parents can look for a job or wait for hours at the food bank? Every little bit helps when you are in need. I have been there because of sickness and having a disabled child. By the grace of God my Family has been blessed after hitting rock bottom and losing everything not once but three times. It was not because of being lazy or wasting our resources. My husband and I both have worked all of our lives. He is a disabled veteran that is still working a full time job. I am disabled stemming from a accident when working in law enforcement and we raised one disabled child and have another disabled child that will be with us until we pass away, God willing and the Creek don’t rise. Again, I applaud you for giving food to folks. Just keep in mind when you are giving food to others that beans and cereal are good but a person can’t survive on that alone. Buy what you eat and what you would want if you were ever in need. It makes people feel good to donate a few food items once in a while doesn’t it. There’s so much more that folks can do to help others in need. If you think about it and put yourself in the other persons shoes, show kindness, don’t assume that you or anyone else is any better than the less fortunate…..don’t judge people, only God has the right to judge anyone. Give what you can to include money when someone is in need. I assure you that most people in need will not spend money on beer, drugs etc. Most people that are down on their luck can make a penny squeak and they spend wisely. What goes around comes around. If giving food is all that you can do then it’s great of you to give it. If you have money to spare or you blow money, if you live a comfortable life and you know of someone in need but you don’t do everything that you can to help them, I don’t know how you can enjoy anything or how you sleep at night. Unless you are part of the one percent that is insanely rich, think about how easy it would be for you to be the less fortunate and how you would want people to help you and give you enough credit to know whether to buy beer, a candy bar. …but for the Grace of God, there too go I.

So, the Greeks are leaving their children on the streets? An old story and one that is with us today if we understood it. The German story of Hansel and Gretel, that we take to be a fairy tale, was actually written to tell the story of the famine in Europe during that period of history. It was written as a fairy tale for political purposes, as an attempt to silence free speech to avoid serious charges of inciting the public, or something to that effect. Things that Obama wants to do now if he get’s a 2nd term.

This is all coming to an end, soon. Don’t worry people, it won’t be long now before the books are closed and Jesus finally comes back! Don’t give up!
And thanks to whoever writes these articles, it’s good to know what’s going on! 😀

Your comment is absolutely ridiculous.
Our global financial system is controlled by the riches and powerful yet corrupted corporations . . . . .I don´t care what you are going to call this . . .Nazi, Communist, Socialist . . .whatever. 2/3 of the global wealth is being controlled by the riches. There is no shortage of money in this world but distribution of money. Furthermore, the GREED of those who want to suck the hell out of lives more and more . . . .more for themselves and less for you must be stopped. No matter which way you are going to slice this, it will be a lot of casualties or war perhaps and things will start to fall apart . . .It won´t be an easy solution and global uprising is necessary . . .Major global reform is necessary. People are sick and tired of the whole systems everywhere . . .Bye the way, Your comment was totally ridiculous about Socialist minded people . . .There is no perfect Governments and all are corrupted by the riches….So whatever is about to come, we will have no control anymore . . .So Fasten your seat belt for a wild and bumpy rides . . .

I am noticing no one seems to care either. They just do not want to know. Being poor today means living an odd existence of not even being able to talk about the realities of your life. You try to warn them about what is really going on and you get a blank face. I think that is what makes this Depression worse the first, now you are expected to suspend your own reality. Just look at our media see any working class voices on there or poor people? We are invisible to the elite and it’s that way on purpose. There’s no shows like Laverne and Shirley with working class characters, everyone’s rich on TV. I try to warn people and 99% just do not want to know. –The Squawker
