This program to do away with the homeless is the same plan that the FEDS have legislated to do away with 90% of the world’s population. AGENDA 21 signed by BUSH sr and made law by Clinton is the New World Order agenda to kill off 90% of the world’s population and imprison the rest. America is the model for the 178 nations who signed it and the plan has already been legislated by our past 7 presidents and is in full operation. America is over.

I’m sure it helped that both my parents and grandparents grew up poor (money wise) and knew how to “make do”. I also had years when I lived with very little money, but managed to survive. I don’t know how much this might help someone help someone, but I’ll share some basic info below on how we did this, for any of you interested.

We had a fairly large family (5 kids) by today’s standards but common then. We owned 10 acres of land, half kept in hay fields and well suited for either farming or grazing animals, in a place where you could
support your family on 10 acres if you needed to. My father’s father had a dairy and dad and the uncles knew how to raise and milk cows and take care of them, even though they didn’t keep any when I was growing up. When I was young my dad had honey bees and kept chickens and a garden and things like fruit trees and grape vines were used for landscaping.

We were taught to honor work, and all us us kids were expected to get a part time job at 16 and when we did we were charged 50% of our take home pay for “room and board”. We were also expected to save at least half of what was leftover after that. We were expected to leave home and support ourselves at 18.

My family didn’t have a lot of cash (dad was a firefighter), but did a lot of things to conserve money. My brothers were expected to learn how to fix their own cars, plumbing and things that broke (my dad’s specialty… seemed he could fix anything). My father didn’t approve of hunting but the boys were all taught to fish. We were all encouraged to learn to cook and garden, and as a girl I was encouraged to learn to sew, knit, etc. Lights were always shut off when someone left the room and not used if there was enough daylight for whatever you were doing. Heat was not turned on until it got really cold outside and us kids spent most of the time playing outdoors… so we were used to it. Radio and TV were never put on unless someone was actually listening or watching it.

We also did a lot of things like kept food in storage (large freezer and a big basement with shelving full of canned goods, always bought things like toilet paper in bulk). We bought most of our food in bulk like whole cases of canned goods an would stock up on things like day old bread at places my parents, aunt and uncles found where we would go on short trips annually to buy food that were “seconds” (but safe). And we always ate from what we stored. Candy and sweets only allowed a few times a year so there wouldn’t be big dental bills.

We also always checked the town dump first when there was something other than food that we needed, before buying it. No shame attached to dumpster diving here!

Entertainment was mostly activities that cost little or nothing or were educational… like playing outdoors, going on picnics or “mystery rides”, swimming in the local swim hole in the summer or ice skating and sledding on our pond and hills in the winter, reading books from the library, or a few times a year going to a museum.

In retrospect, I think it was a good way to grow up and did help prepare us to live with very limited cash flow. We all know how to be frugal. The knowledge of how to do things never leaves you and so main thing I would worry about if we have another depression would be more about health concerns or crime.
