Yes, some people need help....The system is broken. Yes, some people need help. However, if you try to help yourself then you loose assistance. <br /><br />My neighbor is a good example. She is the mother of two kids and her husband passed away a few years back. She's working multiple jobs in order to support her family and a house payment and a car payment. She's even rented out a room in her house. She is doing everything to make ends meet, and thus is not eligible for assistance. <br /><br />Yet just down the street a house has been converted to a HUD rental. Parents are unmarried, mother has been arrested several times for drugs, is unemployed... and they seem to have a comfortable lifestyle. <br /><br />Again, our system is broken. The government won't help those that are willing to help themselves. Gladornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036666575371011307noreply@blogger.com
