United States Heading towards a Depression?

Growing homelessness in America

mia, can your posts be any more ridiculous than they already are?

 

Just when I thought this kid hung himself on a live internet broadcast on Facebook, he returns.

Something tells me the later would be more gratifying for all of us, rather than to have to endure more useless drivel and meaningless post padding chatter.

Have a Merry Christmas young Julian.

 

I also wish you a Merry Christmas, short line up and plenty of food in your local soup kitchen.

 

There certainly will be thanks to the wealth of the many local business owners, myself included and the great organizations I belong to and represent. We've purchased and given out in the high 5 figures this year. Recently I helped give out over 100 Turkeys and all the fixens for Thanksgiving. We also just finished purchasing clothes and toys for needy families and kids to the tune of over 100 families in our community.

Would it really hurt you to give a little of yourself for once rather than leeching off of mommy?

 

LOL. and pigs fly too.

It is funny when a guy who was praising Bush for giving him welfare checks that helped him to buy his trailer is pretending to be a big businessman. Did you forget that your old posts are still in this forum?

Didn´t you in your previous post state that there are no poor people in USA, so where these needy families come from?

 

Maybe you should read some of those posts. You might actually learn something for a change.

No. Once again, try reading the post

What I said was that Poor in America is not the typical definition of "poor". And I said, generally, and not all. I understand that English is not your first language, so I completely get why you might be confused.

In the future, you might try using that translator that Breezey is using when you get stuck.

 

I infact do remember you boasting that there are no poor in US and the children of "categorized poor" own xbox and 40" LCD's. They can surely afford a turkey..specially with the foodstamps you were boasting about too.

 

I have better things to do with my time than learning how to fill wlefare forms from your posts. I am sure it is good money for you but it doesn´t pay for my time, so thank but no thanks.

 

I know. You were just as confused as Gwonder. I remember having that discussion with you and I really thought it sunk in the first time. Apparently not.

I think we even discussed things like salaries of the typical poverty level here in the US vs what someone in India would expect to make. I also remember how shocked you were to find that people in the US were complaining about, or could not live on these dollar amounts.

Like I told you then, and have tried to explain to Gkid; the poor in America are not the same "poor" you see in other countries, like Darfur, or Somalia as a for instance. There are people in the US that live below the poverty line yet never go hungry, have a place to live, decent clothes and internet, cable, cell phones, etc.

In fact, the US has such a screwed up system of welfare that it disincentivizes the poor so they stay poor. They do this so that they remain dependent on a system that keeps them just below a certain level so they can receive tax money they never pay in, as well as other benefits. The reason for this dependency is to keep them voting for one party; the one that keeps them like this.

Doubtful.

Gworld, I'm often really interested to know why it is you, like democrats in our country continually consider lower taxes "welfare". I'm fairly confident I probably pay more in taxes a year than you will make in your lifetime. I don't have an issue with taxes. I have an issue with spending. If our government would stop spending more than they make, they would not have to steal more money from those of us that create it. And if democrats in this country would stop encouraging people not to work, we'd have no debt either.

 

You receive welfare checks and pay taxes. Your post was about receiving welfare checks and not paying taxes. Nice try but you only fool yourself if you think you are fooling anyone. I don´t know why do you complain about taxes when with your income probably you will not even reach the minimum level of income necessary for paying taxes.

It is so stupid of you to claim that people in USA are not homeless or hungry when there are so many studies by government and private organization that show the number of homeless people including young children.

 

Great post. Someone from the past said the same thing :

"Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic."

You're just mad because I refused your application. Seriously, it had nothing to do with your work experience or criminal background, or sex crimes. We're an equal opportunity employer. You simply were not qualified and I was not about to help you get a work visa when you were not going to be able to complete simple tasks like retrieving coffee or taking out the trash.

Beyond that, my building is located near a school. As I understand it, you were not allowed within 300 yards of a school.

Er, that's not at all what I said. Maybe glasses would help? They have Wal-marts in Canada? Maybe a Costco Optical Center? If you'd like I'd even pay for the exam.

 

I have met many people where I am now that would consider themselves rich to receive the amount of money and help that the "poor" in the USA receive.


I took this photo - it shows a little of what these people have as far as housing.

 

The political opportunism of the Republican leadership against the START treaty and their defeat is a fitting conclusion to the 111th Congress and perhaps a prelude for sound governance prevailing over extremist and polarized zealots.

The 111th Congress will be marked as one of the most productive in the nations history. The 112th, not by chance but by legislative accomplishments will have the opportunity to build for the future from a position of strength than the perilous beginnings of the 111th that was confronted by economic catastrophe, an unjustified, unfunded Iraqi war and an Afghanistan left lingering by the past Administration without plans for resolution.

 

Post as much as BS as you like but nobody is buying it. Don´t forget anyone can search your past posts and see how you were thanking Bush for giving such fat welfare checks that you could buy your trailer. You are making yourself a laughing stock as usual just leave it.

 

On the other side of this island in Haiti they are eating dirt and experiencing a big bout of Cholera. Thanks for the photo.

 

So "poor" in US can afford, internet, cell phone, xbox etc but not a turkey?

 

You have to do something to keep yourself busy when you're not working.

Your blog is a testament to the good things that can come out of religion.

 

Look at the age of the thread. When it started, things were not bleak like they are now. Amazing what a difference a few years make. Feel free to quote anything I've said. Maybe if you quote it, you'll actually read it. Then you'll learn a thing or too. You're welcome in advance for the free pearls of wisdom.

 

That's all one sentence?

I quite agree!
