the oil things causeing the gas problems which is causeing many to go with out,is just so far out of hand.fixed income people get less help.seniors programs to get to doctors and get food brought to them and all that is needed keep getting less help.when times are hard,it's the poor ones programs that get cut then run out of funds.transportion funds to get people to need be places are suffering.lack of drivers due to the costs of gas.50 cents a mile is not worth somes time.so more go without.homeless become more,then are forgotten about,as they are nothing.charities are strapped for funds.even smaller towns have nothing to offer.illness go untreated for many.even many working can no longer have what is needed.some no longer have cars they can sleep in,or drive,there income just couldn't keep up.nothing against young people,but many young single women get on welfare programs,get housing,continue to sleep with differnt men ,get pregant by differnt men,and get well taken care by gov.woops.
our usa is becomming a mess.more are becomming homeless.shoved aside and forgotten about.causeing them many serious problems and society as a whole.why has rents beem allowed to go so high?and the costs of things to let people become homeless by no fault of their own.till one gets to that point of homless,we have no clue what it does.our country is becomming so divided.ones with money,ones without.and it will be our biggest down fall,adding the greed of many.like most things the government puts things off.and covers up many things.then big problems come up.then we finally get told stuff.then the people are expected to do what?so many feel so bad for all the poor ones,but more are becoming poor and finding out,getting real help is not there.to much red tape and too many not having answers.smaller communities have not enough to help many.bigger towns are getting less.what has this world come to.never thought the usa could treat it's own so bad.and more people come here?
is not there a national red cross,that helps out with such problems.or is each state on their own only?homeless are everywhere.more become so as times get harder.many die on the streets and nothing is said about it.many other things happen to them that is not talked about.so the real problems don't get taken care of.many try to help them,but funds are being cut,so help is not recieved.same with food banks,less donnations,less help given.our gov leaves up to charities to take care of problems.as mich gets worse jenn needs to ask for federal help.which she is failing to do.but could.but that may be saying she's not doing such a good job of taking care of mich.many programs were passed on to each county.counties going broke.she claims a big hole in the up comming budget.we are our our own.what would happen if mich was getting ripped apart by tornadoes.what help would people get.this state was not ready for hard times,gas prices and it just gets worse.some one needs to help mich.
some homeless work.they take any job.but still go without housing.what has the usa became.rents have went up,as well as many other costs.the oil thing is causing many to suffer.prices of everything has gone up.rather it is to get in on the action,to just make high profits,or because of need be,people are going without.pretty bad when the red cross goes broke.lack of people being able to give as they no longer have the money to do so.since oil companies are making billions in profits,having more money than they can ever spend.they need to be doing some donnating.all the empty homes that can't sell?what good are they when so many are homeless.our society has gotten very mixed up.all over the usa more become homeless.what does our governments want to do about this?sounds like the usa is becomming a 3rd world country.the gov is worried only about themselves,not the people.
