"Where are all the 'love thy neighbor,' give to charity, bible thumpers now? Screaming "not my problem" and its "all your fault!""

What is it you are doing to help these people? Anything? Are you giving to charity? ANd how could the great Obama allow this to happen? Maybe he can invite them to one of his fund raisers and at least feed them. As to these people, they are in fact responsible for their plight. I was laid off over two years ago and because of actions I took, I am still in my house and have not had to make any life style changes. Unfortunately, far too many people do not take any action to prepare themselves for a life emergency. Perhaps you should contact the altar of the Government and ask them how it is they are allowing people to go homeless.

another example of the effects of this economy which we are, in large measure, tolerating in total silence. Thank God they received some help. Maybe some others can be helped as well, especially those with children.

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

God bless the Venables, and God bless the United States of America.

praying for this family & for all the other homeless people out there... may God watch over and protect them all!

Wait till $4 gas hits after saying NO to the pipeline and 50,000 jobs. getrealpeople

50000 jobs?!? First it was 6000 then 20000 now 50000?!? Get real people.... BTW all of those numbers are TEMPORARY construction jobs no matter which bit of hype you choose to believe.

I have had it with you self righteous creeps who think a homeless person just has to be either mentally ill, a substance abuser or a criminal. It is not about inability to spend wisely or lack of planning for the future. It is about not having enough money to start with. All people are not equal. We do not all have the same abilities or income. Apartment rent is sky high as is everything else we have to have to live and thrive. Everything but those pay checks.

Larky, where were they going to find water if they didn't buy it? Uh, no home = no faucets.

"Sounds like a typical egotistical,materialistic person there..."

WHERE do you see THAT? Uhavenomeds....

What's a "big degree" Rabiddog?
