We should not allow others to pit us against one another with faulty dilemmas that claim we must choose between ideals of reliance, charity, responsibility and sympathy.

LOL! Too true.
I went and am still going through something similar.

You are so right in this comment. We always use to say
“there but for the GRACE OF GOD go I” when seeing someone in difficulty. Life can throw some pretty hard curves at you no matter how much you think you have prepared and planned. I believe I am called by Christ to be humble, thankful and charitable.
If food prices keep rising we will se a whole lot more of us needing help.
We are a lot like Megan.Why should we be charitable to anyone who looked down upon us because we didn’t buy the flashy car or the latest doodad?They were not being misled they were stupid and thought times would always be good.Now they are not and they have to live in the mess they made.
You apparently missed out on the 100% of "expert" financial advice programs and government press releases that insisted housing values would never go down. You apparently did not notice that national bankruptcy laws were made super-strict just prior to the housing crash.
I see nice and not so nice houses for sale here abouts. Family farms, too. And land/acreage. Houses stand empty at a rate of about 10%.
Bad time to sell. Tough time to hold.
“Also, we may be in an economic meltdown but that hasn’t slowed the federal government down. They are still bringing in new black, hispanic and muslim immigrants and many are getting placed in subdivision rentals on the taxpayers tab.
These people are all living on the taxpayers backs and living in better housing than many hard working taxpayers can afford for themselves.”
I have seen this with my own eyes and can testify to the truth of it.
No I did not miss out on that,Since when is it a good idea to overlook good common sense in favor of “expert’s advice”? The saying a “fool and their money are soon departed” fits well here....I was for the bankruptcy law changes it was time that those who has no sense be made to pay for their mistakes.
I guess 0 did have hope and change...he was hopeful that people wouldn’t listen to his speeches... and his changes were for the worse!!
