"People think we get homeless because we're irresponsible, but it's hard finding jobs," says Brochu, 29, ... Nearly a quarter of Americans would be late on mortgages, rent or other bills if a single paycheck were delayed

""Less than a year ago, Kimberly Brochu was expecting a baby and living with her husband and four children in an apartment in Winslow, Maine. Then her husband, Allen, was laid off from his painting job. People think we get homeless because we're irresponsible, but it's hard finding jobs,'' says Brochu, 29""

It's irresponsible to have 5 kids and trying to live off of a painting job.

I know a guy who was very careful with his savings. He has no debt, he has no mortgage, he owns his car, and he kept enough savings to live off of them for a year and a half. He has been without work for over two years now. He's run out of all of his savings and is living with friends. I guess he's just another big loser?

That's OK. Soon enough GWB will get to be unemployed as well. All you Bushbots can rah-rah until the cows come home, but the fact is the economy stinks on ice. Didn't y'all learn anything from the '92 elections?
