As someone who once tried to get *ON* public assistance, but was refused when I had no OTHER choice - ended up living in a damned treehouse in the sticks and STARVED ...For those who live on the "dole" (and tell me if I lie) ... the REALITY is usually a TEMPORARY bout of really bad chit ... what our "republican" masters CANNOT come to deal with is the possibility of "public assistance" for the MAJORITY of those who need it for a "spell" is a damned LOAN ... OH, how the right wingers could LOVE the concept as it COULD be real ... but so stuck in their sterotypes, could never fathom it. :( *MY OWN* situation was I was flat broke, out of work, had gotten over being "strung out" but just didn't have the most basic of need to rejoint he living .. .namely, didn't have a SUIT for an interview - went to the "dole", wanted to "borrow a suit" long enough to go back, a little bit of cash for "car fare" ... that's all it would have taken ... a *LOAN*, a *SUIT* and a few weeks/months to PAY IT BACK. Feel for ya bro ... not many really understand beyond the sterotypes. :( Folks wonder why so many loved Clinton ... for the FIRST time ... a CHANCE. And a GOOD one. :) |
