This is not meant as a pro any candidate comment.

Most of us that are not surfers here are successful individuals that made a business out of nothing or work at a business that was made out of nothing less then 12 years ago. We are shining examples of what is right in America and proof that with determination and hard work nobody has to be poor.

Based on that how do any of you think hand outs are good? poor people are poor because they are either dumb, lazy, or both. I don't want to hear about how someone may be handicapped look at some individuals in this industry that made it past those hurdles or at people like hawking.

I will go on to add that everyone runs into bad luck patches and programs like unemployment are great to let you get back on your feet. That being said any program that empowers the poor to reach above there pay scale or ability to manage is a huge mistake. If you let someone try to pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today they are going to simply need to borrow again. Credit is great in the hands of people that earned it but most programs geared to helping poor communities like the housing acts discussed are destined to blow up cause when you got nothing to lose you don't care.
