It seems like the only way the government will do something is if half the population becomes homeless and we all just camp out on the streets. I at least can move in with my parents if I don't find something soon. So much for working my &%$ off in college to earn a degree with a 4.0 GPA and work 15 hour days for the past 20 years. We are going to see a lot of Golden Girl type living situations since all of us unemployed aren't contributing to social security. As long as our politicians get a paycheck, nothing will change.

Lies that people have brought into for centuries. Government is a poor place to look for job security. Young people would be wise to learn form what you've wrote here. Today there are fancy names such as 401k, Social Security, IRA etc. These are just old ideas with new names. The next aging generation will be complaining about the same thing. At 19 I was able to see through this nonsense. I don't think this stems from intelligence 0but rather- a sense of dependance. If we do not learn from history, we'll be forced to repeat it.

We lead very healthy lives and try and eat organic and not put chemicals in our bodies. So should I change my lifestyle because I know am on foodstamps, and force my child to eat processed food, so that I can fit the "white trash" criteria. I feel so sorry for people who pass judgement so quickly. Your life is sad, good luck with that :) My use of the government assistance is merely until I can get back on my feet, sorry for leading a healthy lifestyle while I am at it.

I was with my boyfriend, unemployed at the time, and things didn't work out. Luckily, I had a savings account, found the cheapest room to rent in Brooklyn from a family that was able to take me and my 15 month daughter in. I posted ads on Craigslist and it was difficult to find trust worthy people that are willing to give up their personal space for a crying baby. Luckily this family has a 4 month old and they understood and were sympathetic to my situation. I've had food stamps for 1 month now and I am blessed because I only had $360 dollars to my name, plus $480 of child support per month which is going to rent, if it wasn't for child support, me and my daughter would be homeless...and that is everyone's fear. I bought pomegrante juice the other day and felt so guilty, but then I thought, I need to stay healthy and not give in to junk food. Even though I have the card, I still look for the best deals and get my moneys worth. Every penny counts and so does mine and my daughter's health.

So, perhaps those with their stellar jobs, who think they have absolute job security, should go on living their lives thinking that nothing bad can happen. But then again, they probably know deep down inside them that they could lose that security at any moment.
