Hunger woes 'persistent'; U.S. mayors see rising need for food, housing

Open space laws and compliance with ridiculously excessive envionmental regulations also make housing much more expensive than it needs to be. Blame the left. They have created the problem.
is a doomed society.
I have another solution, how about stopping the flow of foreign unskilled labor that is flooding into the country and depressing wages while also using the very resources that are in short supply. As mentioned in the article is "of more people finding themselves underemployed." Wages are determined by supply and demand along with the availability of good jobs. This newspaper has long supported this flood of foreign labor which is used by cheap labor employers to continue to depress wages. When wages are allowed to rise by cutting off illegal immigration and allowing supply and demand to operate, many of the problems of the working poor will solve themselves. Amnesty will only make things worse.
There is nothing wrong with acquiring wealth. There is something very wrong if a person fails to take a moment to be thankful for the blessings in their lives.
Christ had the choice to be surrounded by wealth. He healed the sick and comforted the poor.
Nowadays the liberal media has convinced the so called poor that they are entitled to a free handout from the rich American government, because the rich aren't taxed enough, and need to provide for them.
This is totally bogus since the "rich" pay at least 50 percent of their money in taxes and the "poor" get tax credits, free food, free housing, and free medical care. The lucky "rich" get to pay their own way plus everyone else. And the poor continue to make bad choices and expect to never suffer the consequences. "Sure I dropped out of high school and had three kids out of wedlock, but I'm entitled..."
There's got to be a better way of taking care of the truly needy and letting everyone else earn their way.
It's a karma thing.
Feel sorrow for these people instead of becoming angry at them. (For they know not what they do)
What a Christmas present!
Better get used to the poor and the homeless. It might even be YOU someday. And don't ever worry about the mega-wealthy. They'll just sell one of their yachts.
Depression II will be worse than the Depression I
More people today.
Feed the poor, the innocent, the hard working!
Congrats on hitting every single myth and steretype in one fell swoop. Impressive. Before you believe the rhetoric, look up some research on who the poor really are. It would surprise you.
how true
If these people are as stupid as you and your compatriot believe, do you think they're watching and reading the liberal media?
A little compassion goes a long way.
