While the Right is busy blaming Welfare Recipients for their loss

Families are losing their homes and children due to welfare time limits in a bad economy. Poor people see no difference in the way they are treated by either side. Some have lost all hope they live in rural areas of the Country with no transportation and no hope Food Stamps provide food but they don't provide shelter. I am damn sick and tired of the poorest of the poor being kicked and denigrated all the time. It is time to ask are we really our brother's keeper? We need to shame everyone who blames welfare for the economy welfare payments went down under President Obama because many were kicked off for good. My poor friends would like to know where all the goodies are they are supposedly taking? Why are they blamed yet again by the heartless soulless assholes, who don't want to pay an extra dime in taxes, for the shape our Country is in?

appears likely that they may be joining them.

I am hoping that one of the positive things that may come from this entire economic mess is that the holes in the safety nets will be repaired and more attention paid to those in need.
