Reply #103: I finally had the chance to sit down and actually read this.

Really busy day trying to line up temp work for the summer. Not fun:(

We've discussed this before. It's not right that this is happening here in the US. This isn't a "progressive/liberal" or a "conservative" or what have you issue. This is a human rights issue that transcends all labels.

A friend just found out she's going to lose her trailer. The recession hit her hard and she lost her job. Now she's working for very low wages as a CNA when she once worked as a counselor. The trailer she bought is now far too expensive for her to keep paying for and she's losing it. What makes this really sad is her six year old asked her (and I quote) "Why do they have all these empty houses with no one in them when there are people who need them?"

What do you tell a six year old child when she asks that question? No one knew the answer.
