Crystal here with another sprain for your brain. I don't understand why a person who has a job and who wants to do for themselves can't get any assistance. However a person with no job,no ambition and a bunch of kids can get all the help they need. I am a single Mom. Things being the way they are I am struggling to make ends meet, so I went to the state to see if I could get some kind of assistance and I was told that since I have a job I make too much money and i don't qualify for anything. I don't get it how can I not qualify for anything. There was a girl there with about 5 kids and I over heard her interview and she was told she qualifies for all programs they offer. This makes no sense to me. Do you think this is fair?

No I think its the pits you are working and trying to make ends meet and nine times out of ten some illegal alien woman with six kids can get all the perks that are offered. this does not make a whole lot of sense to me at all. No it is certainly most unfair wish I could do something about it

Hummmmm...I didn't look at that perspective. You have a point Crystal. I guess it's just natural for people to help the less fortunate ones, not asking if they have ambition or not - people just help when they learned a person is jobless and has kids to feed.

Ok but what about us hard working folks who are going through tough times right now. What about us don't we deserve a helping hand? Just because I didn't lay up and have a bunch of kids and i have a job I can't get help. This makes no sense.
