Lux Interior, your post is a perfect example of why this side of the forum has gone downhill over the last year. You quoted me saying that some people are in dire need and then suggest that I'm saying we should just say screw everyone. You are just trying to inflame this conversation without actually adding anything to it.
Too many of us have been calling each other names, putting words in each other mouths and hurling insults rather than discussing the issues. We lambast the politicians for being partisan and then criticize each other because of our differing party views. How does this help?
I don't know how to keep people from taking unfair advantage of the situation. I do think we should help those legitimately in need. To that end I sit on the board for my local Consumer Credit Counseling Services organization. They provide pre-bankruptcy classes as well as budgeting classes to keep people out of bankruptcy.
