I like you, Lynna.
No one from California, outside of those trapped in LA, understands the value of seventy dollars, was my impression while there. Of course, in California, dogs are more important than people. It is a different country, I think.
Huh! what? only those people who live or trapped in LA understands the value of seventy dollars? others in that California state don't understand the value of 70 dollars? Why because of those gambling dens in that city?? Or do you mean to say other way around??
Yeezevee, some people get some help from the government for their heating costs. But many people in many states, even with children, do not get help for all of it.
I thought AMRIKA takes care of its poor. I guess no one in AMRIKA
who rules America reads any thing like these Quotes from Past Americans..
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" ...Emma Lazarus
“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
― Thomas Jefferson
“The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.” .. Plato.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan,
I guess all those days are over., There are plenty such sayings from Americans And I wish Every AMRIKA senator reads once every day before they enter that HOUSE OF AMRIKA. May be theyr should make it as rule.
We are very, very lucky that here there are churches and the rare non-religious organization to step into the breach. I think without these places, it would be much worse. Our charities make all the difference, and help with food and heating and repairs.
The state and county you live in decides if and how much help you will get.
For the very poor, living in a place with reliable charities is often the difference between living and scrambling to live.
Well I guess we should differentiate between people who go to CHURCHES for the sake of church and And those who speak about Christ to make money
THE HEROES OF American Christianity..
Kenneth Copeland: He runs Kenneth Copeland Ministries, was one of several televangelists whose finances were investigated from 2007 to 2011 by Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.
According to an article by the Associated Press that ran in 2008, “His ministry’s 1,500-acre campus, behind an iron gate a half-hour drive from Fort Worth includes a church, a private airstrip, a hangar for the ministry’s $17.5 million jet and other aircraft, and a $6 million church owned lakefront mansion.
The article later added that while Copeland has not released up-to-date salary statements, “the church disclosed in a property-tax exemption application that his wages were $364,577 in 1995; Copeland’s wife, Gloria, earned $292,593. It’s not clear whether those figures include other earnings, such as special offerings for guest preaching or book royalties.”

I am sure there are plenty more such preachers of Christianity in AMRIKA... And sure they donate money to AMRIKA senators for their elections.. That is DEMONOCRACY. But I think Americans are very dynamic folks because of that "freedom of expression" and Americans do have the power to change their governments every four years..
