I have no sympathy for those people either but some people always seem to assume that if someone is poor then they MUST be a free loader and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the system dry.
My Dad was laid off for 2 and 1/2 years once when I was a kid (he was an Ironworker) so he worked as a fry cook and some times drove a taxi to make ends meet. he had to partake of that "Gubment Cheese" during that time to help out through the tough times, I'm sure it burned his ass to do it but he had 2 kids and he needed to. I would never ever consider him a free-loader because he took some assistance to get through the tough times.
I do take issue with the no-loads that sit home and pump out a kid every 5 years so the can keep collecting and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g on the government Tit. Got no use for people like that.
