What do you do when the ability to feed yourself, your children, your family is abruptly lost?
I understand the need for more accountability from people who receive benefits however removing those benefits with no warning, no time to plan, with an economy that is already making day to day living difficult if not impossible is not only wrong but I would go so far as to say it’s VILLIANOUS!
The current climate of this country is focused on “Christian Values” supposedly. In stark contrast to those values are the actions that these “Christians” deem correct and just.
Christ’s teachings encourage charity, love, grace, and mercy. Yes the desired result is self-sufficiency but even the Bible says to TEACH people HOW to fish. You don’t just throw them out there with no support and say, “Figure it out!!”
This once great nation was a country that showed compassion, understanding, tolerance, and support to everyone even those who were alien to us. We had strong alliances and were thought to be the template for how a country should be.
We are now looked on with disgust, ridicule, and dare I say hate.
It’s not the President’s fault. At least not all of it. It’s the citizens of this country who are not only allowing these things to occur, but who are also praising the misery and despair of their fellow citizens.
It’s a sad state of affairs when the least among us, the children, the elderly, the sick, the homeless, and the veterans are looked upon as “mooches” who don’t deserve benefits.
This country has truly lost its way and I’m afraid it won’t be able to fix what has been so severely damaged. It’s not a party issue. It’s a PEOPLE, constituency, citizen issue.
Don’t forget that but for the grace of God, it could have been you!
