Worked for United Airlines for 26 years before he passed away. United had striped them of everything, lowered salaries, took away pension, etc. My husband had to bail him out. None of this was his doing. None of this was our doing, but we knew we had to help.

Just curious as to what you would do with all these "new" homeless people?

I have three friends as we speak that are in fear of losing their homes. And not one of them bought or lived beyond their means. All lost jobs and in one case, a catastrophic illness.

You should pray everyday that this does not happen to you. You want families with children on the street? Why not have them stay in your spare bedroom as you go out to play golf or sit playing cards in a Rec Center.

What will you do with these people???? Any solutions? Or just whining.
Bad things happen to good people... I know of a highly compensated (at one time) professional who lost EVERYTHING due to a reckless business partner. He and his wife lost their home in forclosure.... there was no govt bailout for them. Are they "living in the streets?" No, they are living in a small 1 bedroom apt... that's what they can afford.
