If a bum on the street asks me for money, says he is hungry, as I go into a grocery store, I would not give him money. I would take him in and ask what he needs to eat. Buy him wholesome food, not softdrinks or candy. If he hesitates, he is only wanting the money for some beer, wine, booze or drugs. Shouldn't give them money. If they knew how to be thrifty, they wouldn't be poor. I think we should go back to comodities and housing projects. Not food stamps that can be easily traded for money, or section 8 housing. Would make people want to get out of that condition. I think people are poor because they are ignorant, lazy, or have a disease or sickness. Lazy shouldn't get anything.
