The effects of the current administration on my family.

It has been a little over a year since my last posts. From my time of absence a lot has changed. My father had been laid off for nearly 2 years giving us no source of income. Our house was foreclosed on forcing us out on the streets. August 28th 2012 was the last time I saw my house, my fiends, and my former life.

In between August 28th 2012 and now my family and I have been living in our car and off and on with my grandparents on weekends. I go to a run down charter school that has a serious drug problem. Everyday since losing his job, my father, has looked for a new job, but to no avail. Due to his serve back problems he can not be a laborer anymore. All I have now is the library that I am writing this from. I have read "The Virtue of Selfishness" by Ayn Rand and love it. I can't find any work either. Nobody is hiring.

We tried filing for welfare and unemployment, but we were denied (I don't know why.) This is the worst situation my family has ever been in. Under the Bush administration we never were in this situation or even close. We are living proof of what the current administration is doing to the American people.

    t2-I know you don't want to hear this but things will probably get worse for the foreseeable future. Our problem now is there are no reserves to pull an FDR alphabet soup relief set of programs out of the hat. The best I can tell you is try to find an accommodating farmer, rancher, grower who will let you squat in return for a modicum of work. You may not eat high on the hog but you will have a roof and a stable environment.

    You have the right attitude for success t2. If possible post your location and maybe some gulch members can post some ideas and suggestions. Best of luck to you and your family.
