3. This isn't as weird as it may sound to you. My 78 year-old sister told me the other day that they
should stop the help to the unwed mothers who had boyfriends and lived near her in a HUD building. I asked her if she knew for sure if they were boyfriends or not as some might be family members that were down on their luck, and what would she do with the children in those apartments if they were taken from them? She said stop the men's welfare. I asked her if she knew how hard it is for anyone that is single to get welfare and she said she didn't know. I told her if there weren't any young children in the home then you don't get any help accept food stamps and about $150 a month where we live and that is only for a few months. I suggested a Work Program like we had in the 70's that helped my family out. It was called CETA and it worked very well! I think if we profess to be religious and follow the teaching's to help those in need we need to work to help those people out who need it and not to make it worse!
