It is called either lazy ( get a new jobs or two ) or they were a financial disaster and got themselves in hock with credit cards etc.

Not many are losing their homes for good reasons. Those who want to honor their contract will take on extra jobs or find ways to make their payment.

Other will want us to bail their lazy butts out.

No excuse for anyone who is health to lose their homes, no excuse at all.
If I had to I would work 24 hours a day to keep my house I would.
But I didnt do like many others and charge up credit cards out the wazoo.

There are people who are responsible and there are people who are not.

The ones who are not want the ones who are to feed and house them.

NO MORE democratic handouts.

This is your opinion, right?

The fact that people have lost jobs because of the housing slump or energy issues couldn't have anything to do with anyone not being able to pay their mortgage.

I'm glad things are going well in your household, I hope you don't have to face a financial crisis of your own. Someone might call you lazy or stupid.

As for handouts, I totally agree, but how bout we include all of our Washington scum bags. After all, handouts from either team have the same results.

Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing.

Anyone here abouts remember Cabrini Green or the Robert Taylor Homes? You can build affordable housing but if the underlying economy can't support the people who live in them... what do expect to happen? Not that Chicago is unlike any other urban area that has gone long neglected due to push to do away with the old boogey man "social spending."

Of course when you fight for reductions in spending for cops on the street (see Bush), real meaningful drug and gun policies, real job training or providing real jobs for those figure out a way to get trained, what in the hell do you expect?
