Hang in there guys, the stimulus package will be kicking in any day now.

[hinckley buzzard]

Laid off in October. No work for a plumber in four months? Anywhere?

[decal]

Bad timing, Kev, old man.

Someone needs to tell the “journalist” that we put out articles about homeless Americans only during Republican administrations....

[Wisconsinlady]

Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be getting your Obama money some time soon.

I’d say living in a truck is pretty bad but living in a camper isn’t bad. Campers are pretty comfy.

If you live in a camper, are you really homeless? /sarc

[BBell]

At least he didn’t dump his cat.

any vans down by the river?

It’s Bush’s fault! /sarcasm>

[Secret Agent Man]

So the union brotherhood isn’t looking out for these guys. Hmmm....

[Jolla]

We are okay right now but last night I had a vision/dream from the scene in Seabiscut where you first meet the jockey, his family is at the dinning table in a very nice home having dinner, then next thing you see, they are in a camp. I pray this does not happen to too many Americans, I for one, think that it does and will continue to do so.

“More Homeless Americans Living in Cars and Campers”

Oxymoronic headline.

[who knows what evil?]

“Hope and change...”

[max americana]

and who’s the current president from which this horrific situation has escalated? hmmmm,,,,

Thank your lucky stars you belonged to a union,plumber.
(NOT)
Now do what most of us contractors have been doing for YEARS, and go to work for yourself.
You’ll be better off in the long run.
Start with printing about 1000 fliers offering your services
at a non-union price, and see that it’s not all that hard to get plumbing work.
And if you have some extra time, try to get hold of Joe the Plumber by phone and he can tell you about “wealth redistribution”.

Four months ago, the plumber was in a one-bedroom apartment in California's San Fernando Valley, with a pool and a Jacuzzi.

Well, down there... it's a lot more expensive for those kinds of places. You can find other places in the country where for the same place, it would be 1/3 the price of what it is there... :-)

It might be time to move out of California and to another place where there could be more work.

I’ve actually heard some dumb asses say that “the union isn’t getting me a job”, and then make no effort to find one on their own.

Wondering if this guy is one of those waiting for the union to “find him a job”.

As a veteran cop with over 28 years experience … 99.9 of the homeless populace are homeless by choice.
