I truly don't understand. I see these people as freeloaders.....of course they want free laundry...and free food and free shelter. The oilfields in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, the Dakotos, Montana....etc are BOOMING. Get a job washing dishes at the local hash slinger....
If they had your skills, intellegence, and background, I would agree. Some of these folks don't have much of an IQ, or skills, or have something in their background that keeps them from getting employment.
When your wallet gets swiped, it costs money to get a new DL and SS card. And for want of a nail, the war can be lost.
I believe that Christian Charity should be based on helping those that NEED help.
If they are free-loaders, we should help them hit the road. If they need help, we should help them.
But it takes someone hardcore to dig through the BS and sort out the sponges from the truly needy.

You're right, for some. Many, I don't know. Some are probably unemployable hash slinging or at Starbucks. For personal decisions, I can't say all, given the number of government programs available, I'll accept mostly. And if it's everyone, doesn't matter. We're discussing a charitable program (hope I'm not wrong on this), not a government program. IMO that's the best place for help to come from, so I wish the bubbles people success. And as to the beneficiaries not deserving, that's not a reflection on the charity.
As to the oilfield jobs, our government is doing everything it can to make sure they're not developed.
