  • It's sad my mother and sister and step dad have to live the way they do, and the fact that they run from these issues only makes it worse. I have tried to help them and they just keep running away. Im hoping one day they can be adults and start making smart decisions. Im Heidi Ledesma's Son, and i hate seeing my mother live like this.

  • @LeftLiberalSoCal This is coming true now. Thomas Jefferson is a wise man. The banks evict people and evn have the power to say who can and can't own their own home.

  • "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless"

    -Thomas Jefferson

  • nah only if they got the money :) so the cruel cycle continues my friend

  • Too much of Big Brother around to sink that low. Besides drugs are part of their agenda. So you'd only be helping them either way.

  • true just got laid off today gay as fuck well drug dealing is always a last resort

  • It should remind everyone that this could happen to them...so save for that rainy day.

  • Well you know what they say about us Americans?.... We don't QUIT we get LAID OFF!!

  • Finance, insurance and real estate interests just paid over $42 million to lobbyists who worked to defeat mortgage write-down in bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2009, as well as other anti-consumer legislation such as capping credit card interest rates. This is what they have been doing with your gift of tax money that was intended to keep them from collapsing.

    They would rather see you and your family homeless than take a small haircut themselves.
