U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday spoke to state representatives about how to spend their portion of the 787 billion dollar stimulus plan. Many Americans hope the money trickles down to their communities to create jobs and ease financial stress.

  • I think that only the elderly deserve low income housing. Especially if they worked all of their lives. Most of the people in this video have probably never had a job or ever contributed anything to society.

  • If they can't pay, they don't get an apartment.

  • @vitriol69 they don't give a fuck anymore, this is america and you're not allowed to judge them they have the right to be as irresponsible as they want and if you say anything you're a racist

  • Why do some of these people have young babies? I can understand families with older children that fell on hard times, but they knew they should'nt be having babies.

  • of course, the blacks always complain that they are treated unfairly, but are in line to get every free handout made to them. i mean if they complain that they are made to suffer in poor neighborhoods then why is it that 5-10 make it to college and become something, is it due to the fact that those 5-10 put fourth an effort

  • This whole government WELFARE SCAM is about to COLLAPSE and soon everyone will KNOW that AMERICA is one of the POOREST NATIONS on the face of the earth. Made POOR because CORRUPT DEMOCRATS and CORRUPT REPUBLICANS have now succeeded in completely WASTING the WEALTH of this once great nation. These people need to learn how to live off the land because that's exactly where we're heading. Those who look to the government for help, will FREEZE and STARVE.

  • that might be true abt a lot of those ppl, but what abt 650 billion dollars annual defense budget? Americans you got to wake up, hit at the top and not at the bottom of society, you could do a lot of things with 650 billion dollars,

  • Line is exclusivley made up Negro parasitic freeloaders- who'd ever guess?

  • They are poor but they keep plopping out babies. Can you say selfish? You are adults, you figure out your lives.  we can't feed you all anymore!

  • Notice how they are all black and mexican......
