It's unfortunate there are so many people out of work, close to or are homeless. I'm in a situation of loosing my home, just down on my luck... worked for 35 years and now not knowing where my next meal is coming from... I'm not looking for a handout, I'm looking for a job, due to my recent disabilities - I'm only able to work part-time. 7000. would keep the roof over my head... big corporate america gets the handout from the government... wouldn't it be nice for someone like this to help "middle of the road people and to make the difference in their lives" - but doing this, he wouldn't get the tax write off.

I went from having 6 figures to having medical problems and going under to not having anything... I can tell you that it has caused more stress of not knowing where my next penney is coming from to eat, and loosing my very basic 1 bedroom home of 20 years to foreclosure - If I even had 5000. I could save the roof over my head... He's making a horrible mistake in not keeping a back up account in case something happens.
