“The idea that community or faith based charity were more efficient, effective and capable than the government of addressing ecological stringency hasn’t been true since the industrial revolution transformed the US from agrarian to an urban nation” (LA Times). When I was 14 years old, my mother, brother and I were evicted from my mothers then boyfriend’s house and forced to share a one bedroom apartment with no furniture.

In “Why is Poverty Moving to Americas Suburbs”, hopes of securing an extension of unemployment benefits for 1.3 million long term jobs Americans took a blow. . . when Congress was unable to reach an agreed regulation for the Unemployment Compensation Program. Although there is still a chance that the program will resolve- the earliest that Congress will revisit the legislation is at the end of January. When I was 18, I worked at a taqueria and an ice cream shop. I eventually found myself working less and less hours for minimum wage. The harsh reality is that managers don’t want to risk paying anyone overtime. The better option would be to hire dozens of workers all for four hours a week for eight dollars a day. If I were to have been kicked out of my familys house there would be absolutely no chance of survival. And one should take into account the different situations that a common citizen could get himself into.

He truly believes that the corporate presence can jeopardize authority, jobs, income and patient care.
