Cash benefits can also go on this card as well and be extracted from an atm machine. I don't know about completely taking away benefits though. I'm a single mom, I was homeless and thank goodness I found a program to help me train to get a good job. Now I am working and supporting my family...but barely. The food stamps help (I dont recieve cash benefits) to stretch my budget and feed my children while I work to keep a roof over their heads and clothes on their back. I think what is wrong is all the people who use the system instead of allowing it to help them while they work to become independant. It's hurting those of us who are trying to get on our feet and giving all of those who have to rely on some type of government assistance a bad name.

Probably why Giuliani caught flack. The homeless are supported by charities some of which get some government funding. "Give a man a fish and you feed him a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him a lifetime." If you don’t have a physical address you can not get government assistance. Probably why Giuliani caught flack.

Rudy Giuliani actually took on the homeless issue and helped NYC turn around- he found that many homeless were mentally ill and needed hospitalization. Another large chunk were actually criminals that had outstanding warrants. Those went to jail where they belonged. The remainder were given job assistance and training to help them get back on their feet. It was a big job, but it got done, and for some reason Rudy was demonized for it.

Come on a library ?????? Now if you had the homeless living next to the foundation of a building that terrorists might actually like attack it would be different. But we all know that the alderman knows that terrorists will chose a more effective target like city hall.

He makes the point for helping people better than I ever could. You should read Kurt Vonnegut. He makes the point for helping people better than I ever could.
