Wolf is Real America Wake-Up

Wolf "Once upon a time the U.S. secretary of state went to the UN Security Council and cried, "Wolf!" He said that the evil Saddam Hussein had been building weapons of mass destruction and posed an immediate threat to the United States and the world. Over 1,000 American deaths later, there are no WMDs to be found. There was also a president who made a State of the Union address in 2003 and cried, "Wolf!" He said that the evil Saddam Hussein was getting uranium from Africa to build weapons of mass destruction. He called on the American people to be prepared to fight a war against terrorism by invading Iraq. Claims about yellow cake in Niger destined for Baghdad were exposed as phony early on. But still the United States invaded Iraq. More than 12,000 Iraqis have been killed. The United States cried wolf, and the world shuddered and watched as the most powerful country threw its weight around and took over Iraq and all of its resources, including its future. There were no weapons of mass destruction, but there was oil and the possibility of redrawing the map of the Middle East to suit the narrow interests of the few. The few who cried wolf in the name of the American republic. The world wondered if it could ever believe the United States again. Then the U.S. Congress, in a rare and historic bipartisan and unanimous action, declared that something is taking place in Sudan. Once upon a time, Washington could have exercised its clout as the most powerful nation in the world and handily won over the support of members. But now, the country that cried wolf has lost the moral authority it needs to rally its neighbors to real action. It will be the cruelest irony and the greatest tragedy if the people cannot count on America to save them, a country that lost its credibility because it cried wolf. War in Iraq has now claims another 50,000 victims. And the toll is to rise even more, in the weeks ahead. In the tale of the boy who cried wolf, it was the boy himself who suffered the consequences of his actions. This time it's two million dead people, and everyone that believed what the Wolf told them and did what he told them to do."

I thought this was some really heavy thought to put out, but I also felt it was something I felt strong about and wanted to post. It is a wake-up call for all Americans.......May God Forgive us!

Families living in Section 8 housing will now pay more

Times; "Single mother of two is saving up to buy a car. Section 8 housing has helped put a roof over her two children's heads. Which has lifted a huge burden off her shoulders, she said. Her daughter has asthma and allergies and the family's energy bill runs about $200 a month. She's trying to get on her feet, but now she worries major cuts to U.S. Housing and Urban Development funding will knock her down hard. HUD will now offer only, a set amount of money per family. She worried about costs going up for her family. "I get no help from anybody. It's just me and them," she said. Another change could affect the size of families' apartments. Before, separate bedrooms for children of opposite genders were required at "school age." A single parent with a baby or only one child under 8 years, would live in a one-bedroom home. A family with two parents,and two children would live in a two-bedroom,three and up children a, four-bedroom. If only one parent, would reduce size of bedrooms. Subsidy for a two-bedroom is less than that for a three-bedroom and raising the age would save several thousand dollars a month. Also if you are working you will be moved ahead to the top of the list, where as, to someone who is not working. To help cut the cost on the Goverments part for rental assit. This single mother, thinks another solution to the problem would be to make sure everyone who benefits from Section 8 housing actually needs it. She believes too much money goes to people who really don't need the help. "I'm basically doing it all by myself," she said."

This is again a story on how bad things are in America right now!! And to make matters worse the Goverment is now cutting how many housing/assit-vouchers, they are giving out and also reducing how much money per- a household for help.
