Does The US Government Care

I thought when President Joe Biden became the next president we wouldn't be struggling this much. By I'm sorely mistaken. With former President Trump we had to worry about an almost war between the US and China.

With the President right now we have to worry about losing our homes because of the higher taxes and gas prices.

I have a question, does the government care about us? If so why aren't we receiving Stimulus checks in all 50 states. They say America doesn't have a lot of money but is that really true?

There are more jobs in Medina, Brunswick, Cleveland and more. Yet everyone is afraid of this virus. To step out of their homes, so places like Instacart, and Doordash has been becoming a huge popular craze. Fear is replaced, by everything.

But can you really blame people for being afraid.

Anyone who doesn't have a silver spoon in their mouth is afraid of so much.

The homeless community is growing, and cities are so embarrassed by this they would rather not see a homeless person at all. That's all a façade the allusion of this community being around. No, this isn't true this community is real.

The corruption of money is real. Money is a way of living it isn't a way of being dishonest and lying.

In the US there is assistance:

1: EBT or Food Stamps: Because of the price of living is going up EBT increases the food stamp benefits.

2: Some who are afraid to step out can't work: People are trying to sign up for SSI (social security income), some don't make enough on social security income have no choice to go back to work. Fear only increases.

3: Signing up for low income housing and housing financial assistance: Sometimes you have to put your pride aside and do what's right for your family. Even when it's difficult.

But does the government care about the citizens or is it just a façade to a line there pockets.

Making the hard decisions for families all over the United States is probably the hardest thing to do. Especially during these times of this virus.

Families are separated, because of greed, and devastation. Does this truly matter, do these people have hearts?

Hard to say as I don't know what goes through their minds.

4: separation welcomes scammers: With desperation it comes scammers preying on the weak. The weak are people who are desperate to have money because of struggling family life, and the government has turned their backs.

There are so many things to be said during former president trumps reign people didn't struggle with money or job growth that is.

Though with President Biden right now gas prices have increased, the price of living has increased, and it's so horrible.

The prices are only going to increase, with leaving Americans poor and struggling even more.

Most families fear the worse, and it's only going to arise the fear.

Which fear is worse COVD-19 or poverty? Money has nothing to do with greed, it is a way of living nothing more.

If you could make one wish that had no consequence what would it be? My wish would be thus,

I wish I had enough money just enough to support myself and my husband. And for the money to keep flowing.

The struggle is real, and it will only get worse until families work together to form something better.

When the government thinks about money and aligning there pockets. Neighbors and families need to work together to help either. We should never give up on humanity.
