Help or Hindrance?

Just saw on face book that there is NO money for summer cooling assistance.  There is a program that offers help to pay for winter heating bills and gives a one time payment of $50 toward your summer cooling bill.  It seems that the money was used to help needy Hoosiers with keeping warm thru the  horrible winter.  I started reading thru the comments. Oh my .. such hatred and nastiness. People seem to think if you receive this you are lazy and just need to get a job. One said “I am tired of working my rear off to pay my bills while others get their bills paid for them with my taxes.”  That is one of the nicer ones.  Most seem to ASSume (typo and it stays) that those needing help are able bodied and just flat lazy. That everyone is milking the system. And that they all need drug testing. Perhaps it's time for those of us that are able to take it upon ourselves to look in on elderly neighbors and those with medically fragile children and help out a bit. That way we can do the most good for those that truly do need a bit of help. Used to be that families stayed close to older relatives and were able to take care of their own but that doesn't happen so much anymore. Communities and neighbors took care of each other. But now it's not unusual to not even know your neighbors.   They were acting like it's all 20-50yr old able bodied people that are "working the system" when in fact a lot of them are retired or disable people. Please go tell the 72 yr old women living on oxygen and a fixed income to "go get a job or 2" to pay for extra fans or an air conditioner. Or better yet tell that to the veteran  who lost his leg  that he should be working. Or maybe they can go to the free splash pads and cool off.
