Oh yeah, they own a house valued at $260,000 and commercial property worth $160,000. I really feel bad for them.
I feel bad for you. You don't seem to understand the first thing about money.
A house valued at $260,000 does not equate to the owner having access to $260,000 nor does it even equate to the owner having a net worth of $260,000. Do you know what a mortgage is? Do you understand that a person's net worth is their assets minus their debts? It seems Michele Malkin doesn't know the first thing about buying a house or any other property in the real world. Do you really want to be there with her? A $260,000 home in the city where those people live is worth less than the median home price. This is NOT some mansion. It is a working class home.
They first bought the house for $55,000 with a mortgage. They then were forced to do major renovations after the accident. Do you know what a home equity loan is? You know TTH maybe you should stop and think about the reality of how people live before you attack them because you feel the .000002 cents of your money that goes to help them is too much. By the way. They just announced yesterday that the war in Iraq is going to cost every person in the US $8000. I can think of a lot of things I would have rather spent that money on.
I do however believe that if someone is going to have kids they should be able to afford them. Maybe those parents should work 2 jobs then. No one paid my medical bills for me. I worked 2 jobs to pay them.

I didn't say anything about net worth, assets or mortgage.

Halfback I don't hate kids.......I like kids as long as they are someone else's
