Here is a story and there should be a million like it. A poor, "ne'rdoweL" with a wife, six children and a dependent, sister is an example. His worldy possessions were a mule, a cow, two pigs and 17 chickens, and he owed $15. He was a tenant farmer in the poor south. The government FSA granted him a loan of $3,000 to run for 40 years at low interest. He bought a good farm, built a home etc. In five years he paid off the 4o-year loan and today is , worth at least $4,000 and he an d his family are living well and i comfortably. He is a respected citizen. It can be done. This poor man and his family were salvaged and such salvaging pays the government and society more than money Let there I be more of it. |
