Habitat for Humanity
- Share via
My Labor Day weekend musings waxed pessimistic until I read about the 48 families that the Habitat for Humanity Project has helped attain the American dream of home ownership (Sept. 1).
The Defense Department is spending $30 billion a year in contracts with foreign providers. Increased taxation and the flight of manufacturers to countries with substandard conditions and cheap labor will continue to impede the American worker; one wonders who will be able to buy homes in the future.
Let us hope the Habitat for Humanity concept spreads, at least until we have a government that shows as much concern about problems in the United States as it does about saving the world.
