Many on the Left criticize those on the Right for lacking compassion.  There are never enough food stamps, extensions of unemployment or government subsidized homes to sprinkle amongst the least, the last and the lost. Always the passionate lot until there is truly one in need and there is a conservative approach available to assistance a person committed to leaving behind the shackles of poverty.  Congressman Raul Grijalva certainly would not want a constituent needing him less and depending more on themselves.

Section 523 Mutual Self-Help program is a self-help method that involves families working together to build their homes and earning “sweat equity” under the supervision of experienced construction managers. These extensive labor contributions mean that each family has equity in their home when it is finished, and that the new owners know how to repair their houses, know their neighbors, and have a strong sense of community. In addition, a number of them use their on-the-job training to find new jobs in construction. The Section 502 Direct Loan program has allowed over two million families to accumulate assets through the equity in their homes with affordable mortgages. Yet, with such promise for individuals, Grijalva could not find time to assist families in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District with getting the go ahead to build homes on their land.  What was more important to the compassionate Congressman?  Getting a developer to come onto the land in order to bring in more tax dollars.  It seems compassion is a lucrative market if you have a D behind your name and rhetoric to match one's bluster.
