Please Sir, Can I Have Another Wardrobe?
Doing your home up properly is almost always a big drain on resources and is even more difficult for those who are not so well off. Now consider the very weak economy and you can easily see how lots of families are struggling without the standard furniture they need to live. There may be an answer to this problem however in the form a government initiative which will ask those more fortunate to give their unwanted items to poorer families, instead of disposing of it or selling it on.
Local events, magazines and radio will all be used to advertise the government’s initiative, which is thought to begin later this year. They hope to appeal to the Samaritan in all Americans and are aiming to help out around 200,000 households initially. The furniture that is most in demand is white bedroom furniture including children’s beds, wardrobes and bedside tables. Living room furniture is next on the wish list, with items such as couches, coffee tables and lighting being highest in demand.
There have been the obvious criticisms of the government’s move, most stating that in this stumbling economy, people should be being encouraged to buy new. The government responded reasonably quickly to these accusations, with the argument that people will not be spending less money on new items, as people from low income families would be unlikely to buy new in the first place. “People will always be looking to update their furniture by buying new pieces, but that is not to say that their old items should go to waste” says expert of consumer spending Doug Wallace..
The government has said that all furniture, regardless of condition will be accepted for consideration, including dining furniture, kitchen furniture, bedroom items, really anything that people don’t want.
