20. Are people in denial or something? The homelessness crisis is growing from all walks of life
There are no jobs.

This isn't about the mentally ill or alcoholics.

There are one million homeless school children. Do they matter?

We have people on disability who cannot afford housing because there is not enough low income housing.

There was recently a brawl at a low income housing office where people were fighting just to get on the waiting list.



And then, we have millions of homes that are in foreclosure, falling apart, dragging down neighboring property values...why can't we help the families and the veterans and the disabled people get into these homes? The government just WASTED money handing it out to their banker buddies, the least they could do is help the people they have screwed over with NAFTA/WTO and the rest of their horrible policies.
