I'm not sure what to believe. I don't trust this RT news story. It sure smells like right wing nonsense.

1. I'd much rather live in a society with a strong social welfare state.....

The madness of Reaganomics has swelled homelessness in America, and those people are f**ked.

2. We've heard this same meme, in the U.S. when tptb wanted to

reduce welfare roles, that being, the existence of welfare promotes recipients. Hogwash! This is definitely a right wing talking point.

3. Yes...Right Wing Propaganda.

So where are the statistics to show this, more people chossing to be homeless.

Edit: RT News is overall pretty good compared to CNN and MSNBC. I think in their advertisement they admit to different having viewpoints. It is good in some ways to get people like us thinking.

4. It's true: welfare programs make it easier for the homeless...

that's kind of the idea.

It's also true that many people choose homelessness, especially when they are sure that they can survive. It's one of the many reasons people find themselves living on the streets.

But that is not a convincing argument against helping the homeless, it's when the RW tries to draw that conclusion that they expose themselves.
