There are about 500-600 thousand homeless people in the USA.


All of them could have roofs over their heads with just 2% of the current US military spending budget.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76638889


Yeah, hey dumb-ass tell them to get a job.
 Quoting: StriScoLand


You are obviously the dumb ass.

These people are PTSD war vets, Mentally disturbed, alcoholics, drug addicts..

Employers do NOT give jobs to these type people who are not functioning as a normal human.

This is why there is such a problem, that dumb assholes like you are too stupid to understand how to deal with the issue.

I am all for getting the homeless into government housing with full time social workers so they can be treated with the specific care they need.

Many can be rehabilitated and the goal is to stop the associated crime and problems having MENTALLY DISTURBED people roam the streets.

Its not the government's proper role to house people in the first place.

This, also, when people step up to solve the problem, they get swatted back down. The homeless population is weaponized by the people you think can help them.

Mayor and then Governor licking pooper Colorado had pet projects of house almost people and when they were furnished with a brand new apartment with new appliances and fixtures and furnishings they ended up selling everything down to the copper plumbing in order to keep their drug drinkhabit going and left a shell of a shit hole in its place. This is the reason why your plan would fail.

A GENUINE homeless problem is a tiny percent of homeless. Majority of it is drug and alcohol addiction coupled with mental illness. They choose that lifestyle by choice
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77568399


I don't think you are right.


I'm sure most homeless people are homeless due to lack of better options.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76638889


Stay at a homeless shelter and see for yourself. I did. I was the sole drug free person there.

The Constitution States in its very opening:


We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Welfare does not mean handouts.
It means policies that benefit the welfare of all the citizens in this country.

Given that are homeless population is increasing across this country, it is quite apparent our government has failed.

We can print trillions of dollars for the war machine, but for the maimed, crippled and mentally and emotionally damaged that come back from these wars, we will hear, sorry, we are just out of ink and cannot afford it...

The translation is the citizens of this country are expendable in the greater scheme of things.

It would be better for the money changers and profiteers if damaged war vets coming back were thrown in a chipper and disposed of.

They is all they care about, worshiping money.

You always get more of what you subsidize. Just look at California, particularly San Fran. They catered to the illegals and homeless. I bet that place will be unlivable soon.

Maybe we should instead bring back the mental hospitals?

Homelessness isn't fixed by throwing money at it.

Homelessness is fixed by ending addiction, domestic violence and other social issues.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77534636


They stopped prosecuting some of the thefts and loitering that corrupts society. They basically gave them free reign.

If you want to be homeless, go for it. But you should be fully responsible for yourself. If you reject that responsibility, bad things happen, not just to yourself, but the surrounding community as well.

They use to lock the majority of these people up in mental wards because they could no longer be responsible for themselves.

I am probably an asshole, but I would create an area for all of the homeless. Give them a refuge. Drill some wells and make sure there is adequate soil for raising their own food, and let them loose in this gated/walled community. No substances besides water & their own food grown locally on the plantation. If they don't like it, they are free to choose to rejoin society and contribute or at least support themselves.

If they wanted to survive, buckle up buttercup and do it yourself. If you refuse to take that self responsibility for yourself, there will be consequences for your actions.

If we continue down the pandering path, this problem is going to get a lot worse.

Just leave them be then.
If people want to hand them money when they panhandle, that is their business.

You sound like a Commie where you want the government to force people to go to work camps and pass laws to make pan handling illegal.

Maybe we should have our own little Siberia where we can ship the homeless off to death camps, then Capitalism Supporters can have their own Stalin Moment.
