3. 84 000 homeless/year die from exposure to the elements, Bush cuts to up
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 08:10 PM by oscar111
to up that to 90 000 next year. Nothing alters his sound sleep.

His budget proposes to cut housing vouchers, tossing a quarter million more out to live on a piece of sidewalk. The homeless die at three times the normal rate. Do the math and you get my headline here.

{ 1 million homeless on any one night, but due to fluctuating circumstances, 3 million are in that situation over the course of a year. I calculated only the EXCESS above normal deaths.}

He also proposed to cut food stamps, upping the number of hungry from 12 , to 13 million.

A christian?
