"Philip Mangano of the Interagency Council on Homelessness has been promoting 10-year plans to end homelessness in major cities across the country on behalf of the Bush Administration these past few years."

The Bush Administration did far more to increase homelessness than anyone else with its economic policies. I will believe he cares when he and Laura donate that other house they bought to be used as a shelter for the homeless. I cannot even fathom anyone suggesting he cares.

We need conversion programs to take abandoned apartment complexes and turn them into housing. And we need some sort of assistance programs to give these people jobs, something, anything, so they feel they matter.

That is the worst of what we do to the homeless. We make them feel as if they don't matter. To the majority of Americans, sadly, they don't.

The major problem is we have too many people and too few jobs. That is part of the Bush legacy as well. He and his father promoted "guest workers" in order to create a worker class in this country which has displaced quite a few Americans and put them under a freeway underpass.

The Bushes are the main reason why the word Republican has become a synonym for evil in this country and around the world.
