see bottom line there
a useful fact that no one in the general public seems to know.
i agree, we must get the debt under control. We need all the old dem programs again at full strength, especially housing vouchers, which RR the monster cut by 2/3rds in the early '8O's, suddenly creating mass homelessness.
Homelessness kills 1oo,ooo/yr from heat, cold, rat bites and food stamp cuts { food stamp cuts... aka hunger... 12 million hungry in our showcase nation. Who would ever want to copy our set-up?}.
The homeless die at three times the normal rate. 3 million are homeless at some time over the course of a year.. some move up and out of it, others fall in.. a churing phenomenon... in any one night , a million live on a piece of sidewalk.
they are not lazy.. JOB SHORTAGE is now 14 million, so that number is forced to try to live without an income. No matter how much they try to find a job. Some have helpful family, some do not.
we must get JOBS FOR ALL, via share the work, co ops, and WPA.
