US has 727,304 homeless people nationwide: report

[AGENDA21]

Last year, the United States found 727,304 homeless people nationwide, meaning about one in every 400 Americans were without a home, according to the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2005 issued by the Information Office of China's State Council Thursday.

The figures came from The USA Today published on Oct. 12, 2005.

"The Los Angeles County has become 'the homeless capital of America,' with the average number of vagabonds or people in shelters hitting 90,000 a day, including 35,000 people chronically homeless," the report quotes an article of The Los Angeles Times on June 16, 2005 as saying.

"The United States dubs the world's richest country, however, it maintains the highest poverty rate among developed countries," the report says, given a study of eight advanced countries by London School of Economics in 2005, which found that the United States had the worst social inequality.

4. Yes they are low balled, but the figure is gonna go through the roof

Just wait for the full effects of that so-called "Bankruptcy Reform" to hit. Think of the millions who WILL lose their homes because of Biden and his pals...

5. at least!

my worry is -- those numbers will be corrected and crowed about in the ''msm'' once dems take back control.

actually -- it's not a worry -- it's what will happen.

6. Damn shame some congress members are among them. Perhaps

some time spent living on the streets would make them more compassionate toward those less fortunate?
