These people were barely getting by in good times, what makes anyone think they will grow and flourish in bad times? Trust me, they won't. Let them set up tents, help them find food, treat them humanely and offer them hope and help. That's about all you can do...

People are where they are as a result of the choices they make. This liberal socialist pap comprises a line of thought that consistently places blame for poor outcome outside the individual. The shiftless, careless, lazy, bums are homeless courtesy of their poor choices -- and continuing a line of behavior abhorent to all persons that live a life of rational self interest. I do not spit on bums -- they spit on themselves. Cheers.

So it's a persons own fault if they get fired due to the downturn of the economy and can no longer pay rent? So they have to live out on the street in tents?

If you're going to point fingers, point it at every sorry ass politician, liberal/democrat or republican.

We can send billions of dollars of aid around the world each year, but we can't take care of our own people.

That's a tragedy within itself and you are a hypocrite.

Ironic.... how those whose leaders wage war upon the peaceful desert nomads of Iraq, now find themselves sharing a common bed.
Some depleted uranium, checkpoints, armed blackwater thugs, and car bombs........would complete the "karma".
Best thing would be to ask the UN to send help.

"what proof if any besides your own emotions do you have of a future 40% jobless rate..."

Massive federal money printing leads to a Dollar collapse, and the resulting hyperinflation will bring our consumer economy to a grinding halt. Malls will be completely vacant. People will be spending their entire pay checks and unemployment checks on food. I have already bought several hundred dollars worth of canned food/rice/oatmeal in preparation. This is the truth and what is in store for all of us.
