Would these “homeless children” be those million that Obama gave the green light to from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatamala?
But ...... but .. but the gay agenda is much more important.
The press is not allowed to talk about homelessness when a Democrat is pResident!
It’s because of the damn meth that’s why.
Nah, only when Republicans are presidents does homelessness of any kind suddenly appear. Democrats take it away just as drastically.
Somebody is going to get fired. Don’t they know only to run stories about homelessness when a Republican is in the White House?
I am LOVING the implosion of Obama!
Obama, I mean Obola is making W Bush look better every day ! As each day goes by and Obola has to in the end adopt W's policies... W looks like a genius and Obola like an armature in way over his head.
Wow - it’s amazing the liberal mindset can read this article and focus on the wrong issue. For example:
“The crux of the problem, she said, is the state’s high cost of living, coupled with insufficient affordable housing.”
No - the crux of the problem is people that can’t afford to support themselves having children that they also can’t support (note the story further down about the family having a second child while they are currently homeless). And the number of out of wedlock births in this country, where there aren’t a mother and father to raise the child. Of course - we aren’t allowed to judge anyone over this, so we just let it happen.
The reaction to this by many is to increase welfare subsidies and the number of people that are eligible. What no one seems to look at is the result. By subsidizing people to have children they can’t afford, the problem just grows exponentially worse - those children will most likely do the same thing in a few years. Until society collapses on itself.
Exactly.
“President Obama wants to end homelessness by the year 2020”
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 (UPI) —
At an event in Los Angeles on Saturday, the new Housing and Urban Development secretary, Julian Castro, said President Obama wants to end homelessness.
“President Obama has set a goal of effectively ending homelessness by the year 2020 and ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015,” he said. “The folks who have served our nation should never go homeless.”

“We are ending homelessness”
In 2010, the Obama Administration launched Opening Doors, the nation’s first comprehensive strategy to prevent and end homelessness, and since then the number of persons experiencing homelessness is declining. The Plan seeks to connect housing, health, education, and human service programs together so that they are engaged and coordinated to prevent and end homelessness. This is an audacious strategy but one that government at every level is serious about. - See more at: http://blog.hud.gov/index.php/2014/11/12/homelessness-2/#sthash.NeN4VSYv.dpuf
>homeless people that encompasses shelters, as well as parks, underpasses, vacant lots and other locales
Democrat city problem brought about by creating serfs and paying them to pinch off new welfare children as fast as they can procreate. And they keep bringing in more wasted youth.
It’s obvious we haven’t spent enough money on the problem.
More taxes are the only solution.
the crux of the problem is people that can’t afford to support themselves having children that they also can’t support
Yep. Whenever the subject of poverty comes up, I always remember this quote from Hugh Price, President of the National Urban League: "There are three things black parents must persuade their teen-agers to do. First, get their high school diploma. Second, get married before having their first child. Third, hold off on having their first child until after they turn 20 themselves.... Only about 8 percent of children raised in households that follow these rules experience poverty. By contrast, 80 percent of the youngsters in households that ignore these rules end up poor."
I suspect a fair percentage of that eight percent, the parents have divorced or the family has otherwise broken up. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Nothing is so much needed as a secure family life for a people to pull themselves out of poverty.”
Family ties -- parents with each other and with their children, but also aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc. -- are crucial for survival in hard times. I know a few people whose church provided them a temporary home of some sort as well, but family support is by far the most common. From what I can see, people without that safety net are more likely to end up homeless than anyone else but the mentally ill.
Don’t use the term ‘serf’.
An actual serf gave 25% of his harvest back to the king, and he allowed one of his sons to be trained for the defense of the realm.
I aspire to serfdom. Can you imagine paying a flat, single tax of 25%?!
It would be amazing.
It would be a GOP talking point: “Aspiring to Serfdom”
It’s been in the making for about 40 years.
