Also, I respectfully disagree with this last statement. My heart breaks when I see the countless homeless families with children. There should not be one, not even ONE homeless person in a country as great as ours. I believe the majority of homeless do want a better life and a warm bed to sleep in and DO NOT want to sleep under a bridge or in a box, scrounging in garbage for food, with the women being continually raped, even little girls. NO! I'm afraid I just don't have the pessimistic view of the homeless that you do.

Is there of a percentage of people that just want handouts??? Of course! Should they get a hand up or hand out??? NO! But, as I stated previously... I know these people can be weeded out, just like they weed out people with false disability claims. Oh, and some of those people are Republicans too!

There, but for the grace of God, go you. Always remember that.
