“We're broke and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc........... We allow illegal aliens to enter our country, have babies that we provide FREE housing, medical care, food stamps, welfare, education that cost us broke ass Americans 22 BILLION a year...not to mention the thousands of Americans that have been victims of crimes and DUI's. In the recent past we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey. Our retired seniors are living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid, nor get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour hundreds of millions of dollars into Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children [not those stolen from their parents by the “child abus . . . er, protectors” –RT] who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans. USA, a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going to bed without needed meds, mentally ill without treatment, etc. etc. Yet . . .they have a Benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. Imagine if the government gave us the same support they give to other countries.
And don't forget our new Health Care Law mandates that we all pay into it or pay a fine, or go to Jail if we don't. Yet Illegal Mexicans and Arabs still get free Health Care in our country at our expense! It is written in the bill that way!” I’m not against aiding people in foreign countries. I AM against aiding them FIRST. We should aid our TRULY needy BEFORE we aid those in other countries, especially since we are now BROKE. Happy New Year to all! (Thanks to Barry Cooper for this)

I stop at a stop light and there are homeless people begging on every single corner of the intersection, including the medium. I keep wondering why, in this supposedly richest, kindest country in the world, we have ANY homeless people??? We are also over run with homeless dogs and cats. I am ashamed of this.
Anon: It's because they think it's easier than working. Others are just unemployable because they're not all there. And begging on such corners is big business. Did you ever wonder how homeless people without money or transportation GET to the places they beg from? They're brought there in vans and give a portion of their take" to the person who brings them there and assigns them their corner. also, I usually wonder where such people get the money for their cigarettes and the other things they have with them. they always seem to have money for that.
Anon: On the subject of homeless dogs and cats, if I had my way, there would be none because they'd all be living with me. Unfortunately, that's not possible.
A lot of that is true about homeless people. Some are just drop-outs living on the fringe. A lot are mentally ill and it is shocking that there is no assistance for them (or very little). Since the economy tanked there are a lot more homeless on the streets.
Where homeless dogs and cats are concerned, me too. I wish I could afford to take them in.
