1. K&R. Yes please!

2. The problem is that when our country tries to help ease the misery of the poor in other countries,

the money for the easing of that misery is, in a surreg deducted from the money available for the poor in our country.


We have so many homeless people in our society and the number is growing. The wealthy in our society society is so unfairly distributed. We cannot settle the costs of caring the poor in other countries and then letting more and more Americans settle for a life of misery. The rich have to make the sacrifices this time not the poor.

3. I can see America getting behind this in spirit but not with any actual money,....

.....and NOT for our own people.

After all, fear of being on the streets is what keeps people working. Right? It certainly isn't because they like the pay, benefits or attitude from a boss who acts like a little tin dictator. It's fear that they will be reduced to pushing all they own in a shopping cart.

We can't have people thinking they can't starve,....they wouldn't threat the boss as the Lord Provider.
