I Just Saw Something Really Sad. And Then I Got Angry.

63. I have pulled over to try to help homeless people. Why do you think people do not? I have talked to

them, many of them are veterans. 'Support the Troops', RIGHT!! Why do we have homeless people in this country at all? Are you aware that there ARE countries that have hardly any people living on the streets?

And why is any Veteran without a home in this country considering the enormous size of our Military Budget? Where does all that money go?

Why are you speaking to someone who at least cares enough to pay attention to the problem as if they, somehow are to blame, or could do anything about it?

I wish I had the power our government has because if I had, there would not be the disgraceful number of homeless people in this country. But individuals don't have that power. They can buy someone a meal, offer them help to try to find shelter temporarily, or like Occupy Wall St, actually provide them with help, but when they tried to that, they were prevented by our so-called Government.

Talk to Congress and ask THEM the questions you are asking the OP. The OP has no power, Congress has. They do nothing for the homeless, they work for Wall St, they bail them out when they fail, they protect from prosecution for corruption, they pass laws that favor them. They don't care about the people.

The OP clearly does and no doubt elected people to represent his/her views on issues like this but is not being represented. So talk to those who were given the job of helping the people but who apparently have little interest in doing so.
