Jobs need to be created. Minimum wage at least $10.10 an hour Snap and SS need restored to a humane level.GOTV! Nobody should be homeless or hungry in The United States of America it is inhumane we need to tell it like it is as often as possible. This is a humanitarian problem in a supposed Civilized Country. We need to fight them now on these issues.
