Awesome to live in the wealthies most powerful country in the world and see your fellow man having to live like a dog. There will be many more before its over. Yet, people like to thinks are working out just fine. Just tighten the belt a bit. I live in one if the wealthies parts of the country...Sanibel Florida. A decent condo here is a 1,000,000 dollars....like I said...CONDO. People are buying these and many higher priced houses like they are going out of style. People who think $100-$150k a year is WEALTHY is sadly mistaken....I would think that would be lower middle class. So when people ttalk of taxing the rich and you make 80K and think ITS YOU..........ITS NOT YOU...I did 16 inspections last week and three of them were for BILLIONAIRES......well 2 billionaires 1 bought two properties...The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.........look at what caused the failure of Rome.....this EXACT situation caused one of the greatest civilations to fail....If we ignore the past we are destined to repeat it....

Ever notice how the "homeless" ranks go up when the State mental hospitals and alchoholic drunk tanks are emptied?

Ever notice how all the liberal programs to "solve" the homeless problem during the Clinton administration only raised the number of homeless.

I am not saying that there are not good, hardworking people who, for a short time, fail and are "homeless" for a while until they get back on their feet. I am saying that there is a fairly permenent group of people who used to reside in the state hospitals that are now on the street because laws passed in the late 70s and early 80s stated that people could not be held for their own good or committed by family members.

In any case, the problem is way overstated.

Ever notice how someone WITH a home says the Homeless problem is overstated. Ever hear a poor person say "Money's not everything"...Nope. God has blessed me throughout my life and I have never been homeless. But BLAMING 20 & 30 year old programs and this and that CURES nothing.

Instead of pointing the finger.......lets find out something we can do. Would it not be an awesome thing for NACHI to get something together NATIONWIDE to help those less fortunate? Kinda like the Harry Chapin food bank...coats for winter.......SOMETHING. We all sit here and beotch about McCain or Obama...and yet that is all we do. I am willing to donate time,/money/clothes...whatever it takes. Why not do it as an ORGANIZATION so we can get OUR NAME out there and show people that when the going gets tough....we can help...

Maybe I am just a dreamer..........let me know
