How are you today?

Homelessness abounds in the US. We are one of the richest nations in the world, but our homelessness rate exceeds most countries. It seems that our government simply doesn't care. That's the impression I got when I wrote an e-mail to my local congressman and senator, explaining that I was homeless, and are there any programs for me to take advantage of. You know what I got back in response? An e-mail thanking me for e-mailing the congressman and senator. One line. That's it. They don't want to admit their failure.

As far as this community goes, take it from me. I've been a part of other GLBTQ sites, and this is the most active one I've seen to date. I mean, aside from the ones filled with guys looking for one night stands. You'll meet people. Give it time. I did. mile:

So I've heard. 30 million unemployed, 20 million homeless and 5 million street children were the dark statics of the Stats, right? (of course, some of those millions belong to the same category, so the real number is slightly smaller) It's a serious problem, and I see Obama's efforts as a step towards an European-styled welfare state. It's a good thing.
But you will have to do major cuts to your military if you want that welfare state, you can't have both.
