You Never truley know

Sounds just like Karachi, Bombay or Calcutta. (Yes I know the names have changed!) The USA really is a third world country now! Now if it would just stop making wars all over the world, and look after it's own people, perhaps the rest of the world wouldn't laugh so much when it claims to be a superpower.

I so agree. It is very sad. I like to walk along our greenbelt here. It is a pathway down by the river. Alot of the homeless live down there. I hate to see them. I am so low myself but not homeless it is depressing to see. Our community does have alot of soup kitchens and such help them.

Sadly I was born & raised in Brooklyn, NY & this is not at all uncommon. Homeless people can be seen everywhere. Now I know some of them are con artists, but there are some who truly can't catch a break. I look at them & know that just as easily this could be me & my husband. Yes, right now he has a good job but anything can be taken away just as soon as you can blink. When I think about all the money that our government wastes on these big fancy parties with all these high political people attending it makes my stomach turn. I'm sure they spend money foolishly in other ways too, ways that we don't even know about. I think to myself that if they just took even some of that money to help provide better jobs or any jobs for that matter for these people, then maybe just maybe we wouldn't see as many homeless people as we do now.
