  2. Homeless People in the U.S. -- this should never have occurred in a country as rich as our's has been...

Alot of homeless people choose to be homeless, being that they don't want to have a job, apartment, responsibilities.   Duh... common knowledge

You are claiming that our country is too rich to have homeless people, so are you saying that our government (that is a trillion dollars in debt the rest of the world) should pay for these peoples lives- their apartments/houses, food, etc?   No, wasn't saying or suggesting this at all...  

How fair would that be to all the hard working Americans who just barely make it? Not fair at all, and they would just quit their job and suck at the governmental bottle. Then you wouldn't have anybody to serve you burgers at Mcdonalds and check you out at Best Buy.  In our area these places do not hire homeless people to work for them...  Indifferent [:|] 

Instead... I was referring to the homeless who are people that are there through no fault of their own...  they've lost their jobs, homes and vehicles... and do not have family or friends that can or are able to help them... so they end up on the streets... often w/their children in tow... and it's ignorant to "assume" that I was only talking about the homeless people that are stereotypical of the group...  like the ones you've mentioned... as that is really "old news"...  Indifferent [:|]

I am in fact talking about having tax payer credit owned places... (where wealthy taxpayers earn tax credits by "buying into and supporting" these homeless shelters) and they also elect a Board of Directors who are responsible in part for assuring that the rules/regs and bylaws are enforced and kept so that these shelters would flourish and be an asset to the community that they are housed in...   In these shelters... in return for having a safe, warm and clean place to sleep, eat and stay... these homeless people would begin to get back on track w/their lives... by furthering their education... learning new trades... and obtaining full-time permanent jobs... and these shelters would not be their permanent homes... but rather "halfway houses" of a sort where they are allowed to regain their lives and dignity as human beings...  it's all possible if those Americans who are able to would form this type of group based on earning tax credits...  and helping those less fortunate who have fallen in between the cracks of our society...  Smile [:)]

And to further explain...  I have a college degree... and also 30 years of work experience in various fields... but would have been homeless long before this time... if I had not had such wonderful Grandparents who worked very hard and saved a lot of money... and left me some as my inheritance...  so once again... do some research and think before you speak of things where you might not be aware of all the facets and details...  Time [O]

Wheather payed for by tax credits or directly by the government, the end result is that the tax payer pays the bill. So I don't get the distinction you're making between the two. Not that I disagree with your tax credit idea as the government fails in everything they run. So private ownership, and managment (with oversight) of such facilities would ensure a better result than say... government run housing projects or anything else the government runs.

Let it gooooooo Big  T Man! Are you on the debate team in high school?The forum isn't called"Let's debate about TTMG."
TTMG:
1.Debating about what someone thinks must go.
2.Secretary Henry Paulson and his brilliant plan to give money to banks in order to lend more money instead of buying troubled mortgages from distressed homeowners.
3.Jay Leno and other comedians dipping into the "Bill Clinton sleeps with a lot of women" comedy well.
4.Referring to any 11-12 year old as "your teeneager".
