The National Law Center for Homelessness estimates there are three and one-half million homeless people in the U.S.A. Many are bums who prefer living that way, some are mental cases, alcoholics are well represented, but many others are recently unemployed workers who were evicted from their homes.
One-third of the homeless are children.
When you are homeless, it is very difficult to find a job because you can't afford mobility, good clothing, and clean grooming. Also, you lack the required address demanded by employers.
These people are cold at night, hungry, psychologically wounded, and fearful of criminal attacks in the spooky places where they try to sleep. This is torture.
America is not equipped or motivated to help them, it seems, while a communist tyranny 90 miles from Florida shelters and feeds its down-and-out citizens. That's right, according to all international media accounts, there are no homeless Cubans.
There must be way to correct our homeless situation without resorting to socialism, communism, fascism, etc.
Why can't America be a "humanitarian superpower" as historian Howard Zinn suggests?
