- Does anyone possess a clue as to why our U.S. government
spends $12 billion every 30 days in Afghanistan and Iraq while 1.5 million
of our citizens remain homeless and 13.4 million American children live
in poverty?
-
- "There are 770,000 homeless children enrolled in
public education systems," said a spokesperson at Homeless Support
Network. <http://www.homelessus.org>www.homelessus.org
-
- "On any given night there are 100,000 homeless veterans,"
said the spokesperson at Homeless Support Network. "At least 3.5 million
Americans experience homelessness each year."
-
- What doesn't add up here? Answer: just about everything!
-
- Our government has forced those two bogus wars upon our
soldiers with terrible death and injury tolls for the past 10 years. Is
it possible that they are not winning on purpose or that they can't win
because these wars are unwinnable? Does that make sense? Does it show
rational thinking on the part of the military to urge President Obama to
continue military operations in those two sandbox, backward and poverty
stricken countries? If we can't win in Afghanistan in 10 years in a country
that doesn't have a single tank, war plane or radar unit-what's the point?
-
- How can the government force taxpayers to pay $12 billion
for two inane wars every month while millions of our citizens live in poverty?
-
- With millions suffering in America, wouldn't it make
more sense to spend $12 billion a month on our own people? Wouldn't it
make sense to pull them out of poverty by offering jobs, workfare, housing,
education and job training?
-
- Exactly what is being accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Answer: absolutely friggin' nothing!
-
- Bin Laden died several months ago. Muslim terrorists
can train in a dozen other countries besides Afghanistan. Let's face it;
Muslims terrorists train inside the United States at this moment-thanks
to our idiot Congress importing 100,000 Muslim immigrants annually. Ask
the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Germany and
Denmark about their rapes, bombings, cultural disruption, honor killings
and female genital mutilation results with Muslim immigrants.
-
- How could that $12 billion spent on war be used to aid
13.4 million American children? Answer: schools, supplies, food, clothing,
tutors and support! The latest news reports show that less than 18 percent
of our students know the identity of President Abraham Lincoln. They do
not know the three branches of government. They don't know their own senators
from their states. But they can "sex-text" while they're driving
70 miles per hour down the expressway!
-
- Key points on homelessness:
-
- It's caused because people cannot procure a job of any
kind. They can't earn money. They cannot support themselves.
-
- · The
nation's homeless population increased by approximately 20,000 people from
2008 to 2009 (3 percent increase). There were also increased numbers of
people experiencing homelessness in each of the subpopulations examined
in this report: families, individuals, chronic, unsheltered.
-
- · A
majority 31 of 50 states and the District of Columbia - had increases
in their homeless counts. The largest increase was in Louisiana, where
the homeless population doubled.
-
- · Among
subpopulations, the largest percentage increase was in the number of family
households, which increased by over 3,200 households (4 percent increase).
Also, the number of persons in families increased by more than 6,000 people
(3 percent increase). In Mississippi, the number of people in homeless
families increased by 260 percent.
-
- · After
population reductions from 2005 to 2008, the number of chronically homeless
people in the country remained stagnant from 2008 to 2009, despite an 11
percent increase in the number of permanent supportive housing units.
-
- · Nearly
4 in 10 were living on the street, in a car, or in another place not intended
for human habitation. In Wisconsin, twice as many people experienced homelessness
without shelter in 2009 as did in 2008.
-
- Could it be that we need to offer jobs to 14 million
Americans rather than keep China's people working as they sell us everything
we buy from "Free trade" agreements brought to us by our U.S.
Congress?
-
- My point is this: we suffer enough problems in our own
country to fill Lake Superior. But we ignore them to battle camel jockeys
and goat herders in two countries 10,000 miles away. We suffer 14 million
unemployed and 43 million subsisting on food stamps while we blast away
and march over two backward countries that don't want us there in the first
place. We create more terrorists than we are killing.
-
- I am sick of the irrational actions of 535 Congress critters
and a lame-duck president. I am sick of our government continuing ridiculous
actions that benefit no one and cause much harm in the world. I am sick
of Weiner-gate, Arnold-gate, Clinton-gate, Lee-gate, Edwards-gate, Spitzer-gate
and the next scandal that rises out of the pond scum in Washington DC.
-
- Is there any chance our government would or could function
with rational thought, a clear plan and logical actions toward solving
our problems here in America?
-
- I won't hold my breath.
