I'll bet the Big Zero's plan for the homeless is to forbid mention or description of them in any and all media.

That'll get rid of them.

And the MSM will gladly go along.

Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Well, I am not a callous SOB and do believe strongly in Karma so I try not to be cruel to homeless people.     There are homeless people who are clearly mentally ill that just breaks my heart.    The drunks and addicts I just stand clear of.   

When it is freezing out my first thoughts are to thank God for the warm, safe roof over my children's head, and then I think about the children who aren't so fortunate.    It grounds you.

HMMMMMM, Didn't their hero FDR build some vacation homes in the middle of the country for our  Jamanese citicens and German Citizens? Perhaps they could move these people, andd themselves, to these luxury camp.......vacation spots for a few years.

Naw...more like spotted owl...my favorite.  Problem is it takes 20-30 of 'em for just one serving.   :fuelfire: :innocent:
Funny, they always taste more like Bald Eagle than spotted owl to me...

I believe that long ago Rush Limbaugh suggested we feed the homeless to the hungry and thus solve two of societies biggest problems.
