Homeless in America seems to be an epidemic now days. It only seems to be a two paycheck reality for so many people today. Folks are being given their pink slips without any consideration from their employers. All anyone seems to be able to say is, “so glad it is not me”; but, it very well could be you or at least someone you know. I am truly beginning to wonder is America on the way to becoming a third world country? Are we paying attention or do we not care because the matter has not hit close enough to home yet? Families are living in ‘pay-by-the-week’ motels, people are selling their plasma and God only knows what just to keep some form of roof over their families. This epidemic is not bias and crosses all boundaries – race, gender, age, ethnicity – it touches EVERYONE.
What astounds me is:
1. There are far too many people that are way too devoted to animals than they are to humans.
2. Congress spinning their wheels and failing to solve the devastating condition of the economy.
I am only one person so I would love to know how others feel about the matter and even more importantly, what can we do as a nation to solve the matter because it is not going away and the leaders of the community, state and nation are indifferent. Sound off your thoughts!
