1 in 45 children in the U.S. are homeless. Yet the right never whines about it.

[OohPooPahDoo]

Result of LBJ's Great Society and several billions of wasted dollars since then.

You have evidence that the rate of child homelessness was lower before LBJ?

 

[Pete7469]

Where are all these "homeless" kids? Where are their parents? Why aren't people being prosecuted for not sheltering their minors, and why are the oxygen thieves in state welfare offices not doing their jobs and finding shelter for all these homeless kids?

Or is this just another bullshit liberal statistic?

 

[Crackerjaxon]

I don't think it is government's role to solve the problem.

So it doesn't really matter if government can help solve the problem - it only matters if their idealized "role" involves helping to solve it. Children should go homeless so our idealized visions of government remain intact.


Got it.

Children go hungry because people like you don't get off their asses and feed them.

Get it now?

Don't reply until you've written a sizable check to a homeless shelter or volunteered to help in one.

I might take you seriously then.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Let it be handled at the charity, state, local level AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.... stop taking so much at the federal level in taxation and stop spending so much on entitlements at the federal level and people will indeed be giving more... and if YOU feel there is not enough being done, YOU do more or YOU organize more VOLUNTEERS to help on whatever level... but for YOUR specific feelings of whatever level of charity, YOU do not get to FORCE OTHERS to provide for it in your place while you spout some moral superiority

Got it...so if ppl don't kick in, then oh well, Child Homelessness continues. Great plan Dave! It just requires everyone to be on the same page...Remember like the last time that happened on the 32nd of Neverary

Uh huh.. yet you and your ilk are not the ones kicking in.. not the ones donating even more.. and not the ones volunteering time, services, and materials... funny how that is

Did you just learn the word ilk and trying to impress someone?

 

[LogikAndReazon]

You crying again? Instead of being against everything suggests try to suggest a solution yourself. You cant so you resort to being the boards "anti". Anti-everything and has no solutions to offer.

How do we solve this problem baby?

DONATE.. ORGANIZE.... I do what I feel I can do.. you go ahead and do the same.. and if you don't think it is enough, you have the FREEDOM to go ahead and organize and do more.. call for more volunteers.. call for more of the community to pull together VOLUNTARILY

You, nor anyone else, is OWED personal upkeep... and if the kids are in a situation where the parents are liberal twatsicles who would rather spend their money on pot and placards for protests, then the state can indeed take those children away to become wards of the state to have their upkeep as minors taken care of... but just to call for government to keep confiscating in a redistribution scheme to the parents who while most are indeed able, most just do not do what it takes to provide, is flat out wrong

I have probably given more and volunteered more than you or the OP ever will in your lives... lets see you actually step up and put your money and efforts where your mouth is.. rather than trying to use governmental power to force others to do it in your name

That sounds much like a Community Organizer Dave but we all know from your previous vomit spewing that Community Organizers are bad ppl and rabble rousers.

And what happens when ppl don't pull together Dave? Oh yeah, that's right...things stay the same so all we have to do is heard the nation onto the same page to succeed. If only there was some way to organize everyone to attempt to solve the problem on behalf of society. Some sort of body that would manage this problem made up of individuals.

Not government...something else just like that but not that because, Dave doesn't like it

Nonsense.....community organizers are just beggars for taxpayer dollars

Really?? Did I go or say anything against what local government does in terms of programs for their local work?? I believe that is where it belongs if it is to be in government.. not at the fucking federal level where we spend on it MORE than what we do on defense

If people don't pull together.. you don't get to force OTHERS to pitch in for your moral superiority feelings...

You are about noting more than force.. like so many other far leftists before you

 

[martybegan]

Right wingers say those lazy kids should get a job, like the ones in China haha!

Nah. The problem is left wingers push the federal government to get involved, knowing it can never solve the problem, but at least they get to feel good about "doing something."

Results are not a concern, budget is not a concern, just throw (other people's) money at a problem. Even if it doesnt work, the progressive feels they have at least tried, because of course, intentions are always better than results.

In the end the only things that win are a progressives sense of accomplisment, and all those federal government functionaries that get paid to "solve" a problem that cannot be solved. (plus they get to retire on a cushy federal pension! SO much win!)

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Hate to see anyone homeless... have donated to the local shelter for battered women and their children to have them safe and off the street.... have also volunteered time and effort to help rebuild a local family's house, keeping them off the street when their damage was not covered by their insurance... what the hell has the OP done?? Just wait to feel the generosity thru others while the government confiscates to take care of his charity feeling need??

You're answering a question I didn't ask.

But since you mentioned it.

My wife works full time as a legal representative for the homeless for legal services which you and your ilk are anxious to defund. So half of my family's work involves helping the homeless. So STFU.

See?

Dave says Organize the Community, then we find out Organizing Communities are frowned upon by your "ilk". So really we are back to square one: Do nothing

That's a great plan, one well thought out

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

that is exactly what government is for.

Its for leading human society in a direction more benificial to the people in the country in which the government is made.

There is NO good reason to insist government stay out of this.

No, no it isn't.. only in Socialist Utopia Land is it government's role to lead people in a certain direction. Our country was founded on the notion that men are the ones best equipped to carve out their own destiny and that government needed to get out of the way.

How colossally ill-informed of you to think otherwise.

Its not like conditions like this would affect anyone else who choose not to help...Wait...err...Freedom!

Legal services attorney's are in it for the money, right. Dedicating a career to helping the homeless doesn't count if you've got to eat, too, I guess. You're a fucking moron.
