It's cool to say Israel (and Syria) now too! It's okay to ignore our own people while we "defend" Israel, Ukraine (and Syrians today)

How much money do you think is going to help these drug addicts as long liberals think they have a right to take over properties, harass people, shite on public sidewalks, do things in public others would be arrested for, and so on?

Ones that might truly break free do so with help of family and friends not the govt.

When I think money would be better served helping Americans it’s not these or generational welfare grifters (and it’s definitely not illegals). There are plenty of American citizens needing help who haven’t dropped this far and become addicts dropping out of society. These are families, veterans, and retirees struggling to pay bills, pay for needs due to inflation, afford medical care even with a crappy Obamacare plan, pay rent or mortgages, dealing with other hardships that aren’t self inflicted and likely made worse by issues created by the govt, and who are still trying and wanting to be a part of society and contribute even just a little to it that need the focus not these people.

Yep- keep sending billions across the border and neglecting our own.

Yes, I am sure.


Addiction captures the drive of the soul, but the soul itself is unequivocally still there. And it is in desperate need of help.

Those are very good questions, my friend.

1. I wasn't advocating to spend ALL of the billions that we wouldn't be spending on Ukraine and Israel on the homeless.

2. I would suggest a good place to start would be to help our mentally ill better than we do. I personally know of about 6 people that are on the street or on the verge of being on the street, due to mental illness, their family's lack of ability to care for them, and no other help in sight. We (the US) basically shut down this care in the 1980's. This is huge problem in our society, and the fix isn't free.

3. Do you believe that these homeless folks don't include members of the groups that you mentioned?


We (the US) are the largest most successful nation ever to be on this planet. We can do much better for our people, and even get ourselves out of debt. But endless wars are not the way to do it. The wars are only successful in making a large, powerful group, more rich and more powerful. Well, and killing lots of people.

At one point in past they might have been which is why I included restrictions/conditions on the citizens I think help should focus on instead: “haven’t dropped this far and become addicts dropping out of society”, “hardships that aren’t self inflicted”, “who are still trying and wanting to be a part of society and contribute even just a little to it”, and aren’t “generational welfare grifters”.
