U.S. Homeless
“Ranks of Homeless Children on the Rise, Study Finds” (July 1), about the situation of the homeless in our country, was truly depressing. It brought back unpleasant memories of the Depression years. And this in a country with a booming economy?
But perhaps I have the wrong perspective on life. Apparently Congress (and the American people?) thinks it’s more important to station soldiers all over the world and to increase military budgets every year. Perhaps I should be consoled by the statement that “God loves poor people; he has made so many of them.”
Where did we go wrong?
