I Think It Is Wrong That So Many of Our Veterans Are Homeless

Having been in this situation myself , it caused me to examine the epidemic in America. Being a First World power , we should not be experiencing this. Homelessness and such extreme poverty statistics.

Its a multi pronged problem IMO :

Corporate greed. The wage gap and average of short term "contract" jobs has become so large now it's almost stifling.

Job used to mean getting ahead. Now it's an acronym for Just over Broke. Designed that way to keep the rats in the wheel.

Among Veterans and Disabled its due to lack of understanding and quality efficient programs. And obscene bureaucracy. There's a severe lack of effective care.

Drugs. These are not party favors. They ruin lives.

No chance. Once you're homeless. Its almost impossible to break the cycle unless someone offers a hand

Let's get it together America. Were better than this

@Dshhh Semper Fi. I came home to : No job waiting. A judgemental population in So cal. A cheating evil wife. And depression.
