sightseers said:Wow, Great idea Oldgater.....(see how I did that.. 8) ) look at all this moneyIwe found, we can sure this money to help our less fortunate citizens.
this kind of money should buy every homeless person in America a new house. and think of all the new jobs building houses etc...
I think this adds up to around $ 4B

Oldgator73 said:Or we could have just avoided a trade war and saved the $12B in aide earmarked for the farmers. Getting back to the subject at hand, homelessness, i?d Like to see an actual idea from you on how to address it. All i?ve Seen so far are a bunch of snarky remarks.

The ACLU's most important Supreme Court case involving the rights of people with mental illness was filed on behalf of Kenneth Donaldson, who had been involuntarily confined in a Florida State Hospital for 15 years. He was not dangerous and had received no medical treatment. In a landmark decision for mental health law in 1975, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that states cannot confine a non-dangerous individual who can survive on his own, or with help from family and friends.
I was 16 in 1971 when I dealt with my first homeless person. I was working in the emergency room at a small hospital, and a derelict (that was the term in those days) had been found dead in the streets. They brought him to us, doctor officially declared death, and he was put into a side room to wait for a mortuary van. The poor man reeked of alcohol, and I had the job of going through his pockets to look for ID. It was my first day on the job as a ER clerk. When I finished, one of the nurses saw me, and immediately sat me down to apologize. In defense of the ER folks, there was another group of 5 that had been in a horrific accident, and some of those were alive when they made it in. They also had no real idea how old I was since the job was supposed to be 18 and up; I just happened to know somebody.sightseers said:I was researching the homeless issue and found this, it may have been the beginning of everything...
