The homeless issue is never an easy issue to discuss, let alone come up with a solution. Homeless people are everywhere. They greet you when you arrive at the grocery store; they greet you when you leave the grocery store; they sit on street corners of busy downtown intersections and others just panhandle old-fashionedly on the streets looking for everyday people to offer them money, food or shelter. The homeless issue a big problem.
Many of our everyday politicians, world leaders and other dignitaries fail to arrive at decent solutions to this problem. Many have suggested continuously pouring millions of dollars into feeding and helping our homeless people.
Others have recommended government funded programs that give these people a “second chance.” A second chance program gives the homeless a low-paying job, free housing at a nearby project and education, all of which essentially wastes tax-payers money. But this is far from the problem, let alone a solution.
The homeless issue is a problem that dates back to the late 1600s when there were not “homeless people.” Rather, town drunkards solicited pity on themselves from townspeople and hung out where alcohol was readily available only later to go to a dainty shack or abandoned building to make shelter for the night. Unfortunately, that same event occurs daily in cities all over America and many Americans are tired of it.
Americans can’t keep writing checks to an organization that helps the homeless people only to find out later that their money did nothing but help feed someone else’s pocket book. This only adds to the homeless problem. These organizations remain open with programs funded by tax-payer’s money. But if the homeless people could take care of themselves, we wouldn’t have such a quandary.
The homeless issue is not our problem. The very people who put themselves on our streets in La Verne, Los Angeles, and throughout America are at fault and should be ashamed of themselves for being there. Why should people all over America worry about our nation’s homeless problem? The idea of worrying about our homeless problem is irrelevant and none of our business. Our homeless people have a choice in life. They are not born homeless, only to a homeless environment.
There are about 200 nationwide programs that are designed to help homeless people without using taxpayer’s money. Many of the programs are free, confidential and available continuously to the homeless. Why don’t they go to these programs, worry about themselves and not bother the rest of America.
Why should taxpayers help those who put themselves in the situations they’re in? Why is it, America always has a fetish in helping out other people? Why do we always play “police” to other nation’s dilemmas such as Bosnia, Haiti, etc? People are responsible for their own actions and the homeless are no exception. People work hard for their money and they shouldn’t be subjected to lonesome, dirty beggars who approach us in our neighborhood stores and streets. Nobody can force anyone to become homeless. Too many times, the homeless peer into other people’s self-pity to look for their comfort, sorrow and otherwise financial pocket-change.
If there are so many readily available programs for our homeless people to “fix themselves up,” then why should the hard money-working America always pick up the tab for street beggars? This isn’t fair.
Americans should no longer support the panhandling hobo. The homeless people put themselves in the situation they’re in and with a little patience, the homeless people can get themselves out. After all, who wants homelessness anyway? They shouldn’t be wandering our streets, sleeping on our sidewalks and bothering working Americans with their sick and disgusting style.
