Eddie Gluskin Eddie you don't realize that many homeless people have mental problems and they need to be helped because they can't make decisions like you and me. Unfortunately, even the government doesn't rehabilitate the homeless properly. But, go to countries like Norway and Sweden and they know how to help the poor and homeless. The American government is wrapped up in to much red tape and only ends up giving away money in the form of food stamps and welfare instead of REALLY applying the techniques used in Europe to help the needy. If you don't understand that....... then lets leave it at that.

There are senior citizens that are too old to work and walk around in the middle of the night trying to collect recyclable cans and bottles to barely have enough for a piece of bread.
