Homeless situation....

first step.

spend money where its truely needed. throwing money at a problem is not always a fix.

I agree the homeless need to be taken care of in this country, but its not as simple as giving them a home.
there is electricity, water, upkeep. It is not a small task that will be pricey. then comes into play the number of mental health issues that exist in the homeless community that would have to be dealt with also. Mental health took a huge financial hit a few years ago, so now back to the original problem. We need to stop spending money where its not necessary. to clarify , Im not saying we should not put money into the homeless. Im saying the opposite. There are other topics that our gov. throws money around wastefully.

Like the war on most drugs which enhances the homeless situation to begin with. Legalize at least marijuana and tax it with that money ear marked to support the homeless population, etc.
