Reply #12: plan to end homelessness... [View All]

how to end it for good
================================
three groups in the hmless:
1. addicts: need funds to treat them all: funds to end the despair that drives them to selfmedicate with street drugs: access to legit RX pills for depression: jobs for all to end despair

2. mentally OR physically ill: need restoration of funds for state mental hospitals, now cut in half by RR and GOP followers: need funds for mental health clinics: PHYSICALLY ill: need nationalized health, as in all other developed nations. Free docs, with housecalls too, as in Eng. and Germany.

3. just plain poor: need JFA jobs for all.. see sig. : need "living wage" for the employed yet still poor due to lousy wages: need LBJ's "war on poverty" again: need fund to subsidize building of affordable homes, or have the government do the building with no private builders. A new WPA would be a fine thing to do the building.

==============================
HISTORY LESSON: there were virtually NO homeless between 'fourty one, and RR's cuts in the early 'eighties. So there is no need for homelessness. Social programs and good minimum wages and a good health system, can end it as was done right here in the US.
