I work part time at an auto auction that sells hundreds of cars a week. A number of these cars come in as repoes and it is obvious by what is found inside that someone has been LIVING in the vehicle. In most cases these are four door sedans, most are not living in large vans or RVs. Sometimes there are blankets, clothing, empty food containers etc so there is no doubt that it has been home for someone for a while. There are many millions in this country who have no possibility of making a living without government assistance. Take away all the “food stamps” and other programs and the situation would be worse than the thirties.
Take away the crushing taxation that provides those programs and the "haves" can afford to give to charities to help the needy.
The hard part is separating the can't works from the won't works.
