The homeless are like cicadas. They have an 8-year life cycle. Assuming we alternate between 8 years of a Republican president, and 8 years of a communist ... er, I mean socialist ..., er, DEMOCRAT ... then the homeless appear within a year after the election of the Republican, multiply in exponential numbers throughout the next 7 years, then slowly die out or go into hibernation while the comm ... er, Democrat is in the White House. Only to reappear when the next Republican takes office.
LOL! Perfect.
