Losing your house, your car, and being forced into homeless shelters has happened all over America in the last few years.
Doesn't matter if it's NBC warfare that cause it, or the great depression of 1930 or the depression of 2008. Homeless is homeless. Hungry is hungry.
It's conservative to protect one's family against that. It's liberal to snipe at those that are trying to do something about it.
