“among the more troubling aspects of contemporary homelessness is that the problem has been concentrated among people born between 1953 and 1965”


A person born in 1965 is considered a senior?????

Is this author NUTS?

The earliest stages of being a Geezer-American, I guess.

It’s simply unbelievable. We haven’t had any homeless people in the United States for 8 years. Now, heartless President Trump has been in office for 10 months and we have homelessness everywhere! It’s a national tragedy, crisis and impeachable offense, all in one.

There were quite a few articles on homelessness before Trump took office.

It’s been increasing for quite a few years.

Curing chronic elderly homelessness,

Immediately arrest all members of the Federal Reserve Bank.

How did I do? Did I ace the test?

If we weren’t spending billions supporting illegals and illiterate immigrants we would have more money to help the retiring American who paid taxes all their lives but can’t afford retirement.

I think that anyone who is older and needs long term care, should get it. Free of charge to them. If we weren’t paying entitlements to people that aren’t entitled, we could definitely afford to do it in this country. JMO.

Homelessness is an outrage for anyone

I know lot of well-educated adults who glibly think they will be able to get by on Social Security alone. Hope they enjoy eating cat food.

It’s called having nuclear families, that take care of their elderly family members, instead of burdening the State with what they should be doing.

That’s not always possible with every situation. I don’t like the thoughts of nursing homes. But they are necessary.

I don’t know what he calls elders but the
Ones l see on our streets are not what I
Would call elder.

I am 81 and I believe if I got any more
Help than what I do I would feel like a dam Socialist.

Good point!

We could help Veterans, too!

Eh, we could probably help a lot of people if we were not supporting illegals and illiterate immigrants!!

Though author may be a millennial, he is not likely that author is a lib as the organization is a conservative alternative to AARP, and I have heard the founder on Hannity and Levin.

Here they note they are a conservative alternative...

Like AARP, I believe they offer membership to anyone over age 50.

Odd is it not we did not have this problem under Obama? Perhaps we did but the media did not report it.

ps
I starred working at 16 years old as a deckhand on a tugboat.
At 18 I was a roughneck on drilling rigs. Went to school and became a geologist, pilot and pharmacist. Today happily retired and financially well off. My work paid for University!

Our great nation will let you become anything you want if you are willing to work and struggle for it. If one is mentally or physically disabled society must take care of these as they need help.

I say “the hell with the rest” that are not compromised physically or mentally. They deserve nothing!!

Next vacation is Spain again in the spring. I earned it and it is my money. My wife and I also speak Spanish, we go there a lot. It is a lovely country if you rent a car and go where the tourists do not go. We stay where the local Spanish stay. It is actually quite economical in these areas. If you go to the tourist areas you will pay the price. We like Spain a lot.
