We could have a nice safety net for our countrymen if we weren’t having to support the third world parasites that have arrived in our country.

Homelessness Among Senior Citizens is a Form of
... poor life choices, bad work ethic, failure to plan.

"Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], calls it “a shameless embarrassment in a country with a tradition of helping the needy. Growing old is a condition we all have to live with. But too many of America’s elderly are aging on the streets. They need our help.”

"Weber points out that there are more than 300,000 seniors who are homeless. It is a daunting number, he says, but it is not hopeless and there may be solutions. He cites University of Pennsylvania Professor Dennis P. Culhane, a recognized expert on the homeless, who is a proponent of Permanent Supportive Housing."

Dr. Dennis P Culhane co-directs the Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy Initiative. Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy is a joint effort between the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice and Graduate School of Education, and an initial stand-alone IDS learning community of eight states and two counties. This initiative will initially place more than half of the U.S. population in a jurisdiction with an integrated data system.

The AISP will launch a training and technical assistance program for state and local governments interested in developing integrated data systems, or IDS. Integrated data systems link administrative data across multiple agencies to improve education, health and human service policies and practice and also helps solve social problems more effectively.

Mad Maxine has often spoken of some all-knowing, all-powerful database set up during Obama's occupation of Washington. Is this a part of it? Liberal leaning foundations are supplying financial support.

The housing bubble/banking scam took a lot of middle aged people’s wealth.

I’ve heard about it over the past few years. I’ve been involved in soup kitchens and different programs and you notice these things. It’s surprising the liberals have not covered it. I guess if you are not an old and dead voter, demonrats don’t care about you any more.

They are also not covering how many in this age group are commiting suicide.

They didn’t cover it before because a Democrat was president.

“We like Spain a lot.”


I’ve only visited Spain once,but loved it.

I also grew up with almost nothing,worked hard,my husband,son of immigrants worked hard,and we attained the American Dream,as you did.

We seem to have become a nation of slackers. Sad !
