I live in one of the most affluent counties in the country...supposedly....Montgomery County, Maryland.

Today, on a jaunt to Rockville, we noticed that on virtually every busy intersection, there are panhandlers (PLURAL) camped out or walking down the island holding their hard-luck signs looking for money from drivers sitting in the air-conditioned cars.

Some intersections have all four directions occupied with men, women and their children.

It’s sad AND disgusting. Very conflicting.

Obama’s America! But don’t expect the MSM to pick up on this and let the public know of the increased homelessness and desperation.

Was that in Rock Hall or DC? Or in one of the towns on the way? We biked with friends to RH on July 4th, with a bunch of stops on the way, and didn’t see that.
