Homeless-Industrial Complex.

That’s the way the talk show host on a conservative talk show labels the Austin scene - the Austin city council keeps throwing millions of tax payer dollars at the issue and yet unsurprisingly, their homeless population steadily increases.

The American taxpayers are feeding every hungry idiot on the planet who is too stupid to rustle up their own food.

Are there any stray cats or dogs in Nashville?

‘Homeless-Industrial Complex’

I hate that I LOVE that! ;)

I was just curious to see what was up with Food Pantry usage these days. Everyone I know that manages one is up to their armpits in alligators these days trying to get people FED in this cr@ptatic economy.

Maybe we should all partake? Jack the numbers up even further before Election Day?

Yeah. I’m mean that way. *SMIRK*

The demand curve for “free” is infinite.

I work for one in PA, wont mention the name, but it’s nice to see the people who really need it get help. Unfortunately many opportunists of Hispanic heritage that drive nicer cars than many of us take advantage without a grateful attitude. They are so rude and act like they are owed everything. Lots of libs running the show, so they get their asses kissed.

Even before I retired 12 years ago, I can remember actually seeing illegals’ baby mamas pushing their baby buggies to the local UMC food pantry....a secretary I knew volunteered there quite a bit and she’d mentioned the significant portion of them being ‘illegals’ who spoke no English.

I’m wondering now if the ‘increase’ in demand is actually the seniors they’re mentioning so much as opposed to our new Biden-citizens.

Don’t forget, The Stray Cats and their ‘Stray Cat Strut.’ ;)

Would be a GREAT song at play at a Trump event! ;)

It’s GOT to be a combination of the two.

They’re importing illegals by the boatload for two reasons: our ‘aging’ populace STILL votes Republican and the Socialist Democrats need the votes from the illegals...until the last of us are dead.

The illegals aren’t going to contribute to American Society in ANY way, shape or form. The American Dream is dead. Whomped, Stomped and Piddled on thanks to the Socialist Democrats. :(

No one is coming here to make America better. They’re here for the handouts.

Prove me wrong. :(

Unfortunately, true. And when there's nothing left for government to hand out, they will be 'taking.'
