Newt Gingrich understood the kind of urgency needed to get the economy going, and there were several good examples of legislation presented at the debate that Speaker Boehner should waste no time in passing bills for.

Do not rest, vacation, or dither hence forth. Pass the common sense conservative economic solutions now with the Republican majority, and keep sending it to the Senate until some Democrats wake up.

This ‘’tent city’’ is about ten minutes from my house and this article is a crock. This ‘’pastor’ Steve Brigham is a leftie, open-border advocate and pretty much all of these people are drug addicts and illegal aliens.

The common sense conservative economic solutions are not political games for the left to defy, they are based in what works and what has been proven to work.

Keep informing the public with examples and devastating criticism of what Democrat legislation has caused, as Democrats and the media are going to be defiant.

Yes. They are Obama’s answer to the “rent is too damn high!” syndrome.

Stoop and his organization began formally tracking tent cities in 2010 but the numbers have grown so much that trying to keep a detailed report of every tent city has overwhelmed them.

"Fundamentally transforming America". Here it is, folks. This is Obomas vision of a new and improved America.

Jon Corzine January 17, 2006 to January 19, 2010 Democratic

Chris Christie January 19, 2010 incumbent Republican

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Google “Dignity Village, Portland, Oregon” and do some reading...Portland’s experiment in this nonsense is ongoing, and they are almost halfway through the timeframe they set to “abolish homelessness” in ten years. All they have done is make Portland a vagrant magnet and create an environment where so-called “homeless” are tolerated in ever increasing numbers.

Portland just finished opening a downtown center for the homeless where they can do laundry for free, take showers, hang out, watch cable TV and find access to any number of agencies and non-profits that cater to these people.

Many of these “homeless” are familiar faces to commuters, because they have been panhandling on the same street corners and freeway on ramps here for years. We have one panhandler here who begs all year long, good weather and bad. At Christmas he stands at the off-ramp, wearing a Santa cap and a portable oxygen mask with a tank...”Anything helps”...of course when he is done for the day you can watch him walking back to his car smoking a cigarette...

I would be very interested to find out just how much cash money and free services these people go through every year. It’s all gratis and tax free....

Are you really expecting the likes of Boehner and McConnel to get any corrective action going? These people are sellouts to the Obama and his enablers game of destructive hindrance. The one thing I thought interesting in the Iowa debates was the panel appeared to telling the Repubs in Congress that they are apart as far as current behavior from the solutions needed.

We would be reading a story about this every day if a republican were president.

Holy cow!

Take a minute to watch the clip that accompanies the article.

I don’t want to judge people by appearances but get a good long look at Madame and Monsieur Berenzweig. Do those look like the TEETH of a formerly successful New York textile designer and her husband? I suspicion otherwise.

The ultimate nightmare is of course, of respectable, honest, hardworking people ending up on the street. I just wonder how many in reality find themselves in such straits for extended periods of time.
