Trump wants to move the homeless to the outskirts of town. That way we don’t have to look at them. Sweeps it under the rug but seems fair. Public sidewalks belong to the taxpayers, not the squatters. Cutting off all welfare would get 30% of immigrants to return to where they came from, just like 100 years ago.
Think London 100+ years ago. Economic capitol of the world and lots of open poverty to go with all the opulence. The poor will always be with us THEY will have to be managed because they can’t. Freedom and markets don’t work for them.
Inflation was 100% under Obama, and close to that again under Bitchden.
