What with unemployment so high and knowing unemployment insurance won't last forever, where will all the homeless be housed? Don't they, even though they can't afford it deserve free housing as well as health care?

In many cases, unemployment insurance doesn't cover all the basics for life.

If it covers rent, it surely won't cover all other necessities like auto payments, insurance, clothing, food, utilities, etc.

I know for certain a landlord will still want their rent.

Banks want their money for home, auto and other loans. Repo.

A few will live with other family for a while. But, they will be like fish left out of the fridge, start to stink.

So, what is the answer to providing housing for the homeless? Is it, just see if they can survive the streets?

just give em a copy of the Hobo Handbook

They can come to my house, we'll put cots up and grow a garden..communal living.

It's just that the stats are out the projected number of accounted for unemployed will be up to 20 million.

Oh well it that case we'll build lots tee-pee's in the back yard...

Ok, I'll bring some canvass.

I may be headed that way myself,so I guess I'll be buying a Tee Pee too! Hey,they work!

we have all the room; here in, Roswell, New Mexico. (Send each and everyone of the homeless, to us.) They will be taken good care of.

I start a job Monday! Merry Christmas after all.
I started lookin April '08

Maybe we can migrate north to Canada and work for less than the average Canadian, until we end up being a commodity..:)

Good for you...congrats

Hey there we go.

Think the Canadians would mind a few million illegal immigrants??

After all...the Canadian people are known for their politeness. They shouldn't mind us adding a burden to their system.

it's all a matter of perspective I guess

I once hitch hiked from El Paso to Dallas with only $20 and a sleeping bag

I lived in a tent on Lake Grapevine for a year and got a job cooking in a cafe and walked into town to work

I saved my money until I could rent an apartment

and at no time did I consider myself "homeless". I was just temporarily "outdoors"

Life is something to be conquered

not vice versa

Go back to living in caves and foraging for food. Used to work quite well.

We might all have to do that with the current administration.

Ironically...
All the homeless people around here just break into the foreclosed-on houses that the original owners (who might now also be homeless) would have at least been making partial payments on.

So if the cops find these people they're arrested or fined and thus we just continue the cycle of debt - which seems to be the only way that Michigan, at the very least, has figured out how to generate any money circulation.

Unfortunately for this country, " life " is now something that the government will just hand to you.

Don't make enough money?? Don't worry. You don't have to educate yourself. The Government will take care of you.

Don't make enough money to pay your bills?? Don't worry. The Government will make sure those mean old banks will loan you the money to buy a house no matter HOW bad your credit is.

After all...you are entitled to these things. It doesn't matter if you've worked hard all your life to earn them.

The Government is here.

Are you the spirit of Frederich Hegel?

Canada isn't as tolerant to illegal immigration as we are.

Once we get enough of us there....they'll come around.
