Homelessness is an inevitable consequence of trickle-down economics. Over half a million Americans are homeless but there are 16 million vacant homes here. We need a 21st C Economic Bill of Rights to break the back of a soulless economic order & put people's lives back on track

This might be in fact the most ignorant thing you’ve ever said. Just straight up stupid. Trickle down economics gives EVERYONE a chance to participate in the economy. Are you really this daft?

No. Homelessness is a consequence of liberal policies that teach people drugs, alcohol, irresponsible sex are good; education, success, achievement and responsibility are bad; and the government is your friend and will take good care of you.

So that’s what’s going to put lives back together? A written bill? 🤔🤔 from the soulless economic order?? Interesting….
Replying to @marwilliamson
no, it is broken families and drug addiction
Replying to @marwilliamson
I think homelessness comes mostly from alcohol and drug addiction.

Drug addiction and mental health issues are the main reasons why people are homeless.

Colleges teach that profit is achieved by exploiting labor, what about the cost of executive pay? Instead of running companies well, they scramble to dump labor if there's a downturn in the economy. Law should require that employees & management be laid off during layoffs as well

So grateful for the time we spent with sister Nina. We did some good groundwork ahead of the election despite my lack of mobility.

How do we as a society expect people to be financially successful without providing financial education for all students in our schools. How is Personal Finance less important than Art & PE?

Yes ... Great Idea!
