Got any homeless living with you? Do you donate all you can afford to homeless shelters? If the answer to this questions is no then why exactly do you expect the rest of us to do so?

Find out why exactly these people are homeless.
A significant number of the homeless more than likely had jobs in job markets that are now dead and gone, jobs that wont return even after the economy has recovered.
The best remedy for this is to invest in jobs and training programs based on employment in growth industries and markets. Such programs do exist but theyre poorly or inconsistency funded and administered, mostly due to political reasons.
For example, most Regional Workforce Boards place a greater emphasis on job placement rather then training, to appease state politicians who want to see people in jobs any job, no matter how poorly those jobs pay or how temporary in time for the next election.
Forcing someone who was making $30 an hour into a minimum wage job isnt going to do anything to end unemployment or train individuals for new jobs in stable markets, much less pay a mortgage and other bills so one can stay in his home.
Yes, any job is better than none, and theres nothing wrong with working your way back up from the bottom, but job placement should be conjoined with training, rather than one or the other as is most often the case.
the compassion has left this country.
its pretty sad when you have christians insisting the poor should stay poor becasue god made them that way
Kill all the bankers and there won't be any mortgage payments.
I wish it were enough.
It never is.
Which is why we need to help our fellow Americans become strong and productive again

How sick to turn this into a religious moment.
But I'll play. Shocked the hell out of me to find out the Catholic Church donates more than anyone else on the planet to help organizations that help those less fortunate.
I was truly dumbfounded on that one. I was truly in shock.

As a Catholic, it didn't shock me... but I already knew. Catholics generally take the whole 'charity' thing very seriously. I was raised to view helping those less fortunate as a responsibility and a privilege. And I was raised to understand that 'helping others' did not mean dumping some money into a bucket, it was giving my time, my experience and my money.
