Bailout America's Homeless

Alternet.org
December 11, 2008

Barack Obama should provide jobs, housing, healthcare and other vital services for all our nation's homeless during his first 100 days as President because it is the homeless who are suffering most during these hard times. The entire weight of our nation's economic crisis is on their shoulders as these destitute Americans struggle to survive from day-to-day. If Wall Street and major corporations need bailouts, imagine how much more of a bailout or rescue plan America's homeless need. I have yet to see or hear anyone express any significant concern about the plight of America’s homeless during these hard times.
