To continue:
I agree it's a state's affair. But, MY point is the feds won't let it be that way. Now, if the system could be redone, I'd be all for more state control - a point I agree heavily with republicans about (though I really mean it, and I suspect NO politician in DC truly wants to see power leave DC). But, given the situation AS IS, my simple point is that the $$$ should go to something like this as opposed to several other wasteful programs I've aptly cited.
As for family members caring for loved ones - too true. But, most homeless folks I've met simply have no family left (and, yes, I interview them upon occassion to satisfy my curiosity). That doesn't mean society should let them absolutely fall through the cracks. Now, I'm not for doling money out to people just because they are lazy or the victims of bad luck. But, in a first world country, we have enough welfare $$$ floating around to spend them on food and heat for those who will freeze to death this winter without it.
