We seem to be on the same page then TL [img]smile.gif[/img] I too spent some time with the homeless. In San Diego (a warm place with more than its share if indigents) I had to work in some of the major congrgational areas. I found the majority of the homeless there were or appeared to be mentally disturbed. There were a few people who had bad luck stories and a great many of those were due to alcohol or drugs. Only a few actually wanted or seemed interested in permanent changes to their status. And of course the gangs were a whole different story.
As for bailing out failed companies, in some cases this action may help keep the unfortunate working class employed by those companies from becoming like the current lot of homeless. But you are also correct, there is probably more than enough squandered and fradulent money floating around our current welfare system to take care of everyone.
