They must have spent a whole lifetime of being irresponsible and lazy too, but lucked out and just weren't homeless all their lives.
Suddenly, they're all welfare trash.

Agreed. That is why I highlighted those parts.
I was fucking stunned that MOST of the homeless are those age groups, and women and children. Plus, for the republicans and assholes, most 1st time, or under a year.
I have mixed emotions on the issue as I know both the abusers, and single mothers who've struggled all their life making it. But were one $500.00 car repair, or one medical emergency from being homeless.
A lot of this country lives on that edge. Which is why it reinforces my opinions that, during the campaign, most politicians do not have a fucking CLUE who the "average American" is out there.
