        This problem is also responsible for many of our homeless. Guy I know has been waiting 6 years. He lives "rough" in a local park. Wrong.

        This is why big government sucks and we need to push power to the states. Like our Founding Fathers wanted. Instead we vandalize monuments.

        Yet politicians increase their net worth 20 fold while serving the people? Poor with our money. Savvy and shady with their own
