How long do you think the United States tax payers should cover these people's rent and utilities? How many generations into the future shall we house these poor displaced people

"What I do know is that there aren't actually jobs for everyone who wants them, that the myth of the welfare cheat is just that - a myth, perpetuated by people who really ought to know better

It is not a myth. Working in the inner city on a city ambulance based in the county owned and operated hospital (also read as the indigent care facility) proved to me beyond any possible doubt that better then two thirds of people on the government dole are there because they have no desire to get a job.

" - and that many of the jobs that do exist don't pay enough (because we lack the political will to require it) to actually feed and house the people holding them."

And if and when that happens, it will trigger another round of inflation that will hurt all of us and probably put those low wage earners in a worse position then they are in right now. That is basic economics.

"as Bill Gates can afford a mansion"And what has that got to with it? Are you suggesting that since there are homeless, the Gate's home should be seized, bulldozed and
