we've wondered about this too. The only thing we can come up with is that politicians have created an environment that have outsourced our jobs to countries where the work can be done cheaper; that makes the good less expensive. This housing problem where there are so many people who are defaulting on their loans is another aspect of the homeless -- and unfortunately they do show that the homeless can appear anywhere. This problem is so huge that it may bring about a change.A computer for every kid -- we haven't seen it implemented in the USA; there is an underworld where people, some even highly educated, end up. There are thousands of people in the USA that do without enough to eat, warmth, comfort, homes -- just as in other countries. we wish the government would stop paying out so much money to other countries and put some back in our economy.

I would spend money on a poor and starving person in a poor country before would spend it on a person in the U.S. Even though there are many needy people in my own country, I believe they have more opportunities and access to services like welfare, unemployment, food stamps, church programs, work programs, etc. They also have far more legal and constitutional rights.Most of the poor and needy in developing countries have nowhere to go for help. If they don't have families to care for them, their situation is utterly hopeless. In developed countries like the U.S. life can be tough but there is always hope for a better tomorrow. In the end, I think it is a matter of seeing all of humanity as your brethren, versus just those who are of the same nationality.

Homeless And Starving In The Land Of Free!

We want to see if there is a way that we can help the starving children. As we were looking at some pictures, we have noticed that there were people in rags and covered with filth lying scattered all over the place. At least half of the children in crutches, had parts bandaged, or with open wounds not even covered. They all looked hungry and a margejority looked sick as well.

Some children are so young, that they don’t know how to take care of themselves, so they just give up and starve themselves. Some of the children are homeless, and try to do anything just for protection. They will be up in the middle of the night wondering around the streets to find a place to sleep and try to find food. Some even go through garbage cans. So the people today are trying to help the hunger. We feel so bad for them, that we are trying every way just to help them. Just to get everything back to normal.

*starving children*

The most shocking sight to see is homeless and starving children, living right near some of the richest neighborhoods!! Right here in "humanitarian" America, home of the worlds largest "humanitarian" and "liberating" force. Everyday 34,000 children die of hunger or sickness caused by hunger. Even in the United States, one out of every eight children under the age of twelve goes to bed hungry.
