I think that our country really needs to get our act together when it comes to the homeless that are Military Veterans. These people gave up years of their life to protect our country, only to come home and be treated like throwaway garbage. And then their are the homeless people who choose to be homeless. I really don't think that our government should be wasting our tax money on these individuals. At least not until they are ready to try to put their lives together. This group of homeless people are the ones that sicken me.

Did they court the guy that sits outside the Rite Aide at 23rd and H and bugs the customers for spare change?
