Billions Spent on Military BUT
 

We can't even provide housing to the homeless.


Da Fuck?

the last army to attack the north american continent came in wooden ships...

oh and trillions were spent on making a select few rich with "great excuses" as to why the most basic principles of human rights and democracy do not apply outside the USA, when the US gov. has "ideas" about how others must live...

California has the nation's largest homeless population. Where'd all their money go? Oh right, they spent it all on sanctuary cities and benefits for illegal aliens.

USA has enough money to run the military, feed and house all the homeless and to give new arrivals all the opportunities they need. "if they choose"

But its a choice thing, based on the political party that's in and public sentiment at the time.... same as most western counties.

Russia however, let their people starve, have failing infrastructure and can't even offer basic support so the Government can fight their wars and create chaos around the world and they do that by feeding their population vodka and brainwashing you with propaganda. No body but a spy ever said.. I want to move too Russia.

In the US it's about votes. The Democrats can't survive without a growing Mexican population the US. This is a fact.

Meanwhile, these Mexicans destroy every community they take over. Everything begins to fall apart physically and the crime rates soar. You don't see this all the way in Sydney and you can forget about it reaching you via the news.

Most homeless people in the US are homeless by choice for one reason or another. This is especially true in big cities.

the military complex needs the money more than our citizens

Every Boxing Day " day after Xmas" for the past 15 years I've partied with these guys, Victor is a friend.

So why saying I don't know American Mexicans is correct, I do know many Australian Mexicans. And I know that given the right help and conditions with a welcoming and non racist environment they enrich the communities they live in while sharing their culture with us, and I consider myself to be truly privileged to be part of that.

the problem is not them.. its people like YOU

Alaska was attacked WWII

keep defending your racketeers, they are racketeering you as well...unless you directly produce weapons...then its a great corny deal for you...

in any case the USA is the #1 reason other countries are arming the fuck up...money is being diverted from science, education, healthcare all to "keep up with the klingons"...americans are too far gone with the brainwash to understand that one day the bill will come due...all countries will eventually have the "off switch" to life on earth simply because one country, the USA, could not stay the fuck home...

We can't provide housing for the military either.

:2 cents:

A big part of the issue is the fact people don't want homes for homeless in their neighborhood.

Do you want homeless to accumulate in your neighborhood due to homeless shelters built all around your place? Most don't. They want to complain about the homeless then exclaim "no homeless shelters in my neighborhood".

Yeah since you happen to know one of the 3 mexicans that live in Australia, and he happens to be a good guy, we should open up the gates and let them flood in to our country.

There is no reason for homeless housing to be lumped up in one area.
Vouchers can be used for the person to live in a variety of areas.

People don't want to pay for any of if. End of story.
Any other excuse is just fake news.

wrong. I have first hand experience with this very matter right here in my city and the surrounding cities as we work to relieve the homeless issues here.

vouchers have the same pushback from communities. the homeless is not "the person". the homeless are a bunch of persons and the fact is no one wants them in their neighborhood. it's a big problem we face.

OH, I get it now. A homeless person is not a person but a group.

that's exactly right. The solution isn't for one homeless person, it's for a bunch. moreover, homeless congregate together. that's what they do.


the homeless were recently kicked out of the local river bed, they spread out among the local cities and are a big issue.

we have the money and are ready to go to build homeless shelters and spaces, every city council around us has voted NO on homeless shelters in their city.

Nobody in the military is homeless.

Vets....

I thought Trump was going to fix that.

Here is why Billions are spent on the military. This applies to every country.

Let's say a country orders a jet from Boeing as an example.

Boeing has to subcontract having the components made (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).
Boeing has to sub-contract having the engines made. (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).
The sub-contractor sub-contracts having the components manufactured. (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).
Then Boeing pays it's workers to assemble the mechanical side of the jet. (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).

Then you have the electronics of the jet.
Boeing has to subcontract having the electronics R&D'ed (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).
The sub-contractors have to sub-contract the actual manufacturing of the avionics/electronics.(X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).
Once all the avionics/electronics are manufactured, you have to have everything assembled into the jet. (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).

After that, you have the testing phase. (X thousands of workers/jobs/voters).

Once a jet passes the testing phase and it is delivered to the customer, you still have technical support for the jet. (X hundreds of workers/jobs/voters).
You also have to have spare parts chain for the jet. (X hundreds of workers/jobs/voters).

This doesn't take into account, delays in manufacturing.

It is easy to see how a jet can cost billions. Employ thousands of people who pay taxes, purchase big-ticket items and vote.

It's all about the money and votes.

If homeless people had better options like getting money to change their lives, I think they would think about it.

Most homeless people are not homeless by choice, most like to stay out of the excess cold or excess heat.

I'd keep in mind that a big percentage of homeless people are also suffering from severe mental problems.

The vast majority of the "bums" who are homeless here in Vegas can be seen pushing their shopping carts full of trash while vigorously talking to imaginary people.
