      The governments of countries that stupidly don’t have single payer healthcare and the local governments punishing the unhoused for existing rather than adequately helping them find housing.

          And even if they do, they DEFINITELY don’t exist sandwiched in between Canada and Mexico!

        They help them find housing in other states.

          No. Forcing them to leave ≠ helping them in any way and even if it they wanted to, they don’t have any say on housing allocation in other states.

    The government doesn’t use tax payer money to fund things. They could pay for both. The money is created out of nowhere by just raising the balance of people they’re paying. “We can’t afford that” is a fiction.

    But if we just increase taxes, they won’t use it for more bombs and more raises for themselves, they’ll solve all the worlds problems!

    Like the second was ever going to happen, even without the first one.

    The real second option is “cut taxes for our rich mates”.

    Does helping the homeless population really benefit the country though? Why should they get free handouts? I worked hard to pay rent, they should too.

    What I’m trying to say is yes, we should keep bombing the Middle East.

      What kind of sadistic fucking moron do you have to be to prefer that the government spend more money persecuting and incarcerating the homeless than it would on treating and housing them?
