Where’s our stimulus money Mr. Obama? United Nations Probing into the Chronic & Economic Homelessness in America:By Marc Chamot
After indebting our nation, and increasing our deficit to over trillion dollars on two stimulus’s, one for the banks (under former President George Bush), and the other 800 billion dollars for other Wall Street junkets, under President Obama. It seems that the people aren’t getting the trickle down effects of this money like promised.
It’s so bad, that the United Nations is intervening on the behalf of the homeless poor.
It’s a sad day when the United Nations have to come to America, and treat it like a third world country, because the poor, unemployed and the poorest are living in deplorable conditions.
We hear about shanty towns and squalors in poorer countries, but here in America, of what was once called the land of milk and honey, has become the land of the greedy, the fleecing, and milking the regular folks out of a good life.
It’s a real shame and a big embarrassment for this president and our U.S. congress, for a once considered in the forefront on economics, jobs, and the world’s wealthiest nation; it is now being lumped like every other poor nation of the world, like Brazil and Mexico.
Members of a United Nations are on a fact finding mission on RECORD homelessness, public housing, and massive foreclosures. This is the first ever official U.N. investigations into housing rights in the United States of America.
This mission is being led by a Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Adequate Housing, Raquel Rolnik, who says her office has been inundated with complaints from Americans.
Rolnik’s U.S. mission included stops Washington D.C., New Orleans, Chicago, New York, an Indian reservation in Pine Ridge, SD and Los Angeles.
In South Central Los Angeles, Rolnik listened to testimony from homeless mothers who are forced to live in unlicensed, for-profit run-down shelters, because the cities’ regular homeless shelters are full and with mile long waiting lists. These women are also forced to live in co-ed dorms and on bunk beds for $350 dollars a month! Most live in abandoned buildings, with no hot water, and leaky roofs.
Grant it, the United States does NOT grant the right to adequate housing in its constitution, BUT NEITHER does the GRANTING trillion of dollars in subsidies to Wall Street and the RICH.
In America housing is a market commodity, not a social concern politically. But in America, these two presidents and congress made corporate America, and Wall Street, NOT to become a market commodity and made it a big social concern.
Some critics are saying that this U.N. fact finding mission is a threat to American sovereignty, and would be better to investigate countries like Brazil, with their 20 million homeless.
I will SAY this to those critics, yes housing isn’t guaranteed here, but some of us who are going through tough times, SHOULD EXPECT more from our government, rather than the folks at Wall Street, right?
Oh wait a doggone Minute! I can still remember it; the constitution says “it is government by the people, for the people, NOT government by Wall Street, for Wall Street and the RICH.” Oh yeah, I finally got it. What a BUNCH of Behe-morons we’ve got as politicians!
