Does America need foreign aid for the homeless?
I watch the Al-Jazeera news about the number of homeless people that’s growing in numbers in the United States due to high rates of joblessness.The foreclosures of housing and realastates is sky rocketing at this period that forces the locals to leave their houses.To tell you the truth,i’m shocked to see and hear what had happened in United States today.The tent cities in every states is growing like a refugee camp which reminds me of the Katrina hurricane victims but this time it’s a very different kind of Katrina that is hitting the whole nation.It also reminds me of the homeless people that lives in camps such as in Iraq.I guess it’s pretty hard to live in America nowdays cuz if you lose your job,you lose your house.
I don’t know what kind of help my country can give to those poor people.Perhaps free tents and a little bit of food supplies might ease the pain for these poor homeless people since we saw very little that the American government can do to help them.I mean,think of the kids.they need to go to school.and how about the sick,the pregnant and the old people?Will the government help them if needed?I hope the cops won’t cut of their tents and kick them out to easy.They are human beings like us to.
"Land of the brave,home of the free".These words needs a whole new definition.

Al-Jazeera is the last place you should watch if you want reliable news about what is going on in America. 90% of what they have to say is propaganda. It is very good of you to worry about poor people , but no one in America is starving and no police will tear down anybodies tent or chase people away. Those things may happen in other countries but not here.

America has about 40 million people living at or below the poverty line. With the free market society, not everybody is created equal. sad but true.
