When politicians knowingly make decisions that will not benefit the majority, they try to divert our attention from the real issues.
Present leaders have done a terrible job with our economy. Their policies benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor. So, what do they do? They try to have us believe that the homeless are to blame for being homeless. If we do, then we are distracted from the real issue: rising prices and shrinking wages that make more people homeless daily and an economy that creates homelessness, not addresses it.
Don’t be deceived. Put the blame where it truly lies, and demand action before we and our children end up homeless as well.
