Enabling????

While the majority of the one's being enabled continue to leach. (Notice I said majority...meaning I'm acknowledging the minority of outliers who will not be tempted to the life of enablement)...The outliers are making an effort to break the cycle of enabling dependency. Bravo! *hands clapping *

Considering how much we spend on the military to protect domestic war criminals and the filthy rich, I would not mind some of my tax dollars to build a tent for drunks. They are obviously trying to drown out their life.

Then by all means feel free to supplement them from your own funds as you see fit.

If they chose to use some of my federal tax dollars for it I would not have an issue. Because of how much taxes were taken out of me in the past to protect the rich and war criminals I dont have much to give personally.

I am certain that our tax dollars are already being funneled to help them.

I despise my tax dollars being funneled to pay for bank bail outs or Wall Street scandals.

I would rather see that money going to help pay off student loans debts or better yet pay for serious college students tuition.

The reason that wal street gets away with it is due to military protection and our extreme police state that defends these people from most retaliation of their actions.

When your taxes pay for the military industrial complex that is not paying to protect your freedom, it is paying to protect the rich, war criminals and economic war criminals. The military, for the most part, preys on desperate young people who cant make it in the civilian job market and get them for CHEAP to do the bidding of the rich and we pay for the equipment for them to do so. Very expensive very high tech equipment that keeps retaliation in check and allows the rich to get richer in peace.

It is impossibe for such wealth disparity to exist without a massive police/military state because otherwise we would have a revolution.

As long as the student loan pay offs are retro active, mine are already paid off but it put me WAY behind in life.

I am all for a revolution! The US is on a sinking ship full of dumbed down anti-science fools. The Military Industry Complex is an old worn out concept that serves nothing good.

The US government benefits from having a dumbed down population. They have been dumbing down our population for years and years.

Instead of being angry at the clowns in power it would be better to educate the people who put them in office.

Strange comment, you don't want the homeless living on the sidewalk but you consider providing them with a cot in a tent to be "enabling"

It's a tax subsidized entitlement provided by taxpayers on their DIME. There are plenty of other adults who don't live on the sidewalk (myself included) that aren't asking for free handouts.

What do taxpayers get back from housing an adult for free in perpetuity?

Why not just give them some medically assisted suicide? Would be cheaper.
