umbrarchist affecting Yeah. You and Cynique really belong together...lol. Is that why there are so many homeless people? I don't recall this in the 90s, or is that sarcasm I see before me. You're right. There are far more homeless people on the streets today than in the past, but it has nothing to do with the national debt. There are a list of reasons: 1. The population of the United States in general is higher today than it was in the 90s so the factors that lead to homelessness could remain the same and you'd still see more homeless people on the street. 2. More people are suffering from substance abuse (which often leads to mental illness and homelessness) today than in the 90s. Not just in sheer numbers but a higher percentage of the population. 3. Wages for service industry and manufacturing jobs haven't kept up with the costs of living....especially when it comes to real estate...since the 90s. On top of that, many of the U.S. citizens have been DISPLACED from service industry and manufacturing jobs and REPLACED with illegal immigrants. 4. More and more mental institutions that used to house mentally ill people have closed since the 90s dumping more people on the streets. 5. If there is anything good about the privatization of prisons, the good thing would be if you can't work....the prisons don't want you and will often find reasons to kick you out and set you free so they don't have to take care of you. A lot of people have been dumped out of the prisons and jails and on to the streets since the 90s.

So, you spent 3 hours having your ears burnt up and exposing your eyes to diabetes.🤣😎
