Should We Help the Homeless
Helping the Homeless?
Coming home to a warm bed, with food, water, and resources is taken for granted by most people in America. What if all of that was suddenly snatched from you forcing you and possibly your family out to the streets with everything you own on your back. This might not even graze your mind that this could be possibility, but this is reality fir over 100 million people worldwide. With the downturn of the economy, and many natural disasters occurring this number is continuing to grow putting many more people out on the streets. This is an unsafe environment for people to live in not only adults are effected by this but many kids are growing up without homes and proper care. There needs to be changes in our system to help aid these less fortunate people, providing affordable housing, or giving them financial aid wouldn’t solve this problem completely, but it would be a start to helping millions of people get the help they deserve.
The first reason that we should help homeless people is because The United States is wealthy enough to afford it. In our country we believe in unity, and that we’re only as strong as our weakest citizen. The United States is one of the top economic powers in the world. Our government should be able to provide aid for these homeless citizens. We are currently wasting millions of dollars in flawed program’s that don’t benefit our country. These wasted dollars could be spent more productively, perhaps giving financial aid to people who have nothing. There are millions of our own people in critical poverty conditions, or out on the streets who are in need of this help.
The Unites States is currently the third most affluent nation with per capita per capita gross domestic product GDP of $45,511. We also have one of the largest rich-poor gaps of any high-income nation today. This means that the rich just keep getting rich and the poor poorer, leading to an increase in poverty and a struggle to gain wealth for people who need
