You have ZERO clue, none, nada, less. Have you ever been to a homeless camp or to one of the facilities ever? Have you ever dealt with this population? Somehow I doubt from your completely ignorant and un-compassionate diatribe. Lets start with a few basic facts many of these people suffer from mental illness and have zero chance of getting a job like ever. These are the people who would have been locked up before Reagan. Second many suffer from substance abuse and thus are not employable. Many suffer from both, in any event they are in ever sense less fortunate than you and I. Yes there are some who refuse to get a clue, and I have real heart burn about that.  Many people are one paycheck, one hospital bill one broken car away from homlessness. Once there it is very, very difficult to keep and maintain a job. "What you do to the least of these you do to me". Ever hear that?
