More government = More homeless?

[Antoshka]

In the United States, if you look at the homeless people, then you will find that for most of them the condition was caused as a result of drug addiction, gambling, mental illness.etc. The government can't do much in these cases.

That is in united states how about other countries especially third world countries and developing and underdeveloped currencies in Africa. The government are the major curse of people suffering today. Most of the leaders loot the countries treasury and spent the nation assets In under to remain in power why they countries men are home and live in poverty.

In the third world nations, people don't practice family planning. So the population is increasing, while the resources remain limited. This is the root cause of poverty and homelessness in the third world nations, especially in Africa and Asia.

Yes, in such countries people do not think at all about family planning. They live only for their own pleasure, but they do not care where their children will live.

Can't or won't? In the US there are entire neighborhoods where people live in trailers. it is the richest country!!! I think that people need to educate financial literacy, and it is in the power of the state.

Homeless is a lifestyle. No one can make me live at home and be sober!

In most cases, they can't because people choose to live the way they do, whether they choose to do drugs, join a gang, or just decide they won't work. Also, yes, the US might be the righest country but we're also a very broad and varied country. You just can't compare inner-city Chicago to the California Hills.

I don't think that it's the government's fault why they are homeless. Maybe a part of it (not being able to accommodate everyone). The more at fault is the person himself or herself because they won't land there if it weren't probably for their bad decisions. If you grew up being in poverty, it would be hard to get away with it, but if you do good to people, you would eventually get out of it.

This is not always true if most of the population is poor and there are not many chances to  get out of it then you may end being poor despite your best efforts.

There are more empty homes than homeless - so what does that say about the species!

I agree. Maybe a person from a poor family can work all his life on low-paid work all his life and he will be missed only by food, and he will not earn a living in his whole life.

United States are a third world country by quality of life now, despite high absolute GDP.

Yeah, as long as there are government officials that are corrupt, there will be no ending of countless poverty in every part of the world. They are assigned to a higher position because people are expecting more from those people but sometimes those expectations lead to frustrations, and that's what makes people suffer most.

Not sometimes, but almost always it leads to disappointments and it will always be so. People in power care only about themselves and do not want to think about the lives of others.

I think that says there are misallocation of money in the economy, just look at the bubble and crash and crisis that happened a few years ago that was caused by real estate, people wanted to make money and a bunch of houses that were not needed and that no one could pay were created.

More precisely, they just do not give a chance that they could provide themselves normally. Just others it will be unprofitable.
