If I hear one more time from a government official, "We can't do it alone. It takes all of us." I might just scream!
If this government has enough money to start illegal wars at a cost of billions of $s, then YES, GOVERNMENT SURE COULD HOUSE OUR OWN PEOPLE AT HOME!
I seriously thought the finale would be that Wally stole it from your plate and ate it before you even had a chance to taste it.

Sometimes it's really hard to express what I want to say. So I reman silent.
Other times, all I want to say is, "Told you so!" But I didn't speak up before, so I can't say it.

"The measure of a city’s homelessness response is not how many reports it produces or how many plans it writes. It is whether people survive long enough to benefit from them." - Will Connelly.
"One potential result...is actually a reduction in total rents paid. Having an undocumented person in the house pushes a family’s monthly rent higher, since that person doesn’t get a subsidy. Many housing programs rely on those higher rent payments to fund some of their operations."
