More mental illness help is desperately needed, we agree on that
The problem is the liberal media has portrayed every homeless person or poor person as mentally ill
Some are, but some are just lazy and make horrible life choices
I say help the working poor
If someone works a minimum wage job they need help
Believe it or not, the help they need is hindered by the fact they work because the income thresholds for getting help are so low that it ACTUALLY BENEFITS THEM MORE TO NOT WORK
ANYONE can get a minimum wage job if not mentally or physically disabled
If all the focus went into helping people who are willing to work and dropping those that don't, not only would people get help but it would force the unwilling to work crowd to sink or swim
If they won't work and have kids, take the kids
Personal responsibility doesn't mean people don't make mistakes, it just means there needs to be an incentive to work
Obviously if you take people's kids kids away, that would take a huge budget to do, but it is still better than the alternative
These are just off the top of my head
I have never seen ONE liberal who has presented ONE viable solution to the problem other than "helping poor people", whatever that means
Are there flaws in any plan, of course
Could you imagine if some of these common sense viable strategies were ever implemented??
Liberals would scream bloody murder
Taking kids away from someone who won't work for them?? Unconstitutional, racist, blah, blah, blah
Lol, I just realized I quoted the wrong post
I meant to quote Optional
I guess maybe I am not as smart as I thought
