1<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 We have arrived at the breaking point.\u00a0 <\/p>\nIn fact, the only thing that has postponed our collapse is the fact that the US government is printing money day and night, with absolutely nothing to back it except “the good faith and credit of the United States government.”\u00a0 Our entire economy is built upon a promise to pay.\u00a0 But with what shall we pay?\u00a0 We are bankrupt, and our gold reserves won’t touch our national debt.\u00a0 The only thing we can promise is our future ability to earn, or our natural resources yet untapped.\u00a0 Rest assured, the globalist banksters are looking forward to taking that as well.
\n In the meantime, the Homeless are precipitating a crisis in all major cities.\u00a0 In San Francisco, instead of dealing with the crisis, they have passed city ordinance nullifying laws against defecating on the streets!\u00a0 The Democrats actually salivate over this problem \u2013 they LOVE to have the dispossessed and huddling masses lined up to receive government benefits.\u00a0 They know they can count on those people to keep on voting “money from the rich to the poor.”\u00a0 This is not a war on poverty at all \u2013 it is a war on the rich \u2013 the productive element of society.\u00a0 It is nothing short of Karl Marx’s program to take from the rich and give to the poor.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
There was a time when every county in America had what was loosely referred to as, “The Poor Farm.”\u00a0 Usually situated on the edge of town, or even in the country, these institutions took care of people who were either admitted, or sometimes remanded by the courts, to these homes.\u00a0 They were institution of charity, but they ran on principles somewhat foreign to the concept today.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Once admitted, you got a physical examination immediately, and if you were capable of working, you were given an assignment and you worked.\u00a0 It may have been kitchen duty, or maybe yard maintenance, or perhaps working in large gardens they kept to keep food costs low.\u00a0 Those who could do so were allowed to keep their dignity by working around the place.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Today we would have to add security to the place, and probably high fencing around these farms, even if they are 20 to 50 acres in size.\u00a0 Counseling should be available to see if some people need placing in a mental institution.\u00a0 Others might be salvageable, and efforts should be made to return them to their families, where possible. <\/p>\n
Objections to this idea, because of cost, are nonsensical.\u00a0 Take the money we’re currently giving people to spend on alcohol and drugs, and apply it to the common sense solution of Poor Farms.\u00a0 In addition, the financial burden on a community where these vagrants abound is enormous.\u00a0 When a person is picked up for vagrancy, they would be send to the Poor Farm for evaluation.\u00a0 In the presence of a magistrate, perhaps the Justice of the Peace, it would be explained to them that they have three choices:<\/p>\n
\n- Go to the Poor Farm, where you will be cared for;<\/li>\n
- Go to jail until extradited “home” or to a relative; <\/li>\n
- Get out of the county right now.\u00a0 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I recognize that many Homeless cherish their “freedom” and will fight before they go to an institution.\u00a0 That is their decision \u2013 but they cannot continue to panhandle and defecate on our city streets.\u00a0 Once adjudicated, their income stops and their presence is to be regarded as a public nuisance, and they should be removed from the streets for a plethora of reasons.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Subsidizing people for past sixty years has not worked.\u00a0 We have enabled them to live in open rebellion to society and to their parents and to their spouses, and to the norms of society \u2013 a social experiment which, to put it politely, has failed miserably.\u00a0 It’s time to end the stupidity and start applying common sense to the problem. \u00a0This approach stops starvation on the streets; stops infectious diseases from spreading rampantly in tent cities; stops panhandling on the streets; stops the crime wave and reduces the drug use significantly.\u00a0 (One may even argue for supplying drugs to addicts in a safe, clean environment, but that should require a different location, if adopted.)<\/p>\n
So here’s the New Common Sense Program:<\/p>\n
\n- If you receive any kind of benefit from the government, which you did not earn, then you forfeit your right to vote until such time as you can take care of yourself again.<\/em><\/li>\n
- \u00a0If you insist on staying in our county, you will either go to the Poor Farm, or you will go to jail.<\/em><\/li>\n
- You are not being imprisoned.\u00a0 If mentally competent, you may be out-processed to another county, including going to live with family or friends.\u00a0 If you find a job, you may go to it and work, and hopefully get back on your feet.<\/em><\/li>\n
- All tent cities will be razed and the tents put to use on the border to house illegal immigrants.\u00a0 <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
