Austin has increasing number of homeless these days. Lots of them are seen begging in street. Almost every intersection here in Austin today is a home of homeless. They have little board saying various problems. The problems vary from person to person but the theme is the same “money”. They are not disable but intellectual because they have so diverse reason in their little board that makes us support them and ultimately support begging. Getting paid $10 in every fifteen minute certainly attracts every one of us but the job is nothing but begging.
The crime is another issue that comes simultaneously with homeless. Robbing, looting, breaking into stores, shoplifting are some very common phenomenon. Lot of them claimed themselves being ignored by the government and in fact they are. United States, the emperor of power and money in the world, has huge number of its citizen being homeless and jobless. The government which can spend billions in Iraq and Afghanistan doesn’t show any effort to work with these poor people. The government which is committed to stop terrorism in world must stop crime and terror within US first and let their resident feel safe. The government which is helping people settle in Iraq, Afghanistan must work to settle their citizens first, and provide them at least the marginal level of human rights.
People are fading up seeing these people in every intersection, as soon as the light turns red, you will see bunch of people walking toward you. How long will we tolerate that? The government is not inefficient to work with, but may be Rick Perry hasn’t encountered any of them. The tinted glass may not show the outside world or it may be difficult to identify who and how many are homeless from the window of a flying plane or from the window of top floor of state capitol.
