Homless Encampment

 

You can see the homeless camps from th freeway, they used to stay under the bridges. In Florida mostly in the woods.

Nearly 50 Million Americans Below the Line…

Child Poverty, Hunger Rates Remain Alarmingly High...

 

No job, no money …: NO FUTURE. Obama stole that from our young. It’s what happens when socialism descends on our nation. Equal misery for all, at least we are now all equal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hottest Year Ever Update: “There are reportedly 150,000 homeless people in Delhi, and as the city drifts into the throes of a cold snap, there are fears many will not survive the harsh winter”

Harsh winter raises concerns for Delhi’s homeless | ABC Radio Australia

Activists in the Indian capital are calling on the government to show more warmth to the city’s homeless, after it was revealed thousands are dying each year.

Another winter has descended on Delhi, and already hundreds of homeless are trembling in their thin blankets on cold pavements under flyovers and the sidewalks.

There are reportedly 150,000 homeless people in Delhi, and as the city drifts into the throes of a cold snap, there are fears many will not survive the harsh winter.

Delhi Police records pulled out by activists using the Right to Information showed 6,861 homeless deaths were reported from 2007 to 2011 across five districts in the capital.

Under Barack Obama: Deep Poverty Is At Record High Level, Homeless Families Are On The Rise, And The Media Is Silent

Fools Fall For EVERYTHING, if you stand for nothing. Obama is coming to town today, to do some more community organizing. When are people going to tell this joker to take a hike.

A record one in seven Americans using food stamps today thanks to Barack Obama.

But that’s not all.
Barack Obama is also the poverty and pain president.

Under Obama 6.4 million Americans are living below the poverty line and there is a record number of Americans living in deep poverty.

PJ Media reported:

The nation’s homelessness czar in the George W. Bush administration says that programs enacted back then have had a dramatic effect on cutting the chronically homeless population, but warns that families are increasingly being left out in the cold as the economy struggles to recover.

“There have never been as many poor people in our country as there are now,” Philip F. Mangano told PJM today, adding that the “highest number ever in the history of our country” are living in “deep poverty,” which is 50 percent below the poverty line and under.

“One of the great indicators of homelessness is poverty,” he said. “Poverty is the waystation before you fall into homelessness.” And with the economic indicators such as the unemployment rate stagnant as they have been, “you can anticipate more people falling into homelessness.”

They’re startling, tragic facts that rarely make headlines in a campaign dominated by conversations about the middle class and a Congress inundated in debate over middle- and upper-income tax cut extensions.

“The poverty rate has never jumped higher than in the past few years and the media is silent on it,” Mangano said. “Most media coverage is focused on middle-class trauma during the recession, not focused on the very poor.”

With Obama we have more and more poverty and more and more pain.
America can’t take four more years of his failed policies.

Michael Bloomberg’s New York Nannystate Bans Food Donations

Banning food donations for homeless people. Ever heard of something so stupid?

America is rapidly becoming a “Nannystate.” In the name of protecting us from ourselves, the government at all levels is taking an active interest in what we eat, where we live, and in all kinds of decisions that seem to be best left to personal choice.

In the latest iteration of “Nannystateism,” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the bureaucrats who work for him have now determined that no one be allowed to donate food to the city’s homeless shelters on the grounds that it may be unhealthy.

It defies common sense, the idea that an empty belly is somehow healthier than one that contains trans fats, salt, or other food additives the Bloombergers have determined are not fit for human consumption.

Honey when is our flight to Paris? Our jet should be ready at noon.

“In conjunction with a mayoral task force and the Health Department, the Department of Homeless Services has recently started enforcing new nutritional rules for food served at city shelters. Since DHS can’t assess the nutritional content of donated food, shelters have to turn away good Samaritans,” writes the National Center for Public Research’s Jeff Stier in Monday’s New York Post .

“A new inter-agency document controls what can be served at facilities—dictating serving sizes as well as salt, fat, and calorie contents, plus fiber minimums and condiment recommendations,” Stier writes.

Cold Kills

Belgrade – A cold wave sweeping across Europe has killed more than 420 people since late January, many of them homeless, and weather reports on Monday forecast more snow and frigid temperatures for the week.

Ice floes drift on the Oder river in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, 06 February 2012. A cold spell has reached Europe with temperatures plummeting far below zero

The snow has thrown transportation out of gear, blocked arterial roads and cut off remote villages in many areas.

Four more people froze to death in Ukraine, which so far has the most victims in eastern Europe at 135. About 2,000 people were hospitalized for treatment from exposure to the -30 degrees Celsius temperatures.

In Poland, nine people have died since Sunday, bringing the death toll from late January to 61, the Interior Ministry said. Officials urged citizens to check heaters as some people have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Moscow’s municipal authorities said one man died from exposure overnight Monday, raising the death toll in the city to 63. Russian meteorologists said starting Wednesday, night temperatures were forecast to drop below -30 Celsius in Moscow, the Interfax news agency reported.

Serbia’s 10th victim froze to death in his unheated home in a village near Cuprija, 120 kilometres south-east of Belgrade, reported B92 online Monday, a day after the authorities declared a nationwide emergency situation because of the persistent snowfall and deep freeze.
