Our Issues of the World

Federal & state doesn't care about the nitty-gritty issues: homelessness, drug trafficking, even prostitution; the only ones who care about these issues are the nonprofits. Why doesn't the state and the federal gov'ts care about these issues? Too busy giving tax cuts to the rich and cutting Medicaid for the low-income citizens? These are real issues that people deal with each and everyday of our lives.

If they really want to make a change, start with the real issues that we, common folks, face each day. You may not like it, but it's a fact. We have problems like homelessness, drug trafficking and prostitution everyday. Federal and state gov'ts should ask 'why' people are facing these issues instead of jailing them. They may be homeless because they have no job to pay rent or resources to hold down a job. They may have issues like health problems or no real address to send their paychecks to. People may go into drug trafficking because that is the only way for them to make income. Women sell themselves on the street because they think it is they only way they'll ever survive on the streets. Jail is not the answer to our problems. Rehabilitation is our answer. 

We should listen to those people who are down on their luck, not ostracize them. We should help them, be kind to them. We shouldn't turn away people who need help. We should be understanding of their situation, not lock them up for being poor, misguided homeless and low-income. 

Hope is always around every corner.
