1. I believe many people are homeless today because our government spends billions and trillions of dollars on weapons, and many other useless materials. when we should be focusing on how to help first and foremost the people then the government. because not only are we in a 19 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT!!!! but there our people like veterans who have dedicated they're life to us and who we value as heroes when they have that uniform on.

5 In the past homeless teenagers had no resources for help, basically if your homeless your screwed. but today you have resources to find a way to get a job or if your not old enough you can be given to a foster home. so today just because you are homeless doesn't mean you can become a millionaire or a billionaire.
