No one that I know of is denying that Iraq is messy...it's war, that happens. WWII, Korea and especially Vietnam was VERY messy. There are A LOT of poor people in the U.S., no one is denying that. There could be a lot less if people would seize the opportunity but the truth is some people are ok with their status because they are not competitive or are used to the lifestyle. There are those that need help and we should help them. The country is NOT on the verge of financial turmoil but actually in the middle of financial turmoil but I have faith we will make it. Just like the tech bubble of a few years ago or the markets going way down after 9/11...we will recover.
John Edwards is using that as something to put his name in lights. There are some homeless soldiers but I don't know how that happens because when you get out of the military there are about 100 safety nets for you to keep you from being that way. It's a sad situation and should be addressed regardless of someone being a republican or a democrat.
