You said, and I quote "The "right" probably doesn't figure they need to fix other people's problems." If homelessness is a problem in America, I'd personally think of it as an American problem, not as a partisan issue. It should not be either "other people's problems" or a photo-op. We ought to be able to actually figure out a solution.
YOU were the one asking what the "right" is doing about it?
Whether you like it or not, it is other people's problems..... as in personal responsibility..... generally speaking. The problem gets worse with simple handouts in lieu of access to programs.
