Our should never ever have to worry about getting their basic needs met. It breaks my heart to think any child puts their head down on a shelter pillow every night, wondering and wishing for a home and a bed that is truely theirs and a place to call home. How can our goverment send millions to other countries in aid when our own people suffer everyday here in the US. Its so insaine and yet I'm suppose to be proud to be an American. Were has our values gone? Too Hell I suppose.

this is sickening that our govt. can get away with doing this to our children, who infact are our future. when i see the faces of our homes children, it makes me hurt for them, and hate our govt. people need the opportunity for jobs, NOT LIED TO AND PUSHED ASIDE! they take our taxes, and don't use it for what it was intended for. VOTE RELIGION OUT OF OFFICE, AND SEE THE CHANGES!
EVEN IN JAIL YOU WON'T STARVE, SO UNCLE SAM SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IT EITHER!
