The government isn’t responsible for anyone. Each individual is response for themselves. The government can eat TRASH.

They need to quit enabling homelessness. It has just become another welfare program.

Per Columbia City Council meeting to discuss a report that outlines efforts to end homelessness, Feb 06, 2022 on KMIZ news.

Max

The City has increased funding for homeless from $62,200 in 2016 to $302,346 in 2022, by reducing funding to children, youth, and family services, and mental health services. Way to go Columbia.

Larry Sabulsky

I think the community needs to step up and help the homeless. When are all of you going to realize the Government is not going to fix your/our problems. They have created the majority of the problems we face today.

Advocates for the homeless say the city could open the shelter more often and enhance services.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

I haven't watched a baseball game since the late 80's. Just not my thing.
