I hope mercy will be extended to me as a stump and bump along with my first blog. It has been my desire for some time to contribute in some way on a number of issues concerning deliberate misconceptions set forth by conservatives and those who are encouraged by them. Homelessness is one of those issues. Homeless people have been labeled as drug-addicts, drunks, or just plain lazy. The Reagan Administration in 1987 instituted budget cuts that virtually put disabled veterans from the VA hospitals and those being cared for in nursing homes onto the streets because they were required to show financial need to receive care and those who were not put out received reduced care. This is from an ideology that glorifies the military.
