2 days ago, the USA Today said homelessness fell 30% from 2002 till 2007. Of course, since that doesn't help your argument, you can spin it or ignore it as you chose. BTW, veterans have access to VA hospitals and many types of preferential hiring and education programs. The average veteran is a far more stable, worldly and engaged citizen than the average product of the public schools who never really ventures far from home. There are homeless veterans, but to insinuate that a change of unemployment from 5% (now and very low) to 4.5% will put them all in a 1400 sq ft Rancher with a car port, pick up truck, and a job with their name embroidered on their shirt pocket is a hollow argument indeed.
