HOW Many Kids Are Homeless In America??
A study came out this week that made me snicker. It CLAIMED that 1 in 50 American children experienced homelessness in the two year period of 2005-2006. I snickered not out of cold heartedness. I snickered because I knew in my bones that the statistic was a FARCE. It was IMPOSSIBLE. More fear mongering and hysteria to get us to dump trillions more into programs that never solve our problems in the first place. The study has one major flaw in it. It’s WRONG. It set out to find homeless kids and it found them, no matter how they had to go about finding them. Guess how they did it? They included kids that weren’t homeless at all! If a child is indeed IN A HOME, even if it’s a relative’s home…does that count as HOMELESS?? It did in THIS study. It’s PURE HOGWASH. They purposefully OVER REPRESENTED the homeless child stats by including more than ONE MILLION kids who were, in fact, living in a home. Shame, shame, shame. It’s just like the statistics that the gun grabbers love to put out there
