The Obama administration has unveiled a plan to end child and family homelessness in 10 years while wiping out chronic homelessness and homelessness among veterans in five years. Well, they said it was a plan. This is actually what it is: "The proposal leaves details to states and communities. Donovan said the homeless would benefit from more ideas outside the nation's capital." Sounds kind of like how he's been in charge on this oil spill from "day one," but he wants somebody else's a_ _ to kick.
So Obama's going to wipe out homelessness, but he doesn't have a clue how to do it, so he's just going to leave it up to the states and cities. Then he'll take all the credit if they accomplish the goal. But since it's doomed to failure, he won't have to take any of the blame, because he told somebody else to do it.
Anyway, I guess he never read that scripture that says we'll always have poor people. That other great Democrat, LBJ, didn't read it, either, when he proposed basically the same "plan" in his war on poverty almost 50 years ago. And we see what a great success that one's been.
