A quote to the government: Help the homeless people! That’s what I got to say to the government considering homeless people. Don’t you people think that there are too many homeless people around and that the government should help them? Well I do. It’s sad to know that poverty is still in this world; there are homeless people on streets, almost ready to die.

The homeless people deserve their rights, because they are human beings too, just like all of us. They are no different from us at all. Poor or rich, we all are humans. We all live, eat, drink and also need a lot of things. But some things that we need in order to live, the homeless people can’t get them because they are poor. They don’t have enough money to just buy the things that they need and want. In other words, they can’t get their needs and wants. But unlike them, the rich people get whatever they want because they have no lack in money. That's the only difference between the rich people and the homeless people-that the homeless people don't have enough money. Other than that, they have no difference than that.

If the government doesn't start helping soon, then the number of homelessness is going to increase. Since the government isn't helping the homeless people, each year homelessness occurs. Since the government isn't helping the government, the number of homeless is increased by 40% since 1995. According to www.Nationalhomeless.org, in 2003, 12.5% of the US population is living in poverty. That’s 35.9 million people.

Some people think that the government will be wasting a lot of money. But the government shouldn't believe that they will be wasting money, they will be just trying to help the homelessness to decrease not increase. If the government just gives them a home then at that minute the homelessness start decreasing. The government is kind of starting to help out the homeless people, but not that much that the number of homeless is going to decrease. If the government starts helping, then United States would be a better place. I think that the government should help the homeless people.

So now you I hope that you have also have agreed with me to why the government should help the homeless people. If the government doesn’t start helping the homeless people, the number of homeless people is going to increase. Some people disagree with me because they think the government is going to be wasting a lot of money. But I am not saying that the government should make the homeless people rich. What I am saying is that the government should just give them a small home and a job, and after that they could go on to their on. It's not hard to just get a job well, at least for the government. In fact, you can also help the homeless people by donating things to them. Help them out because someday you might need help and there might be somebody there to help you out. You can never know!
