....has to be part of the solution.
Not just the individual involved.
Not just the government.
Not just the family affected.
Not just the society at large.
All of us being part of the solution.
Or else...this problem will and can NEVER be solved. Never.

What does this even mean? Voting? Volunteering at homeless shelter? Contributions?
BIG problem, For richest country on earth that places it's 'budget' priorities in things that benefit a 35-40% minority, keeps them riled up but helps few of those who are marginalized. The solution' needs more than pretty platitudes and nice bumper sticker sayings. It needs $$, and lots of it.
Take a page from some of the NATO countries and per the charter, reduce US DOD budget to that 2% target..Never gonna happen tho..
Maybe a HUD secretary that actually knows what he's doing and not just trying to cut his budget and keep from getting yelled at by the guy in the big seat.
