   In “Throw the bums out” by John Derbyshire, homeless people had invaded a new library and there wasn’t much that could be done about it. The matter of fact was that government money was being put to support homeless people. Therefore the population of homeless people did not decrease but actually increase for having at-ease facilities provided by government, instead of getting a job and a home. While in “The meanest cities” by America, it talks about homeless people being targeted if seen in public as a crime. The article talks about how this criminal record would make it impossible for homeless people to find a job. In “Brother, don’t spare a dime” it brings both sides into view with the harsh reality put into retrospect, how helping homeless people who do not want to better themselves literally destroys the chances for others who are “temporarily homeless.” Basically the vast majority of homeless people want to live like that because it is far easier for them, while there are programs that do help people who are temporarily homeless to get back on their feet.
