Cities Deal With a Surge in Shantytowns

City's are growing with more homeless people on the streets. It's almost like it was a few decades ago when Hoovervilles were popping up. As more people loose their jobs the more people land on the streets, trying to make tents homes under freeways.

President Obama was asked directly about the tent cities and responded by saying that it was “not acceptable for children and families to be without a roof over their heads in a country as wealthy as ours.”

Its such a shame to seeing the rate of homeless people going up as opposed to going down. A strong nation like ours should be able to offer these people jobs so that they can get a roof over their heads and serve food at their dinner table. Its unfortunate to see our economy fall like it has but I'm am positive that we can get these people off the streets and supply them with new jobs like we have done the last time we were in this position.
