I love Rugaber! Figures are 378,000 yet a healthy figure is considered 700,000. And summit, thanks for what? The additional six trillion added to our deficit? The really high unemployment? The millions of near recipients of entitlements? The net loss American jobs? Wake up!!!!

I would personally consider _homelessness_ to be more of an issue central to the economy when compared with more secondary issues such as fulctuations in value of owned & mortgaged housing.

And summit, thanks for what? - I'm thankful that Bush is gone and Romney didn't get a chance to screw up this country any further than the republicans already have.
