    "summary": "\nThere are over 550,000 homeless on the streets of American cities. 36,000 of those are youths. 38,000 are veterans. And 180,000 are families And if white privilege exists, why is it that white Americans are the largest racial group of homelessness, making up 49 percent of those on the streets. However, things are tough all over as black Americans and native Americans numbers are high compared to their numbers in the general population. And the homeless population is gradually increasing.\n\nAdd to this national crisis, the stark reality that mental illness is rampant amongst the homeless. Because roughly sixty years ago the medical community and federal government saw to it that long term state mental institutions were closed in favor of community centers and pharmaceutical drugs . There are now 14 slots per 100,000 people available for mental health treatment. And private mental health facilities, which dont accept insurance can cost upwards of 30,000 per month. The mental health crisis is in our streets. As a study published in the journal Psychiatric Services estimates 3.4 percent of Americans, 8 million Americans, suffer from serious psychological problems. \n\nPresident Trump has brought awareness to what many have ignored for too long. But liberals are only to happy to cheer lead the despair if it means they will increase their own power.\n\nThomas Jefferson prophesied \" I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.\"\n\nhttps://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/neighbors-on-edge-after-woman-attacked-by-homeless-man-outside-of-sf-condo/\n\nhttps://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2019/08/15/homeless-man-attacked-woman-entering-apartment-building-judge-put-back-streets/\n\nhttps://www.npr.org/2017/11/30/567477160/how-the-loss-of-u-s-psychiatric-hospitals-led-to-a-mental-health-crisis",
