So, over the past fifteen years, the cost of living has skyrocketed infamously in the U.S. Many wealthy people somehow can't connect this with the concurrent increase in homelessness. Now the chief bull in the china shop, Donald Trump, has taken over the police and deployed the National Guard to deal with the problem in Washington D.C. Is he going to send people to prison for being homeless? These aren't even immigrants, illegal or otherwise, so there's no country to send them back to. I guess like the cops occasionally already do, they'll pick up the most unsightly and drive them to another town where optics aren't quite as important.

This delusion rich people tend to have about poor people is nothing new. I like to repeat the old canard about beggars who go home to their mansions every night in sports cars, because somehow collecting nickels and dimes all day in all kinds of weather can facilitate that lifestyle. It's amazing what defenses the mind will put up to protect itself from cognizance of its own guilt. People will convince themselves of the most absurd things. This is why wealthy countries produce such great horror movies about ghosts and zombies. It's all repressed issues.

Is anyone still under the impression Trump is looking out for the little guy?
