There are national, state and local reasons why poverty and homelessness exists. Democrats have dominated this state for years so since it is important to you try and frame the issue as Republicans fault only, I'm pointing out the facts to you.
I've read plenty on our country's history. I've read plenty on world history. At no time has there ever not been hungry and homeless folks.
We have the highest poverty rate in the country in California. What has our compassion and empathy done for us so far in that regard?
Sorry, boo boo........you can never point out a fact to me as long as you support the right wing ideology. They don't even deal in reality.
However, I can point out a fact to you......racist white men have been in power and in charge of this country since they stole it from the native Americans. What ever stage we are at, however our society is.....it's because of them. They are still governing as they did decades ago. Nothing has changed, they have not evolved, and they are doing every thing they can to keep control.....which is mostly oppression.
Like I said, you are not ready to discuss the real root of the problem. You're simplistic view of red and blue states leads me to that conclusion.
