1. "So many" is still a tiny number compared to the total population. The economy can be good without reaching impossible perfection for every person.
2. A significant proportion of the homeless choose to live that way over their available options to live in a home. Why should we deny them agency to make their own choices?
A quick google brought up 552,830 homeless one night in 2018. That is about 17 per 10,000 people. If one’s heart is small enough, and of course you happen not to be one of the half million, you can ignore them.
This is one of the differences between red and blue. Does making life better for more really hurt those who have no need? Is there a floor below which you should strive to provide protection? Some hearts are just harder than others.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
