Amazing but it looks like the poverty pimps are going to try to make homelessness an issue in the next election. Tippy ( my gosh is this exactly the kind of woman a "white boy" would marry? ) was at the press club tittering about it last week and now Hill. Hillary on homeless First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's policies on the homeless yesterday as morally wrong and ineffective, and pledged to secure more money for federally subsidized housing and treatment for the mentally ill if she is elected senator. "Locking people up for a day will not take a single homeless person off the street . . . and will not make a mentally ill person any better," she said at a meeting with about 85 black clergymen. "We must ask ourselves, do we solve problems or simply push them away when we politicize them or even criminalize them?" Mrs. Clinton did not mention Mr. Giuliani by name, but she was clearly referring to his recently announced policies of kicking homeless people out of shelters if they won't work, and putting them in jail if they sleep on the street, the Associated Press reports. Noting that Christmas celebrates "the birth of a homeless child," Mrs. Clinton said the city's new homeless "policies are not only wrong, they will not work and we can do better." "These policies punish poverty rather than helping to lift people out of poverty," she said. washtimes.com; No Hill, Jesus wasn't a homeless child. Mary and Joseph happened to be caught away from home when he was born because they were being jacked around by their government. Things haven't really changed all that much in 2000 years have they?
