Well, for starters, as stated on a previous thread, how about that 82 billion dollars that was just given to the war on Iraq?
I'm sure that money can be used to help one of the big issues, ie. homeless, crime, education, health.

NINE MILLION AMERICANS ARE OUT OF WORK SINCE BUSH CAME TO OFFICE. THEY HAD JOBS! THEY WERE WORKING, DEMON!
The only way to fix America is to get the Bush adminstration out of office, the repugnant pigs in Congress out, and have a President in there that can get Americans working again---LIKE THE LAST PRESIDENT!

You need to Educate the poor, send them to schools, open more facilities that provide healthcare for cheaper rates.

I had to work my way through undergraduate school as well. I almost didn't make it. I found myself working two jobs at one time. I worked crap jobs with no tuition plans, because it was all I could get: I was forced to work in areas of town where used condoms were in the parking lot and people were robbing gas stations with shotguns across the street. My point? THANK GOODNESS for the government handouts that were given to me. I couldn't have done it without Uncle Sam. Now I'm giving back, I teach others.
College costs are out of control. I work at a medium-sized state university that averages about $5,500 for in-state, nonresidential students. (Living on campus is about $11,000). Undergrads pay anywhere from $300-$800 a quarter for books. They also need to pay for healthcare; If you get the basic "keep you from dying" care from school, (which doesn't include dental, eye, etc.) it costs $128 a quarter. Parking permits cost $55. A lunch costs around $8.
No, my university isn't in California. It's in the midwest. And mine is one of the cheapest in the state !!
College is the best way to get quality citizens.

America's problems can't be solved, IMO. The gov't is too corrupt. We should abolish them completely, and start from scratch, just like Jefferson and other forefathers suggested. This establishment is beyond repair. If I believed that it could be repaired (and I don't), I'd suggest a total Libertarian gov't. That's what America was built on, and that's the way it should be.

I doubt this is true. Are you talking about welfare? Unemployment? Homeless people get practically nothing, unless they have children and/or have a work history. Show me that this is true. BTW, I have a friend in SF, so it's not a problem for me to find out the truth. This sounds like 100% bull#, to me.
