I think I'd take from the military, too. Make it 90% national defense only and national aid, able. And 10% peacekeepers for missions abroad. The
extra money would go into a nation wide "Help the homeless" program similar to what NYC uses.
From what I gather, tax money was used to buy existing run down buildings and warehouses, they were converted into small suites, homeless people were
registered and placed into a suite, and they began work and/or training programs to agressively get them back into the workforce wherever they fit.
(Or agressive substance abuse rehabilitation programs, if need be).
I'd modify it as I looked deeper into it I'm sure but I do think it's a good aproach.
Another quick thanks for the interest and flags this thread has recieved. My "Your own world" thread, didn't do anywhere near as well for some
reason.
