true, true but in this day and age do we have enough open space for 6.5 million to go unnoticed?
Sure we see videos of tent cities but all the vid's I've seen have nowhere near that number...
Lets face it 6.5 million isn't just a group were talking hordes of your proverbial unwashed masses
Someones hiding something big...

I believe a good majority would go to live withfamily or friends. If you think about it not all households had mom dad and 2.5 kids. Alot could be couples without kids , or kids grown and moved away. Some would be singles just living alone. If I had family or good friends I really cared about, and knew they were in need due to no fault of thier own I would have no problem letting them live with me.
And here in Atl Ga when you watch the news it shows homeless shelters. And they are filled to capacity, and some are familys. Sad times we are currently living in.

I have to question how many of those college degrees are for something marketable? I went back to college at age 37 for engineering. In many of my classes there were students with majors in subjects like Romance Languages, Music and English Literature. Not exactly career choices that would leave them competative in recession job market.
...I have since changed my mind. I look forward to seeing him every morning.............................when he hands me my bagel and coffee at the drive-thru. It makes the six year struggle to get my degree worth every minute of it.

If it makes you feel any better, though, there are still plenty of homeless people here in New York City.
