minus-squareSCB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 years ago The US has been running a trade deficit for five decades This is not a bad thing. It means we are wealthy enough to import more than we export, which is the ideal for a mature, modern economy. Also a 12 percent homeless rate This is just completely false. Homeless rate is 18/10,000 - closer to 0.2% than 12% It seems you got this number from here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/united-states-homeless-rates-2023-numbers-soaring-rents/14188561/ This is discussing a rate of increase, not the actual homeless rate. I agree that there are far better things for Congress to focus on, but we need to live in reality too
