I just do not think it works. And I want to be humane. We have a moral obligation to the least of these, folks who do not have a place to live, but there has got to be a better way to do this.
if you have an oath, why do we have to have a constitutional amendment in order for Congress to do what is best for the country?
We have something we call 'maintenance of effort' that we use in other programs, educational programs, when there is Federal money, we say to States, 'You have to maintain effort.'
