[AT] Here's one for you Mattias

Mattias we have those same sorts of programs here although structured 
differently than where you are.  The reason you see folks living as they do 
in some places here is because of their personal choices.  Many of them 
prefer living "on the street" to being swept into the system and being cared 
for.
There is a great deal of charitable giving in the US in addition to what the 
government does with social programs.  People in the USA are for the most 
part FREE and that means they are free to be homeless or to live in squalor 
if they so choose.    There are most certainly those who fall trough the 
cracks in the system, need help and don't get it but it is not by intent of 
the US gov't or the many charitable organizations in the US.

Thank you Grant,
I believe we knew about the differences but that it became so obvious to
Magdalena when she was there. She is very sensitive and caring. We have a
totally different system as you all know we pay our taxes and then the
government uses it for charity and aid for needing all over the world. This
makes people not so willing to give more to charity from their already taxed
money.
