Look at the European Union. First crises the people panic, protest and want to throw it out the window. Great example for a Union and people worry what going to happen to the US.
The fact is actual homeless people make up a very tiny percentage of the us population and
So you would state that one million children in the are homeless make a very tiny percentage of the nation population? The US Department of Education found that of these 1,065,794 children, many lived in abandoned homes, cheap hotels, stations, church basements and hospitals. Some spent their time sleeping over at the houses of various friends whenever they could.Number of homeless students hits new record: Over 1 million ? RT USA

It's only 1% of the population under the age of 18 and less than .3% of the total population of the country, so yes, it is a very tiny percentage.
Until you've traveled through some 3rd world slums like i have i don't think you can be making your statement. The worst looking neighborhood you can find in the US will still look 10X better than this:
The US regardless of it's problems still has actual basic infrastructures in places. Something many 3rd world countries do not.
Not sure about this statement: ( those are just few examples ) this looks very similar...
The annual income of someone earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour ($15,080) is 35% below the federal poverty level for a family of four ($23,050), and even at $10/hour falls short,
Two-thirds of all minimum wage workers have remained below this poverty line since 1959, when the federal poverty level was first established, and
While some states have a higher minimum wage than the federal level, 28% of all American workers still get paid at or below the level required to stay above the poverty line.
These statistics show that 20% of America's workers do not make a living wage.
Your budget hasn't been balanced for years and you debt has been rising. Also how can you compare a country that has a population smaller then Los Angeles county.
Only 5 million people live in you country you should have no deficit.
Deficit has been declining because the politicians are on it Didn't you see the graph I posted?
As you can see, Finland doesn't really have debt compared to other western states:
I really can't see your point. Because the US has many people it's normal to have debt? Sounds legit
It's only 1% of the population under the age of 18 and less than .3% of the total population of the country, so yes, it is a very tiny percentage.
Yet it does not include the adult population. There is a much bigger population of Americans over 18 years old.
In addition the number of Americans using foodstamps is high.
The country's poverty rate remains at 15 percent and a record 47.7 million people use food stamps.
Meeting the demand has been hard, and many places had to portion out aid in 2012, the survey found.
In 95 percent of the cities surveyed, food pantries cut the amount of food each person received and soup kitchens reduced meal sizes. In almost all the cities, pantries capped people's monthly visits as well. More than half the cities said homeless families with children were denied shelter in 2012.

The guy of Canadian Government who wrote this guide about Brazil he does not visit Brazil and he does not know nothing about Brazil.
My mistake. Obviously it makes more sense to listen to anonymous posters on an internet message board than it would the Canadian Government Travel Advisory website.
Obviously you never heard of the term snow bird. Look it up and get educated.
People move to locations, with better weather because every country in the world has the same quality of like if you make a decent pay check or money,I can live in Mexico better then I can in Finland or the Mid west of the US. Only thing Europe could gloat about before was Free Heath Care, which the US will have something better in a couple years.
Most US cities have shelters and section 8, but remember we don't baby are people.
