I feel like ranting, and its my blog, so there

I just feel like ranting. I have been so worried. I finally got my ear surgery, on my left ear. Im working again, Im a waitress. My job is actually up in the air, but thats another story. What I want to rant about , is the homeless and mentally ill. I work overnight, cant say the name of where I work, I could get in trouble for that. It doesnt matter, Im a waitress, in an area with a lot of homeless, mentally ill, and people addicted to drugs. A lot of them wonder into my work wanting help, or fishing for something free, which i find understandable. People say "Why dont they get a job!" They tell me I work hard for my money , and lets face it, I can barely pay my bills. COME ON PEOPLE! This is America, and with internet, cable, and the media, you people should be so much better informed about our homeless. The majority are mentally ill, have no family, and the government has just put them out on their own, more than likely because of the insurance crisis. They have no recourse or should I say "resource" but to beg , borrow , and steal. What else can they do? Do you have an answer? I don't. Unless our Government does something for the mentally ill, homeless people, it will never end. The next time you run into someone, who is definately homeless and mentally ill. It will be obviouse, believe me. Give'm a couple bucks. The price of a cup of coffee, can brighten their day. Im not saying endanger yourself. After all, they are mentally ill. You have to be carefull. But have a heart, they cannot help the situation they are in, and have swept under the rug, by our government. And thats all I have to say about that.
