Democrat Policies Cause a MASSIVE Increase in the Homeless Population

On a recent 𝕏 post, Bernie Sanders lamented the level of homelessness in the U.S. Sanders declared, 

This is the richest country on earth. 770,000 Americans should not be homeless, and 20 million more should not be spending over half their incomes on rent or a mortgage. We need to invest in affordable housing, not Trump’s massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Sanders post was in response to an AP 𝕏 post that revealed that "the U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness" in 2024. 

This is the richest country on earth.

Senator Ted Cruz had an excellent response to Sanders: 

Hey @BernieSanders why is homelessness so much worse in blue states with the policies you advocate versus red states with policies that encourage getting a job?

California alone has spent BILLIONS of dollars in recent years in order to "fix" homelessness, only to see it increase MASSIVELY! Of course, along with the increase in homelessness comes rampant crime and other undesirable behaviors. No doubt this is one of the many reasons that Trump won back the White House. Also, the issues of homelessness and crime are one of the largest reasons residents are fleeing blue states for red ones. 

The explosion of homelessness in certain parts of the U.S. is just yet another tragic result of what happens when democrats are given unchecked political power. The lesson here is (AGAIN!): DON'T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS!!!
