America is hopeless

Adult foster care for the homeless
On his visit to California on September 17-18, President Trumpunderscored the urgency of the homeless crisis. On the eve of his visit, the Council of Economic Advisers issued a special report, “The State of Homelessness in America.” It attributes the problem, correctly, “to decades of misguided and faulty policies” and evaluates policy solutions.
The simplest, fastest and cheapest way to end the U.S. homeless crisis is adult foster care. This will match the national objective to take the homeless off the streets with the incentives of publicly paid providers to house the homeless.
We need adult supervision from government.   The proposal conceives of a class of union bureaucrat called 'government parent'.  This is not a racket government will do well with.
