Why A Christian In the White House Felt Betrayed
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1546580,00.html
A new memoir by David Kuo, former second-in-command of President Bush's Office of Faith-Based
Initiatives, has the White House on the defensive with its account of an Administration that mocked Evangelicals in private while using them at election time to bolster its
support. In this exclusive adaptation from the book, Kuo writes about how his White House experiences left him disillusioned about the role religion can play in politics.
In 2005 The Bush Administration proposed cutting $37 Billion from the homeless programs
leaving only $13 Billion a year and taking away control of the programs from organizations
such as US Conference of Mayors which have long history of abusing programs. If we take $50 Billion a year and divide it by an estimated 1 million homeless clients we arrive at a
figure of $50,000 a year in federal spending per client. By comparison we could take $10,000 a year and put each
client in a nice motel room and $10,000 for food and expenses and save $30,000 a year. Does the service delivered
to the clients even vaguely justify this type of expenditure?

So Many Homeless Are
Dying We Stopped Counting-Topic #22
Hi! Thanks for your message I don't think that the website you mention is living in the real world. But the point is still
well taken that the life of homeless people is extremely dangerous and the obstacles that homeless people face are severe. There are supposedly 15,000 homeless people here in San Diego County and
the death rate is so high that the local paper no longer even bothers to mention when yet another body is found in Balboa Park. When there was a meeting
of the Renaissance Commission here in Ocean Beach a couple of years ago, the concensus in the audience was running more than 10 to 1 in favor of the theory
that homeless people were ENTIRELY responsible for their own situation. What is needed is not $250 billion but a commitment by society that we will do what is
necessary to help those homeless people who are willing to help themselves.

Are Homeless
Death Exegerated-Topic #23
What is the normal attrition rate for a city wide
population composed of alcoholics, drug users, disabled....? We asked a local organization in San Francisco for their
candid opinon:
"The reports are NOT exaggerated. actually, the preface to the SF Dept. of Public Health's annual
homeless deaths report contains a caveat where the Dept. states that each year's count is actually
an undercount -- the half-time position to do the legwork to confirm the housing status of the
decedents was eliminated from SF-DPH's budget. the current counts reflect only those whose
homelessness could be confirmed by the M.E.'s staff, or by police reports. if you're interested, check out
SF Medical Examiner
it's the text of the Director of Public Health to the Health Commission regarding homeless deaths in 1999,
and has a link for the 1999 report, which I co-authored. it was, as they say, a record year.

Dennis, The problem is vast and complex, but substantially solvable. Divide the number of projected homeless in
any metro area by the number of citizens who reside in that metro area. Ratios of 1 homeless person to
200 or 300 residents is not uncommon. Effectively, housing 40 individuals in a community of 8,000 should
not e too difficult or noticable. You'd think, however, that a toxic waste site was moving in if a
transitional or affordable housing development were proposed in just about any community in the nation.
Providing mental health evaluatins and treatment as well ass substance abuse treatment helps to impact 40% to 60% of those
considered homeless. It is very expensive and for the most part, non-existent. No place to go and no help when they get
there. $250 billion could easily solve the problem if distributed within the context of a national homeless strategy where
levels of consistency in service could be measured. $250 billion can fix a lot of problems or be wasted like any other big
pot of money.

Mr. Stringer,
Your e-mail about a study of homelessness in San Francisco was forwarded to me. I have no direct knowledge of the study or the situation of the homeless in San Francisco so I can't comment on that. While I do not work directly with the homeless in the Tucson metropolitan area, I am aware that life "on the street" is difficult and that it can hard to move to a more "mainstream" existence. In our community it has been reported that a substantial proportion of the homeless have mental health, substance abuse and/or physical disabilities which certainly are barriers to changing their status. Lack of job skills and educational attainment also are barriers.There are programs here that seek to help the homeless, particularly with a focus on moving them to employment, but it still is hard for some of these individuals to make the transition and then to maintain a job which often is low wage and low status and leaves relatively little discretionary income. Some of the homeless are unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of these programs which require individuals to show up regularly for job search training, appointments, etc. Living "on the street" and having to scrounge for meals, etc. certainly could make it hard to keep a regular schedule and appear clean, well groomed, and focused each morning. There are some beds in homeless shelters set aside for those who participate satisfactorily in job search and related employment activities. However, many of the homeless do not feel they can afford to spend weeks or months participating in a job training program when they have no income during that time.
The $250 billion you mention may relate to the proposal to allow faith-based organizations to seek funding to provide a range of social services. That apparently is existing funding for a wide range of services, for many population groups in addition to the homeless, and
represents little or no increase in the overall amount curently available. I'm certain you are aware of the concerns raised by some about whether allowing faith based organizations to receive public (government) money could constitute government support of organized religion.

Question of Genocide-Topic #23
During the Tenure of Secretary Martinez The US Department of HUD implemented programs
which encouraged homeless shelters to permit clients to stay for longer periods of time to participate in various programs offered funded by US Department of HUD.
During the 1980's and 1990'2 the operational audits of Homeless Shelters in 1993and 1994 and 1995 and 1996.
demonstrated the role movement in shuffling clients around the United States and denying them participation in federal programs which
might assist their plight. The results suggest the average client is traveling about 20,000 per years and is too busy being moved around by shelter limits to participate in various federal programs. Sort of a variation on old carnival
and pea game where the rube tries to guess which shell the pea is under. In this system the "Corner Cities" such as New York,Seattle, and
Los Angeles get screwed because they are at the end of massive interstate highway systems which dump the "garbage" from "Christian Communities" into the liberal communities.

Who Represents The Homeless?
Who is entitled to represent the homeless? The Association of Gospel Rescue
Missions which raises billions for homeless programs puts out this type of
propoganda which is very unlikely to solicit help from others. The National Coalition for Homeless represents who? It is not known
that the homeless have voted to elect officers and represenatives to empower this organization to act in their behalf; play a role in
policy... per United Nations mandate rights to indigeneous peoples
Rather The National Coalition for Homeless simply appointed itself to
represent the homeless and maintaines offices in Washington D.C. to influzence funding and national policy. NCH Represenative Michael Stoops was run out of Portland as a
accused child moldestor after his shelter Baloney Joe's was closed for drug trafficking to drive up
customers on main street Portland, Oregon According to Portland Police Department.
Joanne Ferrero, Margaret Moreland and other members of Centraleast Side Industrial Council accused Mr. Stoops of giving 8 children VD of the throat who was spared from prosecution by the intervention of US Senator Mark
O Hatfield. Michael was sent to DC to help run the country.

Christians Bust Hell Wide Open?
The folks in government and ministry apparently never read the Bible where turning God's house into a place of
business is prohibited and instead taught "The Prosperity Doctrine" and
our study indicated many of those involved died under unfortunate circumstances. During the Bush Administration we found increased evidence of homeless shelters making
Demands For Peonageor bondageor Involuntary servitude
These so called "Charities" pay their "employees"$10.00 a week
selling garbage and junk while owning multibillion dollar corporations on the stock market. The Government can't live on the taxes paid from $10.00 a week but can
make ends meet on the wages paid by a college grad making $50k a year. The prosperity doctrine seeks to turn God's House of Prayer into a 200 billion dollar
a year cottage industry; thrift store; and modern day plantation which of course a doctrine found nowhere in the Bible. The industry is involved
in sales of other folks trash instead of say selling Cadillacs; diamonds; or gold... Unlike Slave Owners of the Past today's
Masser dosen't have to get the hounds out to chase down runaway slaves. He controls all the food, shelter, and hospitality within 50 miles and forces the unwilling to move on.
Obviously International Law prohibits bondage, peonage, or slavery in all of it's forms.
Call Me Masser The Modern Day Plantation
During 2001 US Congress Majority Leader Congressman Dick Armey and
other members of the Congressional Ku Klux Klan such as retired US Senator Jesse Helms pushed through legislation
designed to provide free sterilization of the poor at a time when the Governors of States of Virgina, Oregon, and California were offering apolgies
for sterilization of the retarded in the past. Guess the good news is that after the last election many of the racist in Congress retired-courtsey of Enron and old age.
The Congressional KKK and others also supported the push to turn "Christian Ministries" into modern day plantations
designed to demand free labor from the elderly, poor, and disabled.

Prisons For Profit & Churches
& Golden Parachute Programs for Convicted Felons
Prisons For Profit the United States has created an incentive or bounty type
prison system under which the cities and states are encouraged to arrest low income persons solely for the purpose
of getting paid a set amount per night per prisoner. Ordinances and law such as vangrancy; hitchiking; loitering; which were declared unconstitutional by the
US Supreme Court a generation ago are reappearing as officals seek a way to cash in on the federal bounty system. It is remarkable to see communities
which once competed for manufacturing plants competing for prisons. Questions of possible Human Rights violations are made to the
United Nations each year concerning US Prisons. The Bush Administration saw a vast increast for golden parachute programs
for ministries which catered to convicted felons returning from prison as so called "rehabilitative services".
How To Bankrupt
Your Country 1 Easy Lesson
Even prior to NAFTA the United States moved away from trade protectionism programs used by President Dwight Eisenhower to impose tariff's and
embargoes on foreign goods. Throughout the 1970's the "United States" began deporting it's prime tax base and manufacturing industries such as steel; textiles, auto manufacturing; electronics to 3rd world countries.
US National Debt Clock
As late as 2001 the US Government was calling for a 10 year budget cutback to deal with profound "surplus" which soon turned into a major recession.
When President Clinton left office he left a $1.2 Trillion surplus which by 2004 was a $8 Trillion deficit which is not helped
by foreign trade deficits. As President Eisenhower pointed out as he left office, "America is today the strongest, most influential, and most productive nation in the world. which was not the result of chance or circumstance.
which was due to protectionism programs used by to impose tariff's and embargoes on foreign goods to protect America from
foreign dumping.

DSHS fails $6.1 billion Medicaid audit Will legislature finally exercise oversight?
On December 30, 2004, Washington State Auditor Brian Sonntag officially released the Fiscal
Year 2004 audit of the state's $6.1 billion (50 percent federal funds) annual Medicaid program. Among the 22 audit findings issued against
the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) for its handling of the Medicaid program, the state auditor (SAO) took the highly unusual
step of "disclaiming"; the entire Medicaid program.
SAO noted:"Disclaim" is a term used in auditing standards that means we cannot conclude, based on documentation and other evidence we were
provided, whether all of these costs were allowable or whether all clients were eligible for services given to them and all providers were eligible
for payments made to them."
SAO's official Medicaid audit release follows the unprecedented public release of the audit's draft findings by DSHS on the agency's
website on December 14, 2004. According to SAO, some of these draft findings were altered by DSHS.
The findings the Department of Social and Health Services released on its website on December 14, 2004, were preliminary drafts and were
not completed. In addition, some of the findings the Department presented were worded differently from the drafts we gave the Department at the
exit conference on November 24, 2004. The following document is the State Auditor's Office official special report on our audit of the Medicaid
Program for fiscal year 2004.
Among the audit's official findings, DSHS:
paid $22 million to individuals who did not provide valid Social Security Numbers (SSN) or offered no SSN at all;
paid more than $1 million to individuals claiming a deceased relative's SSN;
provided $1.3 million in unallowable medical services to illegal aliens;
cannot account for more than 1.4 million in pills worth in excess of $529,000; and
did not cooperate with SAO's audit, leading to the disclaiming of the $6.1 billion Medicaid program.
Regarding the lack of cooperation extended by DSHS, SAO made the following statements throughout its audit:
DSHS personnel attempted to thwart particular audit procedures by questioning our authority to either expand the scope of our audit or to obtain certain information.
[DSHS]altered information related to sample transactions while we were attempting to complete our review.
In some instances, we were unable to independently interview line staff without the presence of management or without management's
selection of the employees to be interviewed. Staff members informed us that they had to obtain permission
from management prior to speaking with auditors. During our review of the allowability of certain medical procedures and of procedures provided
to undocumented aliens, we were never granted permission to speak with the medical consultants who had approval authority.
The audit liaison system, as actually used by the Department, hindered our access to data and obstructed our contact with line staff.
Additionally, the audit liaison system attempted to force us to rely on the Department's representations as to the existence or accuracy of evidence.
In effect, the Department was attempting to perform the work of the auditor, instead of allowing the auditors to perform an independent audit
and reach a valid conclusion.
It is inappropriate for the Department to withhold information because it believes it is not relevant or significant. The auditor
should be given the information requested and have an opportunity to examine it and discuss it with the Department before the auditor decides its importance.
Auditors of the Medicaid Program were subjected to undue criticism of their integrity, independence, competence, objectivity, and
knowledge. These charges against audit staff were made both in person and through e-mail, and we believe they were intended to deter us from
completing our audit.
It is worth noting the contrasting attitude displayed by the Department of Health (DOH) in response to one audit finding issued jointly against DOH and DSHS: "We concur with the finding of the State Auditor's Office Thank you for the professional work by your staff." Despite DOH's acceptance of the audit finding, DSHS did not concur with the finding. With Washington's $6.1 billion Medicaid program at risk, legislators must finally exercise long overdue oversight and ensure audit corrective action occurs. Many of the findings issued against DSHS in SAO's 2004 audit are repeats from previous years. By making an example out of DSHS, legislators would also send a strong message to other state agencies that frustrating the efforts of the people's elected auditor will not be tolerated. Accountability and transparency for tax dollars must be the first responsibility of all state officials.

There is no question that the issue of homeless is

Thank you for your most recent correspondence regarding the homeless. I greatly appreciate your list of shelters on the West Coast Corridor which currently offer work placement services. When the Senate considered the urgent relief for the Homeless Act I added an amendment which would provide for case management to track and assist the homeless in obtaining comprehensive services, including job training. It is likely that this matter will come up during debate on welfare reform. Your interest and compassion are to commended.
