We have shelter for the homeless going to waste

Dear Mr. President,

My husband is an Air Force retiree consequently we have visited the commissary at  March Air Force base several times a year for the past 20 years. On our visits I have observed many empy barracks which haven't been in use for many years. Recently I noticed broken windows, unkept grounds etc. and I can't help but wonder why we can't utilize these facilities to house some of our homelss. I realize that there could be negative ramifications in offering homeless housing on a military base, even though this base is open to the public, but if we can manage to offer support to people all over the world I'm sure we could design a plan to help our own people and get them off the streets. 

The US government is like the parents of our country, and what kind of parent would support their neighbors while their own family members are starving and homeless. I think it's about time we stop apologizing and offering financial assistance to our ungrateful neighbors and take care of our family first. Just as with any bad parent we have lost the respect of our neighbors and I for one am tired of my tax dollars going to millions of ugrateful people.

Thank You

Bobbi Coleman
