The Governor thinks we need a council in place for 3 years to study ways to reduce homelessness in New Jersey. Umm…why? Just what is there that we don’t know about homelessness after efforts to address the problem have been going on for at least 40 years or more? What haven’t we already tried only to see the problem persist?

I have an idea, Governor. It’s called…hold your hats now…GOOGLE! I googled ‘homelessness’ and I found a gazillion hits on the issue. The Internet really is an amazing resource, Governor. It could even save New Jersey taxpayers some money and a lot of people a lot of time rather than propping up some silly council for 3 years only to find out what we already know.

So, one has to wonder what the point REALLY is of this effort? Does the Governor think this just scores him brownie points with New Jersey voters?

Moreover, I find it a bit offensive that the Governor thinks we are all just helpless waifs who won’t get back on our feet if we lose a job.

Sorry, I just don’t get it. But I can say I know one good way to help homelessness in New Jersey: Elect a Governor who actually knows how to make New Jersey prosperous again.

Of course, I guess that might mean Corzine will be homeless.
