America Plunging

Dear Editor,
   I was inspired to write this letter by a photo on the front page of one of my local papers that depicted the sleeping accommodations of one of our street people. America and the world are plunging into the worst tragedy that mankind will ever experience, the oncoming depression. When unemployment becomes catastrophic, as it will, and many tens of millions find themselves unemployed, will America become the land of the homeless? If our governments, both local and federal, don't pass a law putting a moratorium on house payments for us poor unemployed, I will venture to say that it will. If we Americans don't start to care and realize that we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, we are all going to be street people.
   When America is reduced to the status of a Third World nation due to the failed policies of the government and the perversity of the people, will the streets of Baltimore become like those of Bombay, where each morning a truck traverses the city picking up those who died the previous night?
