The usual suspects once again try to blame this all on Obama, when in fact it is rooted much more in the sea change in American Big Business that occurred in the Reagan years. Obama is culpable only to the extent of the damage he's done and time/resources wasted on chasing "green" energy rainbows and the silliness of trying to fight "climate change" .

But that effect pales against the wholesale abandonment by Big Business of the country at their foundation and the workers whose hard work created their wealth. America's wealth and living standard has been exported and third world poverty imported. And it was during the 80s that this trend accelerated in geometric fashion. The dot.com boom in the 90s was a facade - nothing but a brief distraction from the inevitable downward spiral that had to result from funneling massive amounts of wealth away from American workers and sending it offshore and to the elite few at the top of the food chain.

The saddest part of the story is that the corporate monsters that did this to us now own the government as well, rendering the ballot box a joke.

Did you know that there are thousands upon thousands of homeless people that are living underground beneath the streets of major U.S. cities?

It is happening in Las Vegas, it is happening in New York City and it is even happening in Kansas City.

As the economy crumbles, poverty in the United States isabsolutely exploding and so is homelessness.

In addition to the thousands of “tunnel people” living under the streets of America, there are also thousands that are living in tent cities, there are tens of thousands that are living in their vehicles and there are more than a million public school children that do not have a home to go back to at night.

The federal government tells us that the recession “is over” and that “things are getting better”, and yet poverty and homelessness in this country continue to rise with no end in sight.

The saddest part is the fact that authorities found dirty diapers in the areas near these tunnels. That must mean that babies were being raised in that kind of an environment.

Even as the Dow hits record high after record high, poverty in New York City continues to rise at a very frightening pace. Incredibly, the number of homeless people sleeping in the homeless shelters of New York City has increased by a whopping 19 percent over the past year.

In many of our major cities, the homeless shelters are already at maximum capacity and are absolutely packed night after night. Large numbers of homeless people are often left to fend for themselves.

That is one reason why we have seen the rise of so many tent cities.

Yes, the tent cities are still there, they just aren’t getting as much attention these days because they do not fit in with the “economic recovery” narrative that the mainstream media is currently pushing.

In fact, many of the tent cities are larger than ever.

The leftist media, however, cannot report on it. They only report on poverty and individual poverty in republican administrations.
