Economic despair is beginning to spread rapidly in America. As you read this, there are millions of American families that are just barely hanging on by their fingernails. For a growing number of Americans, it has become an all-out battle just to be able to afford to sleep under a roof and put a little bit of food on the table.
Tonight, tens of thousands of formerly middle class Americans will be sleeping in their cars, even though that is illegal in many U.S. cities. Tens of thousands of others will be sleeping in tent cities or on the streets.
Meanwhile, communities all over America are passing measures that are meant to push tent cities and homeless people out of their areas. It turns out that once you lose your job and your home in this country you become something of an outcast. Sadly, the number of "outcasts" is going to continue to grow as the U.S. economy continues to collapse.
Most Americans that end up living in their cars on in tent cities never thought that it would happen to them.

The corporate whores like CEOs are guilty and responsible, as is the federal and state governments, along with the public union workers. They are all equally filth.
The country will implode, and I hope that a system with stronger checks and balances is implemented to stop each of those selfish groups are either eliminated outright, or managed with a VERY tight leash.

Yes, 110 Million households with 46 Million receiving Food Stamps and 99 Million receiving cable, satellite or both.
Must be terrible to have cable and free food with Food Stamps.

It isn't like they didn't have time to move in with their parents, or other family members or make arrangements to share housing.

Yes, isn't it wonderful? I can't wait for the day when I can walk to Findlay Market and not get hit up by half a dozen panhandlers, 2-3 drug dealers and a prostitute.
Plenty of jobs in Somalia.
If we get a few thousand people to pony up $10, a brown-bag lunch, and a parachute, I can get someone to foot the bill to fly those idiots to Somalia on a C-130.
I'll be happy to kick them out the back on a drag run. Free-falling is much more fun than bungy jumping (or CATS!)
If they can't find work in Somalia, they can always head to Uganda. It's safe. General President Colonel Reverend Prime Minister First Sergeant Idi Amin Dada is still dead and not in charge. They can even help US special ops hunt down the Lord's Army.
Thanks OP. I dont see ANY politicians addressing any of the real problems....
Good article, and true. The manufacturing jobs lost to China and the IT jobs lost to India were driven by the CEOs who wanted higher profits to justify their obscene salaries and bonuses.

Yes and NEITHER side is talking about it. In the MSM we just hear the same bs, class warfare and reality trash shows. American economy is in a truly precarious situation, yet no one in D.C. is addressing it.....
If we do away with the EPA and unions I'll bet there will be hundreds of thousands of jobs created.
