hope and change?

[lffit]

securised car parks are being created as well to allow families to live in their cars; with millions being forced from their homes as a result of "predatory lending" where else can they go?

[lffit]

@nigee1970 you have been zapped Nigee, my turn next? you are right, this situation we don't often see in Europe or Australia for that matter, because we live in 'nasty socialistic' countries lol

Speaking the truth has its consequences I guess?

i cant believe the media just ignore this, its been 2 years and im in the uk theres been no news of these tent cities..its all about the oney, nobody cares about people and this situation will escalate

[teroorofdeath69]

Want to make a change start gatherings all over the U.S . Talk about voting for politicians who will help bad circumstances . Kick out senators and congressmen who don't do jack squat . Plus if you see a homeless person give them a few bucks.Give them a jacket or coat . change starts with the community and people .

Thank you, trickle-down-economics! Socialism is evil, these people are just lazy, they deserve what they get.

It is the spend and tax democrats people. They will not creat jobs nor pull in their belts so they plan to increase taxes. Vote Senator Boxer out in Nov 2010 and vote most of the Dem's out of Sacramento. The actuall figures are over 25% of californians are under employed. Hey, I don't need a job myself. I have money but U workers need opportunity instead of welfare. Dem's thought the purse never ran out of cash well hello...this is what grandpa and grandma were talking about.

I told you Murphys Law is rule of life. Whatever can go wrong, will.

[169PercentTroof]

it is official. the United States of America is becoming a 3rd world country. We only have ourselves to blame. We let the elites run everything into the ground while we were distracted by shiny objects of entertainment and material things.

[kyeot]

Wont be long before the fire department comes by and burns down there enviroment.

[thesoothsayers]

Change you can believe in. Lets bring in more illegals as the middle class falls apart.

[bill4justice2]

Exactly, yes we need more Legal and Illegal Immigrants in order to increase the labor supply even more and drive down labor rates more. Why most Americans (make that brainwashed Americans) cannot see the insanity of such policies over The YEARS is beyond me.

[hbsegura]

People should stop having kids. Wall Street and Government do not want you to stay in you homes, forcing and allowing foreclosures. Homes are made to keep kids inside. Since people cant keep their homes, people should stop having kids and get vasectomies. We dont need more kids. Read the Grapes of Wrath. Tent Cities.

[bill4justice2]

You're a moron. I'd bet you're from Norhern California (Bay Area)

[aliciaincali]

There is no more tent city in Sacramento... Kevin Johnson, and all those with power, have decided to throw these people in jail. Yes, pay to feed and house them in jails, but according to them, we can't afford to provide more housing options. Disgusting! Shame on you, Mayor Johnson!!!! YOU need to lose YOUR job and try making it on your own in Sacramento, with jerks like you, making it a crime!

[Looktowardsthesky]

@aliciaincali are u serious??

[albertwk1111]

Don't compare the present situation to the Great Depression! It is misleading!

Never in history has the USA exported all manufacturing and technology (that means jobs) away! Now USA has nothing left behind but agriculture. 1930's was in a much better situation.

[CajCoo]

@albertwk1111 You're a dumbass if you think where we are now is worse than the Great Depression.

[stephentsang2000]

@albertwk1111 Americans deserve what they deserve today because Americans kept buying specious Toyotas~ Americans should buy more Chinese automobiles cuz Chinese stuff are much cheaper. This way, Americans could survive longer~

[LgndryThndr]

@albertwk1111

lol you're a faggot.

People couldn't buy food in the depression.

This is just a bunch of Cali hippies getting their just reward.

[flangelet]

The money wasted on Wall St criminals and baling out the incompetent automakers could have protected ordinary americans from having to sleep in tents and eating scraps.

Do yourselves a favour, you dumb ass yanks... have a NEW REVOLUTION, you idiots.

You no longer have the world's respect. You are dumber than we thought!

Can't wait for the spin CNN/Fox/Bloomberg use for 'tent cities'... an economic opportunity for tent makers? Americans getting closer to the environment? LOL

[supereasymarketing]

why is it so stunning.. cause their white... so what.. been like this for blacks and who cared.. now its so alarming and you try to justify it like their just good people and dont have a choice.. haha... good to see...life as a black.. bring it on america kick em in their ass..

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

U are a moron

[xxdonaldqxx]

Yeah pal, have you noticed the people in the tent city are not whining and blaming everyone in site.They are orderly and not rioting. Well maybe it is good for the whites to wake up homeless then when all is lost they will not be so timid and will tell black dickheads like you to go fuck yourself.
