  • also the U.S government started a policy of cutting taxes and borrowing after the oil crises in the 1970's. As fore the people in the video, I think that the cities should start investing more in things like food banks, and homeless shelters, instead of trying to evict the people in the shanty towns. The federal government should also setup its role in helping States fund their college and University systems, as well as providing more government loans, and grants.

  • First of the U. S has not been going "deeper into communism" since their has not been any distribution of wealth. Subprime mortgages are the product of capitalism, since it helps facilitate the transfer of goods and increase company profits at the expense of the people, which is the exact opposite of communism. The only way to keep companies from outsourcing jobs to places, such as China, would be through government regulations, and people actually buying products manufactured or grown in the US

  • I see people who are reaping what they sowed, they didnt have to buy into what the banks were telling them about the housing market.. Too many Americans TRY to live above their means, its so sad really.. I know ppl that have lost their homes because they didnt/or couldnt stop using their credit cards.. Now they live with family and r homeless, its sad but its their fault.. credit cards will ONLY put u in debt unless u know the right way to use them

  • @steppinthrumyshadow And the corporate assholes who lied to those people by convincing them, and allowing them to borrow money/sign for mortgages will soon reap what they sow. Your clearly someone who sits at a desk and makes over sixy thousand dollars a year if you can keep a striaght face while blaming the average joe. These people have no say on how the economy works, how can it be thier fault?

  • @steppinthrumyshadow You want to blame the american, people do you? How about you quit turning a blind eye to the morons who insist on moving the manufactoring industry off shore to places like china. Those people are the reason mega cities like Detriot have become a ghost town. They are the ones who allowed asia to become a economic juggernaut.

  • I see people learning to live within there means. Bet that first guy never does an increased payment deal again. Learning is not wasted time, Light is everywhere

  • We need to bring back manufacturing and assembly jobs back into the America. Plus allow many to be retrained for college as higher education is the way out of poverty.

  • they're not victims of life, they're victims of the system.

  • Dose anyone know how I can contact people from this tent city? anyway If you know someone from a tent city, ask them to email my friend on michelle.edward7@yahoo.com , she is in HRM and can help them get a job and start fresh , I hope the situation changes soon....

  • Oh man I feel so bad for this guy! "I had one of those escalating..eh...finance charged balloon things that stepped up every year" He, like most others dont even understand what happened to him! The media and the government was ADVERTISING the subprime market, and people who fell for it got screwed. Wallstreet made SO much money off this and regular (or should I say ACTUAL) WORKING people are now homeless... This shit makes me so angry I dont even know what to do!

  • Tools will be tools. at the end of the day, we are all just animals. get with it or get eaten...

  • We wanted Wall Mart and low low prices well now low low wages and low low standards.

  • Arrest and deport the illegal aliens. I pity the homeowners in that neighborhood.

  • This shits got to go!

    Zeitgeist Moving Forward on youtube.

  • @payit4ward ya buddy!! the whole world is on collapse..we need a better not just better but a best society that doesnt run on money!!

  • ahora pasense para este lado y vean tambien la pobreza que existe en mexico creo que todos los paises tienen pobres

  • I am shocked to see that a country would spend over 600 billion $ on the defense budget when there are things like this going on.

  • @BonScottAC They do it because the American people sit by and allow it.........I guess it going to take millions of Americans living on the streets or concentration camps before they people do something to hold the elected officials accountable. But by that time it will be too late.

  • @BonScottAC ITS CALLED PLUTOGRACY 20% of the defence budget goes missing EVERY year But no one dares to ask questions the poor pay the rich get richer

  • @BonScottAC Then you'll be even more shocked to know that LA is using tax payers dollars to evict people from tent cities like this, instead of investing in food banks and local shelters. And the worst part about it is that it's not the people who are paing those taxs who are evicting them. It's alot of the big private companies who own the land who are pushing the city to do this.

  • NO NO NO.. AMERICA IS A FAILURE. not the tents

  • welcome to the new way of life that has been planned for you by your government.

    your "leaders" laugh at you.

    Obama would gladly spit in your face.

    get used to seeing more shit like this....it was planned.

    the downfall of the U.S.A.

    and don't laugh Europeans...your currency will be non-existent in the next 6-12 months.

  • @MikeMcGantic We know. They have planned this shit globally to bring about their new world order. Problem-Reaction-Solution. Order out of chaos.

  • god so painful so painful to see our great nation but one day that all will be a bad dream

  • Another imoral aspect of this story is that the TV Evangeist rake in millions and live in mansions while the one that confess the follow Jesus Christ walked amont people like these. Jesus was the savior of those without money, those without homes, those who made their living in actuvities the government held against the law. Go figure !

  • @Engineer245 it is sickening to see the name of the Christ used in that manner, isnt it? youre very wise, friend.

  • About taking debt.

    My idea is dont take and dont give. That way others cant get into debt and neither can you or i.

  • sadistic french

  • this is extremely narrow-minded and biased. this reporter should be shot.

  • @kwang1imsa it's the true face of your country the "great" USA....

    don't deny the reality.

  • @yohanntim What, the 3% of our population that is actually homeless because of their drug abuse? I'm not saying that America's the greatest nation. I'm well aware that the US has problems to deal with, but so does every nation. The massive economic crisis in America was caused my overzealous investments from out own people AND YOURS. Other countries played the same role in our crises as we did, so how do you feel putting millions of hard-working educated middle-class citizens on the streets?

  • @kwang1imsa In the US you have 40 million American without health insurance, they can't receive some care, because they don't have enough money, whereas in France we have free health care for all. that's why our life expectancy is far more high than the US. I'm tired to see American ppl pretend that their country, is the greatest, the most beautiful, etc...you have one of the highest criminality rate in the world

    even the HDI of France is the 7th in the world, it's better than the US (13th).

  • Why don't these people go get a job, a low income apartment, some food stamps, TANF, heat assistance, electricity assistance... oh wait, we don't offer those here in the U.S.

  • @min2758 Not sure about the heat/electricity assistance, but USA offers TANF and foodstamps.

    Its hard to near impossible to get these unless your a woman with a child.

  • @Kaiwynn without a permanent address, you cannot get food-stamps. Tent cities are everywhere, in every state. Why doesn't he news cover this crisis? I'm two paychecks from joining one!

  • @B4realalready I can only speak from indiana, Virginia, and Washington perspectives but there are day shelters that will allow you to use their address as a way to receive mail. I can only guess that every state/city has this as well.

    It does take some work to do, a bit of creativity. And your better than most, of America who are 1 paycheck from being undone.

  • @Kaiwynn agreed! I think we are reaping the rewards of easy credit and high living.  I keep telling my friends that they should not try to live the caviar and champagne dream when they have the finances to only support a sardine and tea life style.

  • @B4realalready Oddly enough, that was my dinner tonight =)

  • @B4realalready Why doesn't the news cover this? Because Obama is president. They're protecting him. If Bush were still in office this would lead the news every night.

  • @dsrtflwr bush was covered to :(

  • @dsrtflwr

    You're delusional if you think fox news is covering obama's ass in ANY way

  • All that is needed to effectively control a government is to have control over the nation's money: a central bank with a monopoly over the supply of money and credit. This had been done in Western Europe, with the creation of privately owned central banks such as the Bank of England. (and now the USA). Baron M.A. Rothschild wrote, "Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws."

  • The US Government for the past 75 years has been driving the USA deeper and deeper into the realm of communism. The United States is financially broke, the farms are broken down, the Nation has been de-industrialized, and the outsourcing of jobs continues to this day. Both corrupt federal administrations, the Democrat and Republican eat off the same plate. They have labeled that plate; "Screw the taxpayer, each and every one of them."

  • I hope some one hear these people and helpthem out ,please help them if you can i wish i had the money to help them but maybe one day god will bless me so i can help these people because thats what god would want us to do.

  • -I have native american training and am an expert in survival/martial arts. I'm going to thrive in this shit once I get my tent next week. In a way, I can't wait to be homeless again! Fuck paying rent to crooks, and there's no work out here in case you didn't notice yet. Fuck this too American shit, I'm going in old school!

  • We need to talk to them about the venus project and a resource based economy and how it could solve the worlds problems because that is what it is really about, solving problems, not politics.

  • Coming from a French network I couldn't help but detect a hint of schadenfreude. Yes, we have problems here in the US but perhaps FRANCE 24 could report on the deteriorating situation inside the banlieus or on Spain's economic meltdown.

  • didnt u know its good pr to give to other countries, thats why the government does it..

  • Theres no shame in living in a tent.

  • ITS SAD AMERICA IS SO POOR THAT WE CANT GIVE THESE PEOPLE JOBS AND A BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING

  • the narrators voice sux bad....

  • History repeating itself, these are the new hoovervilles circa 1933 , life is getting more difficult 4 sure, what we need 2 do is to see to our own people before giving aid 2 other needy nations, polititians are selfish and slow 2 learn the lessons of the  30,s, after ww2 america was the richest nation , now the yo yo cycle of boom and bust is hurting most people, the brits put their poor in hostels, the germans give them jobs 4 u/pay, i hope 4 an answer .

  • This comes from france24 I have lived and worked all over france and they have tent cities as well, They round them up using police and military. I don't know where they go after that.

  • Not just that but Obama is accpeting the Global Bank Tax if it's accepted American Banks and the people ARE S.O.L F-U-C-K-E-D!

  • criminal government and ignorant citizen. crisis after another. all started with 9/11 crime. may be 9/11 conspiracy theoriests are right. may be 9/11 was an inside job and we americans being punished for the people killed in iraq and afghanistan

  • When are people seriously going to wise up and realize the Government has never helped its people nor does it care about any of us. You have to take care of yourself and help anyone you can. If you depend on this joke of a government to do it? You'll end up like these people and worse.

  • @UniqueExposures Stop with your ignorant we are inevitably on our own bullshit! Whether or not the government will help its poor and those who for some reason fall outside is just a political question whether or not you want it to. Just compare the US to the outside world. For instance you do not see YouTube videos of this shit happening in Europe. Have you ever wondered why? Wake up and smell the coffee!

  • @Dovenpeis Ignorance? I think not. People need to stop bitching and moaning and take care of themselves!

  • @UniqueExposures Yes, ignorance! In a society with division of labor the notion of taking care of yourself is meaningless rubbish that has nothing to do with reality. In reality you are depended on others. Which the resent economic development clearly shows. So stop your ignorant horseshit and get in touch with real life!

  • This is a fucking disgrace. People are living worse then dogs. Yet we have money to piss away half way around the world.

  • Living in a tent? Just be thankful you don't live in France!!

  • fantastic!!! and what's the government doing? fighting foreign wars and spending our tax money in the middle east!

    by the way, let's take another 5 million mexicans so they can work right?! I mean is not like Americans cant find work!!!!!

    and before some body calls me racist, I am actually Colombian-american but it's frustrating what the morons in the white house are doing to the country.

  • @andyobby  I wasnt going to call you racist I was going to call you Correct

  • This isn't America. America doesn't have tent cities. Looks more like Kenya to me.

  • US is fucked!

  • @soundzero Yup, the minute Obama took office we were and have been since.

  • Thats the result of the american dream.

    Next step is the civil war.

    Good luck

  • it is so sadly ironic how america can easily send financial relief to other countries but cannot help itself and its people. how sad!

  • We wouldnt have to if the world didnt look at us like were big brother, and honestly, if we dont do it who will? No one. Imo I think we should say "we have our own problems" and put homeland before anyone else. But im affraid that at this point if we did that we would cause more harm than good by creating more enemys than we need right now

  • @mrandmrsjwhitney there is a difference in getting rid of a dictator in another country and "helping our own people." Too many people are sitting around waiting for Obama to save them. In America you can help yourself. Times get bad but it is up to you to regroup and rebuild. If you keep thinking of yourself as a victgim you always will be.

  • @mrandmrsjwhitney For America helping its own poor and needy would be socialism, and that they simply can't have.

  • @mrandmrs whitney I've been saying that for years. It makes no sense at all. It is completely unacceptable and we Americans should be outraged.

  • @mrandmrsjwhitney My motto:

    First we take care of our own. Then we´ll worry about the others.

  • @mrandmrsjwhitney the financial relief is only to offset, the billions we spend on war and genocide all around the world annually. and we can only pay for temporary "relief" after having the chinese buy more of our debt and increase the national deficit.

  • america can easily send financial relief to other countries because they want world support for NWO then middle class will be the slaves and the poor will die . wake up

  • @MrGreatLakesBuffalo  Because addicts always gind the money somehow!!

  • fu you would want to smoke too if you were in that posistion. Shut the fuck up these people are as good as you. your naive'

  • @MrGreatLakesBuffalo Why do bums have the money for liqour? Ask yourslef dat boy.

  • This guys voice is absolutley hilarious.

  • These people were barely getting by in good times, what makes anyone think they will grow and flourish in bad times? Trust me, they won't. Let them set up tents, help them find food, treat them humanely and offer them hope and help. That's about all you can do...

  • Communist America!!! America is a Communist nation!!!

  • no its capitalist.... thats the problem

  • I bet you don't even know what communism is...

    it is capitalist, and corporatist.... nearing on the edge of fascism...

  • Hell yeah,, booze drugs sex.. this place is the shit ! No taxes to pay.. Freedom Rocks!

  • So it's a persons own fault if they get fired due to the downturn of the economy and can no longer pay rent? So they have to live out on the street in tents? If you're going to point fingers, point it at every sorry ass politician, liberal/democrat or republican.

    We can send billions of dollars of aid around the world each year, but we can't take care of our own people.

    That's a tragedy within itself and you are a hypocrite.

  • Ironic.... how those whose leaders wage war upon the peaceful desert nomads of Iraq, now find themselves sharing a common bed. Some depleted uranium, checkpoints, armed blackwater thugs, and car bombs........would complete the "karma". Best thing would be to ask the UN to send help.

  • yep Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be in Tent City Soon.

  • wots happening 2 america it seems like a third world country. no helath care homes being taken away living in tents. get all the hollywood lot 2 sponsor a yank give him a better life. next week brangalina will b making a visit 2 pick up sum kids. feed the usa, sponsor a yank will take mcdonald vouchers.

    wasted 2 much money on wars and now u wnt 2 invade iran. obama look in yr own back yard it is full of tents.

  • this is just the beginning. just wait this time next year when unemployment hits about 40% .

    you wont be able to walk 5 feet without stepping on a homeless person.

  • I am only wanting info... what proof if any besides your own emotions do you have of a future 40% jobless rate... I know it's more like 13% maybe more on a true national level but is there any proof you have of that coming... if so I would enjoy knowing so I am informed and can be prepared cause if that's true resources will SKY ROCKET.. thanks

  • lol never mind................ obama is going to fix everything .

    thanks.

  • "what proof if any besides your own emotions do you have of a future 40% jobless rate..."

    Massive federal money printing leads to a Dollar collapse, and the resulting hyperinflation will bring our consumer economy to a grinding halt. Malls will be completely vacant. People will be spending their entire pay checks and unemployment checks on food. I have already bought several hundred dollars worth of canned food/rice/oatmeal in preparation. This is the truth and what is in store for all of us.

  • This is a result of people losing their God given Freedom and Liberty to live Freely off the land and to provide for thenselves without having to work for someone else and depending on money to pay for their needs.

    Its the result of people getting to comfortable and lazy with letting other provide for them.

    The providers profitted while the people ended up in Debt,,

    Its now costing them everything they worked hard for and now find themselves living on the streets destitute.

  • Tent cities outside the US have almost no water and tent dwellers in those places are so weak they can't even get up to complain or have an attitude.

    In US at least everyone in a tent city is well fed like in 1:58 and theres even mention of luxuries like alcohol and drugs, not the dust and flies elsewhere . . .

    It's billionaires sequestering all the wealth that causes this poverty. Place socialist caps on capitalism, no person should have more than 50M in assets, redistribute the wealth !

  • If you have $20000 go to live in Asian and be a teacher, just teach English you will make comfortable living. I been in Cambodia with $3000 and service for 8 months until I decided to came back.

  • No mercy in America. Get out of that country!

  • not just america

  • The video is talking about America. And America is much more violent than in any other country in the Western World. For that reason, people need to get out of there.

  • According to this video some parts of our country may already be like the soviet union or worse. This really saddens me to see this but luckily things like this never happens in my town.

  • why cant that happen? You live in America, the dollar is collapsing, i dont wanne upset you, but this propably will happen all over the US.

  • whats worse is the lack of media in the US reporting on this.

  • damn just like the native americans used to live

  • @fu66

    Native americans didnt live like this. living in a tent isnt a way of life its just one small thing they have in common. not all Natives used tents Cherokee built houses as im sure most others did. only nomads used tents and it was only because the followed food IE buffalo

  • @fu66 Sadly some things never change.

  • @fu66 how ironic and well deserved.

  • @fu66

    Only a few tribes lived in nomadic tents. Madans had earth homes and stayed in one spot. Same with the Iriquios. The objibwe had summmer and winter homes. You have the Dakota in mind. The Kiowa and Comanche lived much the same way.

  • What we need in america is all of the population to have an above average standard of living. This is what the people demand, and if enough people want it, we can get it.

  • There will always be guns in circulation, and gun control will only disarm the law abiding citizens, and criminals can get what they want.

  • Republicans won't be happy until the American middle class is destroyed and our society resembles Brazil or Mexico.

  • Excuse me, but when did the Republicans get back in power? Was I sleeping? Last I heard the demorats had the White House, the Senate, and the House....and still you gripe about Republicans...LOL

  • We have to watch the foreign news to get real news about what is happening in the country!!! Pathetic!!! This is the new great depression and it WILL be worse than the first. The economy isn't going to get better, we are going to have to PERMANENTLY simplify our lives here in the United States.

  • its a shame ,so many empty houses consumed by big banks, its a big fucking scam to consolidate everything that the middle class have, the only reason they are doing this is for control,they dont want a smart healthy educated population with think for themselves,lets kill the poor is how they think, well i say lets kill the upper 1 % and take our country back.

  • These houses didnt just appear out of no where. Some one had to pay for the land,materials,labor to build these homes etc..I can assure you the banks want their money not a home back that is worth less than what they lent the borrower to buy it for in the first place! The upper 1-5% pay most all taxes in the U.S.! You are obviously an ignorant idiot ! the Majority of these people bought homes they could not afford in the first place and should have shown some restraint!..

  • MelOAyness you're typical american looser or you just forget to take your pills?

    America SUCKS and I hope all americans will live in tents soon

  • LMAO YOu live in POland and you say America sucks..lol....Polands GDP Per capita-$13,799 dollars.

    U.S GDP Percapita-$46,859 dollars!

    So I would say you are piss poor and just about all live in tents already!

  • GDP per capita is an average. As America has a lot of very wealthy billionaires, this causes the average to go up, but the median isn't that high.

    Combine GDP with gini coefficient to get a real good number. The us has a gini of 46,3 (as of 2007, but now probably more), which means more inequality in wealth. Poland has a gini of about 32 (less inequality). Also houses are cheaper, food is cheaper etc. And Poland is just an eastern Europe country.

    US wealth is with the rich, not the people.

  • is this really in the USA

  • Yea it is really in the USA and France,Italy etc there are tent Cities in countries all around the world! TRy doing some research and enough with the negative USA crap already!

  • America: GAME OVER!

  • you know whats sad when people have the nerve to judge homeless people.look what the world is coming to you could be one of them instead of judging you should be helping your neigher.when you judge someone you do not define them you define yourself.its unfair to them you have it all and they have nothing.

  • Also if u want someone to blame for the crisis blame the Democrats in congress they forced the lending industry to have to give loans to people that never should have gotten loans in the first place, there called predatory loans, these people are the people who had to foreclose on their homes not the majority of people lending. In fact up until the Democrats took congress and started to implement these predatory loans, 96% of Americans were paying there mortgages on time.

  • This is just a bunch of homeless people gathering together to form a shanty town. There not all victims of the sub prime mortgage crisis, probably most of then are just typical hobo's.I love how the French news takes these hobo's and represents them as the victims of the sub prime mortgage crisis, trying to make the crisis seem worse than it is.They act like this is the norm in America and that were in a Depression.This story was very misleading and non-representative of the reality of things.

  • The American dream?

  • Yo, misfit- Let me tell you exactly why you are wrong about the greasers and the coons ganging up on the white people. I don't know just what chapter of the bible you find this in but I am sure that whatever Bible you are using, it is bullshit. The Mexicans are too busy selling drugs to the Negroes and they are both too busy working their own games to even get up the energy to get a fucking job and you think that they're gonna attack whitey? Dude, you ain't no hotbed of mental health, Asshole!

  • Rubbery? Pal, what the fuck is rubbery?

  • haha pesident of tent city at 1:43 !

  • I guess they are going green.

  • hahahahahah serves the americans right.

  • Americans we in England feel your pain i feel for all my brothers and sisters who have been screwed by the government, peace and tell people to WAKE UP and turn the tv off

  • Poor people!!!!

  • People should stop having kids.  Wall Street and Government do not want you to stay in you homes, forcing foreclosures. Homes are made to keep kids inside. Since people cant keep their homes, people should stop having kids and get vasectomies.

  • very good idea,i agree with you,why do we have to have kids to be hungry and homeless,that is not a life,that is kids abuse

  • Do you want to wrestle in the mud?

  • Women, money and Government. What more could we ask for?

  • We hear jobs, jobs, jobs.....by the Obama administration. They must be talking about all those "jobs" that went overseas. We always got to run off and save the world. I don't see any of those "jobs" coming back here and I don't blame those companies for not wanting to do business in the U.S. Too many regulations by the Federal Government. Government is the one that caused this. 50% of the Government needs to be fired.

  • suck cock for cash

  • finefilth: Stupid comment. People need help and thats all you got to say. There will be more tents and homeless people from these Obama faggots. They haven't done anything for the approx. 250,000 homeless veterans on the streets. Too busy shaking hands with cocksuckers like Chavez and Calderon. I want to see the likes of you and your Obama Government go down. And you will come down hard.

  • suck cock for cash ...it is the will of the invisible hand job of the free marketplace...

  • they dont intend on bringing them back

  • The only thing I dont get is why did they agree to a balloon payment?? If you signed the contract knowing all of the commitments involved then why do it?? Then blame it on the bank?? Come On. No one held a gun to their heads forcing them to a huge mortgage.

  • oooh people what have you let them do to you. The united states was omnce the greatest nation in the world... now you throw it all down the toilet. well at least you still ahve yourguns...oh no...not!!! that friendly [seudo black president and his goons are taking them also from you. hahahahaha you d=umbasses brought it on yourself clearly!!!

  • I believe that was a Mexican Flag above the US. That makes you think a bit, doesn't it?

  • isnt america supposed to be better then this?

    ppl are suposed to help each other. its supposed to be the greatest country on earth.

  • the same assholes that cried about banks refusing to give out loans to undeserving scums like these are the same assholes losing their homes,yeah,clinton was a poor man's best friend right,look at what your stupidity got u asses and us into,DONT BUY SOMETHING U CANT AFFORD,u were supposed to live in tents saving and this is the best time to buy real market priced homes,wothless liberals

  • sshapewa.. go fucking kill yourself... the american people are under the wrath of a ONE party system.. The republicrats fascist/commie party.\

    divide and conquer is the game

  • finefilth: Women in politcal power will be the fall of this country. EEO. They are very manipulative and cunning. Thats who really controls all these worthless programs. They are a joke: Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Madeline Albright, Hilda Solis, Elaina Chao, Nancy Pelosi to the Queen of the UK. Thats your commie party. Programs, coupons and sell outs.

  • They all look like men to me... just as warlike too.

  • Comment removed

  • I am pissed!! I am in Sacramento and I thought WE were the official "tent city of failure". Oprah said so! We have had every bleeding heart news crew from around the world showing the same sad sack story. MY bussiness is 2 blocks away from our camp. MY bussiness is located next door from the soup kitchen. I have offered these people jobs, and none want to WORK! They want to be paid, but not WORK. They want NO rules, NO restrictions, NO responsbilities.

  • They need to load the ones flying a mexican flag above a U.S. flag up on a bus & ship them back to mexico

  • on-tar-ee-oh LOL

    eh, I dont think they are victims. My mom lives there and she put herself there.

  • mark my words in time you will be there too. the world is ending. thank the bankers

  • thank the federal reserve ;) And if I wind up there, it certainly wont be of my own accord. Ive been careful to avoid that :) However, if it is in my future, Im heading to the beach. I'd rather be down and out there than in Onterrible.

  • "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country," (maybe Red cross could help? Or any other ONG working in Africa with american donations?)

  • Mexican Flag flying over the U.S. flag. My grandparents never flew the Korean flag over the U.S. flag. That's because they wanted to be Americans, not Koreans in America. There is a correlation, the more I see things like that, the more I see America slipping into the type of 3rd world shithole Mexico is.

  • God bless America !

  • think of it... the banks have been paid trillions of dollars by the new "messiah" of the people to make up for the losses of the subprime.. yet these motherfucking banks havent let go off the homes of these innocent people n r going ahead with the auctions rendering them homeless.. fucking liar obama is aware of all this but he is only acting on what his overlords have sent him for..

    these innocent people need a second chance..

    FUCK OBAMA

  • victims? hardly. casualties sure, not victims.

  • They are victims of failed economic policy! They can spend billions on banks na dlining the bankers pockets but they cant bail out General Motors and they cant sort out the homeless.

  • I agree that they are in a terrible situation and I do feel sorry for them in that sence. However, no held a gun to anyone's head and said, "Buy this house and car and counter tops on credit because good times will never turn bad!!" If I lost my job today I could survive for more than a year without one because I keeped myself informed and didn't over-extend myself.

  • As a Libertarian I totally agree! Its once self responsibility to maintain welfare! BUT the system and its corrupt politicians have lead people into this situation and are still selling us out!
