  • I love to stay in the van....it's adventerous. I am sorry ehat happen to the family. GOD will alwyas bless you!

  • Get rid of that big nasty funky dog!!!!!

  • @Dickie9028 what's wrong with the dog? The overpopulation of animal shelters in california is among the worst in the united states. If she turns the dog in, it'll be put to sleep within days. Sorry if some people have compassion for the ones who can't take care of themselves.

  • this world could care less about people take the us owning or living in a apt is not a right.. but im sure if everyone lived on the streets then yea..

    i blame the industrial revolution and finding oil.. to many people born after that and to many problems it was so much better with less people

  • This is the result of outsourcing, the democrats and the republicans are to blame for it. Who in their right mind thought that giving our jobs to chink chinese would made americans live a better life.

  • @rayleigh8 this is the result of gringos being white trash.so all of you will be like theese people homless n eating rats n cats n dogs.i will be in beatyful cancun laufhing at you looser amerimonkys.

  • see

    Iron Mountain report

  • Move to Nth Dakota buy a new house there for $17000 :P

  • Why are these people living in California then? It's cheaper to buy a house than a trailer in some states.

  • I`m suprised and shocked by this. I`m from the UK and I carnt believe that so many people are forced to live this way in the wealthiest country on earth. You can almost see the action now of China rising to high standards of living and Europe and America descending into peasantry. The US governments gone bankrupt spending trillions on war weapons and not one fucking bean on its own society. The 1% in wallstreet however have made trillions from the wars. The system is pure evil.

  • @MrMrBilko No argument from me on the 1% but that's the way of life.

    I learned as a kid-Rich get richer, poor get poorer.

    Dont be so shocked though. Just look at England and rest of UK-plenty of homeless there as well.

    Difference between British and American is that brits are no fools. Even the dumbest Brit understands class and the impact of class.

    Americans are propagandized to foolsihly believe that socio-economic class doesnt matter.

    Tell that to these people.

  • @MultiSmartass1 Ironic isnt it. The reason why your ancestors left Europe for the New World is the very tyranny now being revisited on their descendants. USURY.

  • @MrMrBilko Tyranny comes in different forms. People think there is no such thing as class in the US then shit like this happens.

    People in Europe at least understand class and class unconsciousness.

    People in the US are class unconscious.

    Until soemthing like this happens and they wake up.

  • @OccupationFront I totally agree. Plus with the bugs and poor food at shelters, you also have to watch your belongings so they don't get stolen. My advice for people coming close to homelessness is to buy or lease a fucking van and live in it until your back on your feet.

  • LUCKY!!These people could be stuck in a money sucking house.yuck

  • I'd rather live in a vehicle then live in a homeless shelter or the streets. Yeah the situation in the states is that bad.

  • @NewUser21111 agree with you 100%, but it is so sad that kids have to go thru this , really sad

  • @NewUser21111 Homeless shelters are... horrible places. I'm about to be homeless again, but at least now we own a van, so that's way better than nothing..

  • This is what Jimmy Carter's Community Re-investment Act has done to America.

    This is what Democrats' liberalism has done to America.

    Liberals are bankrupting Americans, and creating massive poverty.

  • @21wf you're a fucking moron.

  • @21wf Exactly. Government interference in the markets and our lives did this. Mandated loans on one hand and the fixing of interest rates on the other - these kinds of policies are insane and lead to disasters.

    Fed manipulation of the monetary system in response to demands from Liberals administrations and Congreses have destroyed the free market system. Capitalism didn't fail at all - governments did!

    Capitalism is the only thing that can save us now.

  • Foreclose on hard working citizens then turn their house into a section 8 dump for the freeloading illegals with anchor babies. What a country!

  • Some of us choose to live in our vans/campers and enjoy it!

  • Wow,...no wonder George Carlin was so RIGHT,..."To believe and dream the American Dream, one has to be asleep and dreamin' ",...er...i think that's how his quote goes, anyone out there can correct me! =P

  • Local governments were taken over by developers decades ago. That's why it's illegal to sleep in a car, or to build a home wthout permits and taxes, or to even pitch a tent and live in it. They want everybody to pay them. (Think Mafia.) You have to leave such places and go where nobody cares. (Think of the pilgrims leaving England in 1620.) That's the way it is.

  • we should consider universal housing. even the Czech republic kept that after going capitalist. housing should be a right, like healthcare and education. we need to think big picture more and kill the insurance companies. this is a great place for rich people, no one else. housing needs to be a need, not a speculative bank.

  • btw this social worker is so hot and nice

  • this is so sad that this happens in America, such a rich country where others could help their neighbor in need.

  • @caitlinisreggaegirl yes, but it's a rich country for only the very few. It's hard to help your neighbor when you are barely getting by yourself

  • @inkey2 nonsense - mean income level Americans make up the upper 1% of wage earners world wide - that means that Americans just above our poverty line are richer than 99% of the rest of the people on earth.

    You'd do well to note that the people being shown here lack motivation, ambition and drive. In each case they seem to have taken the easy way out.

  • @libertechnet mean income has to be factored in with the fact that Americans have to PAY thousands for their health insurance. We have no National Health Care in the USA. I was paying over $9000 a year for private, non-group health insurance. That does not leave much left for food and rent

  • @inkey2 also nonsense. Your supposition is that "nationalized" healthcare has no costs. This is simply untrue and in societies, which have "national healtcare" the costs are outrageous.

    Take France, for example. In addition to MANDATED PRIVATE insurance, people have to pay enormous personal income tax rates and VAT, or Value Added Taxes that spike the prices of many goods by 20%!

    Worse, the French then pay in cash, up front!

    The notion that healthcare is free is pure Bovine Scatology!

  • @libertechnet show me where I said national health care has no costs

  • @inkey2 By saying we have "no national healthcare" and complaining about the costs of private insurance, you seemed to suggest that nationalized healthcare is somehow less costly? Since when is any govt. run program less costly? It may not cost "you", but it costs those that pay effective taxes and payroll taxes (like any small employer like myself does) a great deal of money. I pay over $14,000 per year, per family, for each of my employees, and teh majority of their payroll withholding.

  • barbara harvey was not an attorney, she was a notory public. the australian journalist did not understand the difference between the australian and american meaning of notory, which refers to an attorney in australia and is a menial certificate in usa.

  • @gojuryukarateka The journalist isn't Australian...

  • the economic crash has taken its toll on everyone. i used to make $165,000 a month and now have to get by with 30,000. you may think $30,000 a month is a lot, but when you've lived on 2,000,000 a year for 20 years, 30,000 a month doesn't even come close to paying the bills.

  • Why would it be illegal to sleep in a car? What if you're tired when you're waiting for someone and just fall asleep? I sleep in my parent's car when I'm waiting for them. Why not? It's comfy. I sleep whenever we drive somewhere too. Srsly, this law is stupid.

  • That's SOOO stupid. Many people need to take a nap in the car, what do they want, a bunch of long distance drivers who fall asleep at the wheel? Some people really can't afford to pay for a motel. So they have to stay awake, or drive til they crash? California is a very long state, takes a long time to drive through. SICK stupid state! Made worse by the now departed governator.

  • this sure makes me stop complaining of cold weather in winnipeg

  • people who make fun of people like this need a reality check this is happening everywhere

  • Banks had strict lending criteria for a reason.

    Thanks a lot Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, way to destroy America..... ummm, I mean practice social justice.

    Did I mention that Obama inflated our currency 108% in two years? Just wait til that inflation kicks in, this guy is reporting how much trouble people are having now....... you just wait. Hope and Change baby, hope and change!!

  • Yes this is what happens when you don't Regulate Capitalism and you have some Banks charging a 200% interest rate on morgues......!

  • @METALMAN4Wii This is BECAUSE of the regulation of capitalism. This is liberals forcing banks to loan to unqualified borrowers, creating a sub-prime mortgage bubble.

    No bank charged 200% on any "morgues".

    Capitalism has created vast wealth and the greatest country ever, socialism over regulation and social justice has perverted capitalism to the point where it can no longer sustain.

  • @melardkey Man you've been Brainwashed first Capitalism only helps the Richest 1% it's proven fact. second Country Wide and others had it in small print that they can charge upto 400% in Interest fee's and of course they would give them to anyone. they want to scam them out of there house it's called adjustable an rate morgue or sub prime. but you keep listening to Rush Limbaugh ok, maybe when the Bank screws you out of your house you'll wake up.....?

  • No one makes the choice to live this way! They are not alcoholics or drug addicts! Everyone is effected by the poor economy and the high jobless rate. Please do not judge these people as they dpo want to work and be able to afford a decent home!

  • Cases like this have always happened in the US. Yes, even before the 'housing crisis' or bad economy. tHere have always been people who have financial problems and always been those who live in their car. Life is not perfect - And this video info is not the norm. There are many people and familys who actually choose to live in camper travel vans so they can travel , also plenty who live by choice on boats.

  • @2:55, this woman was victimized by the very own work! Did they mentioned she's one of the lawyers who authorized those risky loans? Well, payback's a bitch! Live with it! These greedy people deserves what they have done to millions of Americans. A coworker of mine who worked as a part time loan officier told me in 2006, her exact words were there are going to be tons of foreclosures in the next few yrs. She knew? Well I mean who wouldn't??? And yet she sells these loans like hot cakes.

  • @reempire888 True but I feel bad for her dog just not her....!

  • Great country, real compasionate and social. :-((

  • Sounds like easy credit and overextended personal finance.

    California is proof that a welfare state and liberal thinking kills an economy.

    I recently retired at 56 and live very comfortably in an area that is very nice. But I did not try to "have everything now" using credit.

  • ok, this may sound ingnorate of me but does the states have any type of goverment system were these people can get a wealfar check or have any support from a homeless shelter or have a system that they have affordable housing through the goverment that is based on there income? we have huge amounts of tax in canada but we do have some type of goverment assistence not the best but its better then nothing.

  • I am doing sort of the same thing seeing i lost my business in the dot com bubble but you can see how i am fighting back.

  • This should be of no surprise sine the media will only tell you what they told to report on. Thank God for youtube

  • This should be of no surprise sine the media will only tell you what they told to report on.

  • sometimes I really hate this country, so many pointless laws

  • According to a government economist in this one documentary I've watched, there has been 6 million foreclosures in the US and they are expecting an additional 9 million to go. That means that up to 15 million American families will lose their homes. Although, it should be significantly lower since not all foreclosures are on the only homes of those families. Many are real estate investments.

  • I can't think about live without home man this is really sucks ! I am very sad about the kids !

  • WTF is this American life ? Oh man it's sucks It's not like in movies and dramas Are those kids don't have education ? OMG our countries are good than this crap

  • Speaking from a non American prospective - I find it hard that the world's richest nation has people living in vehicles. How the hell did it got so bad there?

  • They need to show things like this on t.v. & not a bunch of bullshit.

    This is REAL LIFE here.

  • If you want to move to New York call (203) 322-8808 Barbara you can stay with me or some of my church friends for about two, three or four hundred a month.

  • If you want to move to New York call (203) 223-8808 Barbara you can stay with me or some of my church friends.

  • fuck capitalism

  • @MRTTVD Fuck corporatism aka. fascism.

  • The economic meltdown amounts to theft of equity from millions of homeowners.

    It's not a natural phenomenon, it's just mass theft.

  • tards, gtfo of cali. full of libs....

  • People think countries like America live the American dream, but they don't. There are poor people everywhere. I wish everyone could live this dream.

  • This happen in America? Lol.

  • god bless america

  • Only the wealthy live the American dream.housing is so expensive in the USA that there are more people renting than owning a roof over their head because they're not able to afford it.the US has the highest percent of homeless people in the world.

  • welcome to america ,the lucky country, wake up u fat stupid americans , do ur resurch , the banks are controlling u and ur kids ,

  • Unemployment was in the 4% and 5% range when Bush was president. Its in the 9 and 10 per cent range under Obama.

  • Sobering...

  • Thanks Obama

  • @JawsJaws

    That is actually Bush and the flawed policies of conservatives. Trickle down economics was proven to be trickle on economics decades ago. 30 years ago the wealthiest 3% owned 90% of America's wealth. Presently the wealthiest 1% own 93%. This shift happened during the 8 years GWB was in office. Keep on voting republican and it will get worse and worse!

  • @mrekbass Go ahead and pass the blame....typical liberal

  • @JawsJaws

    Sorry bud, you're off track. I simply pointed out the facts.

    You in fact passed the blame. Typical conservative!

  • @mrekbass Unemployment has doubled under Obama. For some reason it wont let me post all the info I had written down. Look it up yourself. By the way, Im independant.

  • @mrekbass Check out the link I put on your comments page then get back to me.

  • You see on my channel i doing a real original style of living in a astro van doing business online.Living on superfood diet

  • The housing crises has created a new generation of indiginous peoples who move around and live on their own. Its kind of a good thing.

  • The thing is, for those who work dayshift and sleep at night, they have to be very careful about where to park and such. For those who work nights, it's alot easier to sleep in a car as the malls and shopping centers are busy with customers and the cops are out patrolling high crime areas.

    While it's a pain on your days off, the nightshift workers usually have an eaiser time parking. I use ear plugs to quell most noise (And they work) and so I am able to get the sleep I need.

  • @spe315effect same here man, god bless our mothers

  • How is a notary public a lawyer??

    

  • @anotheraka It’s not hard to size you up Erika..You are a product of the Liberal Socialist UC system that you over stayed your welcome..Until Mom and Dad kicked you out! You most likely live with another woman as to not suffer another bad relationship with a man. You must live in West LA or Santa Monica or even Venice? You at 37 still don’t know what direction you want to go and have had many differant Jobs! You hate the rich because you don’t believe in personal accountability!

  • @razoredge45 You replied to me, and not whoever you are fighting with. Get it together, if Erica could afford the UC system she'd have a degree. This makes no sense.

  • I really have empathy for these people.

  • that what happens when loans get easy!!

  • I am a security guard, I work 14, 16 hours a day, pay child support and medical insurance for me and my son. I do not go out ever, don't drink nor smoke, a real athlete and powerlifter, who studies the entire night on my car, and I live in my ford windstar, which I park in a underground parking garage. All my life is in a storage. My son had to go live again with his mom because after the Child support and health insurance, there is no way that I can pay rent in CA. I Work like a slave for what?

  • @zartanlaw ya need to move out of ca

  • @zartanlaw for your son and to live. what are you studying?

  • @zartanlaw I salute you.. I really do. Thanks for being a true man..

  • @zartanlaw You work like a slave for your son. But for the future of America, your son, and yourself, please join Ron Paul's movement to End the PRIVATELY-OWNED Federal Reserve!

    Watch "The Money Masters" for more information :)

  • @zartanlaw are you at a library on a computer or? how come you cant stay with your mom?

  • @zartanlaw Get out of Ca. I left eureka ca 6 yrs ago and now I have a 40 acre farm here in Mo. I am happy here and I dont miss ca at all!

  • @zartanlaw

    You are an amazing human being. Please respect yourself because you contribute to this world through your child. You are a valuable person and God loves you!

  • @zartanlaw we are slaves, and its gonna get worst before it gets better. we have to make a stand

  • @zartanlaw we are slaves, and its gonna get worst before it gets better. we have to make a stand. ANY state will gladly spend 30k a year to put a man in prison but theres very little in help of any kind from the government.

  • @zartanlaw life ia a frustration unless we believe in the eternity live in heaven.

  • @zartanlaw Get a roommate.

  • @zartanlaw Take courage.  Things are going to get worse before they get better. Take the time to examine the bible with Jehovah's witnesses. You will find that the kingdom of God is gong to get rid of homelessness...slaving for life, etc.

  • @zartanlaw were are you from???

  • Santa Barbara? Living at the beach? If I lost my home I wouldn’t be living at the beach..I couldn’t afford that when things were great! (What BS!) Try picking your ass's up and moving to a state that has jobs! OK next time save your money when things are pumping.. Old Rick? living in his van for 25 years and its tough getting laid, all these people have had choices and they made bad ones, But if you expect me to feel sorry for someone that insist on living at the beach your mistaken!

  • @razoredge45 Let me guess, mommy and daddy paid for your college or you are of some ethnicity that allowed you a free ride. Not everyone gets that. Maybe you are much older and acquired your home and assets when things were different? Maybe you work in a union where you get free healthcare, retire early at 50 and get a full paid salary for 40 yrs?? I doubt your playing field was leveled the same.

  • @anotheraka

    Are you out of your mind? I dropped out at 15 and went to work for my dad, till his death(broke at 64) He only lavished one thing on me, a work ethic! And no one was ever going to take care of me! So dont expect it! I have raised 5 Kids on a single income in the same 2000sf home of 21 years that I saved up for my down payment, I pay 675 a month for health insurance..SO FUCK YOU! you are more then welcome to come out and see how lavish my life style is anytime! Pitty the poor?

  • the elites' (bankers/federal reserve) mission is to own all property so we all have to pay whatever rent they charge. I wouldn't be suprised if they make it illegal to be homeless one day, we are already half way there!

  • @00John316 Plus in the 80's and 90's the government used tax payers money to buy massive amounts of property.

  • I can't understand how it's illegal to sleep in a car but not illegal to not have a better option for these folks. If you lose your home, you don't just evaporate. You have to lay your head somewhere.  No limit to stupid laws in this nation!

  • @trj1922 IT was made illegal so you dont just park in front of someones house and never move..

  • @haha48 Ok fine, so if they can't park in front of your house and sleep in the car, do they sleep on your lawn, in your stairwell, in front of your garage? Homeless people still have to be somewhere (as much as we all don't like to think about that fact) which is why just making it illegal to sleep in a car doesn't count as a solution in my mind.

  • @trj1922 It's because they want to force people into the system. Buying property, houses, debt. FUCK that. I plan on living in a van BY CHOICE. Keep my money that I would spend on housing costs and travel this great country, and have true freedom.

  • @trj1922 think if every1 was doing it, then it would be a problem

  • @geppegep Of course it would be a problem. My point is that without a better solution, what would you have these people do? 

  • @trj1922  I agree

  • Comment removed

  • @trj1922 Welcome to the obama soscialist dream for america. Goes to prove QE sucks but the UK government is still not sure.

  • And at the same time those people live in such poverty, fucking bankers and traders are making millions of dolalrs and live in luxury houses or mansions. A total shame

  • Financial greed has caused this problem.

    The banks have created a new America.

    A nation of the homeless.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • @GeorgeVreelandHill

    "Financial greed has caused this problem.

    The banks have created a new America."

    No. Apathetic citizens have caused this problem by allowing it to happen and just sitting around going, 'Oh well, that's just the way it is.'

    Freedom and liberty isn't a self-sustaining source. You have financial sociopaths looking to take it currently, we need to take it back. Washington and Jefferson would have already started a body count loooong ago.

  • You could go even further. By ditching the van and trailer, you could not pay rent, taxes, or gasoline. You could enjoy Gods green Earth the way it was intended at the beginning, Scott free!

  • Fuck California, talk about fiscal insanity, hell, they're worse than the federal government. Also, everything causes cancer in California. lol. I almost lived in my car after a layoff in '08. Lost my 3 bedroom townhouse after 3 months of paying rent on savings... fucking sucked. I know how it feels, and I had money put away even, I was still screwed after not being able to find a job.

  • Fuck California, talk about fiscal insanity, hell, they're worse than the federal government. Also, everything causes cancer in California. lol.

  • California sucks...

  • In a van down by the river.

  • these people are better off than a lot of people

  • sad this is america?? whats obama doing for the poor.. NOTHING things are getting worse not better. the keep tring to lie to us saying its getting better. there are new jobs they say . where???? where are they people need to help each other more try doing something nice for someone

  • Thank you for creating this, good work...so important. I'm sure that since 2008 there are all the more people in this situation.

  • try buying a van to live in when you have $463 in your checking acound and $-25 in savings all cc maxed out

  • the shameful thing is the banks that take the homes away from people that even have been paying for 25yrs or 28yrs then something happens & the bank shits all over you and attacks like a shark out for blood Banks are blood sucking monsters

  • stupid fucking americans-------i dont feel sad for those greedy assholes living outside their means. It is not a "mortgage crisis" is is a crisis of stupidity.

  • @aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa Where do you live... lol...

  • YOU CAN BOON-DOCK IN WAL-MART PARKING LOTS (((NO JOKE)))

  • people who lost their homes in vast majority were stupid a minority had real problems ,why buy a house with monthly payments half your wage for 30 years the best economists can't tell you what's going to happen in 30 years ,banks must be forbiden to give loans for more than 10 years and that for 25% of the wage only in short term like 3-5 years to give loans at 50% o the wage.and btw these people don't have families friends to keep them inside? are they weirdows? are amricans so bad people ?

  • @iooo007

    How can people losing their homes be a stupid minority when it clearly correlates with factors out of their control, such as the economy? You are the stupid one by the looks of your mindless argument. However, libertarians do seem to be inherently detached from reality.

  • @Dovenpeis man economy is a result of people buying and working decizions so to say that the economy is something out of their control is stupid ,and btw did people who borrowed at 20-25% of their income lose their homes? or people who borrowed at 50% ? that's the real problem banks were alowed to do that but people should've known better in 30 years nothing can happen to you ? or your family ? that's the stupidity of the people and then comes the crimes of the banks regulators and fed .

  • Comment removed

  • @iooo007

    How can the result, of the economic works of a collective attribute as the people, be something the individual controls? This does not make any sense at all. In fact, claims such as these demonstrate libertarian’s detachment from reality. This detachment from reality is further demonstrated by more unreal libertarian claims. In reality, it is actually not possible for the average US citizen to buy a home at the unrealistically low price of 25 % of their income.

  • I grew up digging aluminun cans out of dumpsters. We were dirt poor, and I learned a lot about how to survive. I am blessed now to have a good job, but I didn't forget those lessons of years ago. If you don't have the cash DON'T BUY IT! Yes that goes for your house too. We lived in a small apartment for years, saving our money. When we had enough we bought some land and started a garden. We continued to save until we had enough to build the house. We are still saving to finish it. God Bless.

  • @HaydnRocker

    Firstly, I do not believe you. In real life, your chances would be better at winning the lottery.

    Secondly, how is this supposed to be an argument? In the real world, there are simply not enough opportunities for everyone to go around. This is demonstrated by a simplified example. If the world was a company of ten employees, and a single opportunity for an advancement occurred, only one of the employees would actually get the advancement. The remaining nine would… well, remain.

  • @Dovenpeis What do you mean you don't believe me? When I was old enough I got a job in a factory and saved enough money to buy a used computer. (Texas Instruments 99/4A). I got books from the library and learned how to program it. Later got an IBM compatible. Finally I got a job with an IT company babysitting the network at night. While there I fixed programs that weren't working and got moved into development. All this without even graduating highschool. Today I'm in marketing.

  • You have to grow up and realize that you can be put out of your home at any time. NEVER live check to check. Save your money! I see homeless people with pets! What is that about? You can't feed yourself and you want more mouths to feed? Stop expecting the government to take care of you! You have to be responsible for yourself and your family.

  • I wonder if church parking lots are a good place to park over night?

  • @Christopher711 Yes, But they could hassle you with conversion talk? :-(

  • I wish these people well.

  • That last gal was really fat. I don't think things were all that bad for her.

  • @CitizenKane380 In this country being fat is more of a symptom of poverty than prosperity because of the unhealthy diet.

  • @ 6:30 why is that guy playing a driving game? He lives in a van.

  • oh man that limo driver is my freaking idol! the moment he started showing his solar powered van and his fridge, i had a thought that "be awesome if you can play video games" and LO and be-freakin hold he's got Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2!

    If I can live in a solar/wind powered van with a working tv and play burnout all day, jesus christ that would be a dream.

  • If this is what will happen to most of us we need to keep our familys together. And make the best of it. No matter how bad it gets Please your head up and look for the good. To the best of everything I know look for the good do not despair look for the good and God bless you all.

  • @jlwftl

    What I find disturbing is the fact that you are insinuating we should ignore the political root of these problems in order to religiously awake. Is your religion really all about being wholeheartedly stupid servants of the rich and well to do, aka the capitalist system?

  • guess what people without cars are doing right now

  • @RondoRaven living in houses and or apartments? lol. I get that if you have a family its a little more difficult... but come on... anyone can rent a room in a HOUSE for super cheap, probably for less than you would spend on gas driving around all day looking for places to sleep/live. Basically if you are single you wont ever have to live in a car/van (unless you want to). And if you cant afford a family you probably shouldnt start one.

  • @YourLoveLetter what is this I don't even

  • @RondoRaven I was taking a guess.. lol. You said guess what people without cars are doing right now.

  • I salute you for helping people sir. I know it is your job but I have a friends who got his degree in social work but he doesn't posess the neccessary gene to want to help anyone more than himself. You are t be admired for your efforsts! I worked 32 years in corporate America and I was ashamed of what I heard in downsizing meeting. COMPLETE SELFISHNESS! Imorality !!!!!!!

  • part of me hopes the crisis worsens, just so ppl can realize that the monetairy system NEEDS to be abolished. the venus project needs to be realized!!

  • @ClearMetalVoltar The venus project?

  • Kudos to the social worker.

  • Pverty is illegal in California. Just great. The government causes homelessness and then they make that a crime.

  • That family in the trailer is not homeless....That trailer is kinda spacious and they live in front of the beach...That trailer is expensive...Just sell it and rent an apartment....They're living there by choice.....Their situation is not that bad compared to the others.

  • In Morocco and Russia they LEAVE poor people to their coping strategies (shanty towns etc.) whereas in America its ILLEGAL ! We bulldoze and prosecute the coping strategies of the poor. Yes, it was indeed quite a shock to me to realize that America is meaner to the poor in that way than Morocco and Russia!

    Yes, America has a higher incarceration rate than Russia and Morocco as well. MEAN. Its illegal to do this and an "eyesore" to grow food in the yard or hang clothes out to dry. MEAN.

  • I have a good job, money in the bank and excellent credit... but I still look at my minivan every once in a while and feel lucky that I have a backup plan. You never know. This is what happens when you fight two wars on money borrowed from Chinam and ship manufacturing jobs overseas, while trying to lower taxes on the rich, and pander to special interests..

  • I feel so sorry for the kids....

  • there were 16% more Millionaires in 2010 in the USA>

  • lol, obviously this family is filled with stupid, defective whites, it's too bad their white brothers aren't around to help them out, these people should of never been born.
