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.

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!

@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?

[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?

People couldn't buy food in the depression.

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

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 .
