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.

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

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

@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.

[DieRotEule]

@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?

[DieRotEule]

@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.

[steppinthrumyshadow]

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

[shawnabgoode]

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

[patsaxon]

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.

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

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