The US is bankrupt but our officials and media lie to us and keep saying
"the recession is over". What they don't say following is "the
depression is here." But they'll say that more jobs have been created
but *not* say that they're all low paying jobs. There are a lot of
people with even advanced degrees who can no longer find work.
Then you have the health insurance debacle. Folks who had healthcare
with their company didn't want it though those who didn't needed some
help there. The better solution would have been Single Payer which
would be Medicare for everyone. But the great USA is a capitalist's
dreamworld or a nation of whores (you have to sell something to survive,
usually you soul). So we couldn't just shove the health insurance
companies and their robber baron schemes aside and have Single Payer.
Not that it would have hurt those companies, it would have just expanded
their market for supplemental policies they shove at Medicare recipients.
What the corporations liked was keeping their wage slaves tethered to
the company for the benefits. I recall when I got my software
management job everyone asked about the benefits not the pay. I could
have cared less about the benefits as the pay was good. And being a
hiring manager I learned that those benefits actually don't come free.

Salyavin,
Because that would probably violate some city codes or federal laws.
It was a joke John, for some reason the idea of just turning out the
slums and making them all homeless so we can have some nice gardens
tickled me. Sort of the culmination of capitalism really. Maybe I've
lived under the Tories for too long...
