zeitgeist had this embedded in another thread. It needs its own thread as Bobo let it slip that she is on to us.

Number of Families in Homeless Shelters Rises
   
Source: The New York Times

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — For a few hours at the mall here this month, Nick Griffith, his wife, Lacey Lennon, and their two young children got to feel like a regular family again.

Never mind that they were just killing time away from the homeless shelter where they are staying, or that they had to take two city buses to get to the shopping center because they pawned one car earlier this year and had another repossessed, or that the debit card Ms. Lennon inserted into the A.T.M. was courtesy of the state’s welfare program.

They ate lunch at the food court, browsed for clothes and just strolled, blending in with everyone else out on a scorching hot summer day. “It’s exactly why we come here,” Ms. Lennon said. “It reminds us of our old life.”

For millions who have lost jobs or faced eviction in the economic downturn, homelessness is perhaps the darkest fear of all. In the end, though, for all the devastation wrought by the recession, a vast majority of people who have faced the possibility have somehow managed to avoid it.

and it only going to get worse, while most Americans ignore it. Hell, even here for that matter. One poster (an old timer) here today talked about "transient garbage". Unreal.

You said it. :hi5: I totally agree.
I feel bad for people that have lost their jobs or their homes, but if Obummer wanted to "fix" the job situation, it would have been done, especially with all that money in the so called, "stimulus" bill.
What's also ironic is, didn't Obummer say last week that he was going to pass a 50 billion jobs bill to help spur job growth and today his economic advisor comes on to say that unemployment will continue to remain high? Do these people really think we're stupid? Where is that money going to then if it won't help lower unemployment, the exact thing the bill is written for? I would really like to ask the administration questions like that. I can only imagine the answers I would get. :whatever:

What the HELL is wrong with a government job, State,  or Town.?

Military, Police, Fireman, Defence Workers, the states have to hire workers to repair bridges, fight forest fires, give out drivers licenses, and guard our jails and prisons.   

Lots of Government jobs out there of one kind or another that is very understaffed and a GED or High School diploma is all it takes to qualify.

The taxes of the private sector pay the wages of Government workers. When happens when the number of Government works equals those in the private sector?

Nothing wrong with Govt jobs in general however, when govt jobs outnumber private sector jobs that creates a huge problem. It would be like a huge corporation selling the final product for a dollar each and having more employees than customers.
