Poor America - P a n o r a m a [B B C]documentary on Obama's change
YouTube BBC video ^

POOR AMERICA

With one and a half million (1.5 million) American children now homeless, reporter Hilary Andersson meets the school pupils who go hungry in the richest country on Earth. From those living in the storm drains under Las Vegas to the tent cities now springing up around the United States, P a n o r a m a finds out how the poor are surviving in America and asks whatever happened to the supposed 'government' and the Real People in charge - those who you 'don't see' pulling on the strings; and their vision and welfare for the country.

Could this be a form of 'Social cleansing' without the need of war or disease inflicted by the orchestrators - simply a controlled bout of poverty? Or is this the forced education that only condition children to know only a certain amount of knowledge that can only ever see them progress in working environments such as confined offices within the 'Human Zoo' qualities within the desperately overcrowded cities.

Why are our children not educated properly - to be able to survive communally with real craft and building skills? Is the social mobility (as in other 'rich countries' such as the UK) only fairing the rich; the wealthy and the 'clever elite'; the white collar criminal, as per usual?

When a Republican is President, state-controlled media talks about the homeless non-stop, no matter how few there are.

When a Democrat is President, state-controlled media never talks about the homeless, no matter how many there are.

I’d like to see these “1.5 million CHILDREN homeless”.

Where are they?

I find it funny seeing a write-up mentioning “education” just barely squeeking by when the writing here itself is very poor.

In a way this is good. Yes things are much worse since 0ero came to office (really the downturn started in early 2007 when the ‘RATs took Congress).

But it isn’t because of Republicans.

And no things are not getting better, they are getting worse in spite of the “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” theme of the LSM.

"how do ‘poor’ people always have enough money for smokes?"

Or cell phones to take calls from the shelters?

If the reporterette was a ship she would capsize to the left....

If the republicans have their way... bla, bla bla,

I get the wiff of a leftist swine agenda who should look at their own f'ed up country! No problem in the UK.
