Maurice Henderson was until recently a successful manager of a vehicle fleet, who has lost that job and his home.

Distress: Maurice Henderson and his young family are in the shelter after he lost his job and later his home

He, his wife Roseangel, and their small children, are sleeping on the floor of a church in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

'When you have lost a job and you have to downgrade, and those bills start racking and stacking up. You sell you car, you cannot pay bills and you lose your home and then you end up here.'

I was about to say that the homeless rearing their heads under a Democrat administration is ... unexpected.

But, this is the foreign press. They don’t get the memo sometimes.

I just spent 15 minutes posting a reply about what I may have to do myself but I felt it would be too depressing and would paint myself as someone looking for sympathy.

Every agency wants its revenue, and they are coming, if you are behind they will find a way to strip you of everything, even if the net income is minimal.

The tax man cometh, and they are hiring.

Nobody in DC wants to correlate the rising debt ceiling with declining jobs.

The rising debt ceiling has two consequences....

more regulation ...

to occupy employees in expanding federal bureaucracies...which expand because “they have more money” and another layer of bureaucrats need their 20 year promotions... Each round of regulatory expansion is the effective equivalent of another targeted tax increase on the object of the regulation.

more taxes...

The rising debt ceiling has demands and expectations of creditors for new elements of “revenue raising” by the Feds...taxes or fees.

In this strangling environment job creation is simply NOT possible.

In fact the only logical conclusion..can be ..is that the Federal apparatus -initially an asset to the United States..by virtue of its abilities to raise an effective Navy in the late 1700’s, and early 1800’s to facilitate overseas trade on behalf of the States, has become nothing other than the States greatest liability at this point in time. In the absence of profound regulatory and taxation reform-which is not capable of coming from the same minds that created the problem..we may well be at the end of the line.

For DC to face this fact...means the end of the K St-Congressional Party cycle in DC-the one that keeps repeating “2.4Trillion” as their mantra.

IMHO...the only solution is a 50 state secession from DC at this point...with a completely new “Constitutional Re-Federalization”...

If only these communities could have had the “help” of the epa for a couple decades prior to these depressionary times, the citizenry would have been much more accepting of the small move on to grinding poverty.

Meanwhile, 30 million ILLEGAL PARASITES are working under the table, enjoying their section 8 housing, their food stamps, their TANF, their free medical care, ad nauseum. Which is why they drive new cars while the folks in the story are sleeping in shelters.

DEPORT THE DAMN ILLEGALS, AND THEIR ANCHOR BABIES, NOW !!
