Bushvilles (Tent Cities) In The USA.... From the BBC

Over at the EENR blog, pioneer has posted a short diary about the emergence of new tent cities in Los Angeles, CA.

I believe that we all of seen or heard about "tent cities" through out the years, if not in your community then most likely on the news.
I have seen them in person, read about and heard about the fights between communities, churches and the homeless and all that goes with them. Nobody wants them in their back yard, but these people must live somewhere.

Now we have a new breed of homeless living in "tent cities", they are the couples and families that have lost their homes due to the mortgage mess AND the lack of TRUE Universal Health Care!

While our media is fixated on the "Ballot Bowl", a pastor, an ex VP candidate, the presidential candidates and ALL of the nonsense that has been going on around them, it takes the foreign press (oh what an EVIL word - right?) - the BBC - to help enlighten us and bring us back to reality.

See the BBC video at YouTube.

This presidential race is not really about Democrats and Republicans. It is not really about left and right. It is not about Clinton and Obama. It is about You and I - We The Poeple! It is about staying focused on the real problems at hand, the real messes we have to clean up and the inept congress!

We need Action not "Ballot Bowls". We need to focus on Reality not Spin. We all need to Open our eyes and use Our Heads and remember WHY we are all here. Why we need to stay focused on on reality.

If you truly live in reality and really care then you know the way forward is with a Democratic president that has We The People riding their ass!

Remember the people, your friends, your neighbors and Take Back This Country and Move It Forward!

Re: Bushvilles (Tent Cities) In The USA.... From t (2.00 / 2)

This is a national tragedy and the MSM does noting, we hear nothing, this is an outrage.  While this loose talk about race is taking up our time, our fellow citizens are being forced out on the street of our cities and living on the damned street.

Who really cares about race in the face of this kind of thing?  I am so damned tired of the Obama campaign thinking that it is all about them and Obama.  Hillary has been talking about this crisis while everyone else is just talking.  She has proposed an intervention over this issue, but Obama, with his financial and real estate and insurance backers, talks instead of the problem with people getting homes they couldn't afford and how we don't want to reward those who bought unwisely.  (The Nation Magazine)

When will we see that Hillary has already proposed a solution to help with this crisis.  Where is any leadership from Obama on this thing?  He is so ready to tackle this race issue in America, but that is not the pressing crisis in this country, what is ailing this country can be seen in every neighborhood in this country.  It is economic collapse where people live paycheck to paycheck and don't have health insurance and for some not even a roof over their heads.  This is an outrage!

Where is the justice on this issue, it is common in every community black, white, Hispanic.  We don't need any more on the plate.  We do need solutions to these problems, we have answers but what good will those answers be if they are not given the chance of being brought into being.  This is why over half of all democrats are voting for Hillary Clinton instead of Obama, and it has nothing to do with race, even though Obama is making about race.  It does have to do with her being able and ready and having answers to our problems.
