the truth is real ugly
by Days

it is sad that is so ugly..... and maybe it is sadder that it is so completely unknown. I've got another top post going up on this subject as soon as c/p this for you....

This was the first top post in Bottom Line that led to the Linked one above:

how many foreclosures? how many homeless?

Ben Bernanke says that the recession is ending... those are his numbers. But his numbers Lie. His numbers only tell what the corporations and the banks and the government are sending into action... you can do bigger numbers with less people, it is called productivity (we used to call it hording). So, let me ask you Ben, since the recession is ending, what is happening to the masses? Is foreclosure ending? Is hunger ending? Is homelessness ending? Is bankruptcy ending? What are those numbers, Ben?

We called it a depression, not because economic indicators were negative, but because people were depressed. No jobs, lost homes, lost farms, nothing to eat, and homeless people... but nothing close to the homeless numbers we have today. In the last ten months we lost five million jobs in America. Over a quarter million foreclosures still happen every month; most of them ar families being tossed in the street. When Barack Obama was running for president he talked about the vast numbers of homeless people, that we didn't have enough food in the food banks to feed them all; now that he is president, he talks up the numbers, he talks "recovery", but we still add another million homeless every quarter.

According to the central bankers who stole the nation a century ago, their numbers are getting better. They say we are pulling out of a severe recession. According to the streets filled with families tossed from their homes by those same central bankers, this is a depression... and it is getting worse.
