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:

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.
