Thousands of middle-class U.S. families are being forced to sleep on floors in public buildings because so many have lost their homes and jobs in the economic crisis.
These shelters were once the preserve of drug addicts and alcoholics but now normal Americans are having to bed down in halls and corridors as they have no other place to go.
An investigation has also found many from the Midwest are spending their benefits to stay in motels for up to ten days a month to avoid having every night on mattresses surrounded by dozens of strangers.
Experts say that these middle-class people are from 'the boom suburbs that have now gone bust'.

New rules allow Mexican trucks on the road.
Not going to get better.
>>>... in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The headline says “Midwest”. Albuquerque, New Mexico ain’t “midwest”... #justsayin’
Not that I am informing you all of anything, but every day they make clear they will defend to the end the programs that are bankrupting our country.
When society totally breaks down, when de-urbanization is complete, when a few pounds of scrap metal is worth more than a monthly Social Security check, when the homeless and church shelters are overwhelmed, what will happen?
I know this; the people will demand the pols “do something,” and that something will resemble totalitarian control. Like almost every republic before us, we will end up in tyranny unless we stop the head first dive now.
And for a final insult to a once free people, Dingy Harry is giving a perverted lesson on the Constitutional Convention. What a SOS.
I think much of it is BS... hay around here is $6 a bale. I don’t know where he is buying his hay at $200 a bale!
Alfalfa for Sale, 1st Cutting, Big Round Bales, No Rain, $150 ton & $90 ton
******
“Brett Porter, who farms 3,000 hectares, unrolls the last of his hay in front of a thirsty line of prime Angus cattle. With just 18 bales left, and at $200 (£123) a bale on the open market, when he runs out he will have to sell the cows.”
As for Maurice, the "successful" manager of a car dealership or fleet or whatever, his criminal history would make him unemployable anywhere, anytime.
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 !!

of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
