They want to follow the new black panther plan and kill off all the crackers and their kids, that way there would be plenty of jobs for the minorities after we are all dead.

The interest on 200 trillion is at least 20 trillion a year if you or I were to buy it. They are now adding to it at a couple trillion and borrowing like crazy to cover the interest.

EVERY face of these unemployed were 50-ish former yuppies with great incomes that are now dumpster diving and using food banks just to get by.

from local articles O-Hoof, here in Michigan....

Ann Arbor with it's high public services and giving college kids have an estimated 4800 homeless living in the woods and Detroit 20,000 or more...

It’s the Clintons at work.

Yep, time to call in some chips with their media allies. They see an opening; watch for even more stories like this after the election as its now clear to the Clinton supporters that Obama has lost his mojo and is vulnerable.

Obama is destroying America with the direction of William Ayers, the Pentagon Bomber and Rabid Communist! And finally it takes CBS 60 Minutes to break the story! Where was The GOP and FOX News?
This is an Atrocity! And Horribly Shameful! Hitler didn’t have this much control over His German Propaganda Machine!

You forgot. The people who would love to kill all the crackers don’t want to work.

Something is changing here.

Yes it is. The Liberal Anti-American Media Establishment (LAAME) has decided that if they have to tell the truth to make money, they will.

Retail and fast food that typically hire for minimum wage are not interested in hiring college degree holders with years of experience. Even if you tell them you’ll happily take the minimum wage.

Grossly overqualified employees have a well-earned reputation as trouble waiting to happen. After the initial gratitude wears off, they tend to become bored easily, are hypercritical of areas completely outside their current station and do not fit in with their peers, above and beyond the virtual certainty that they’ll bail at the first opportunity to return to their former careers and rate of compensation.

It’s awful for people unemployed and trapped there in this economy, but it’s a truism that has long been demonstrated in the workforce.
