It‘s only a matter of time before the deluge.”
“America isn‘t poor. There‘s always money for war: to invade Afghanistan, to invade Iraq, to build so many new military bases that — it‘s true — even the Pentagon might not know how many there are. What there isn‘t is money for average people. Unemployment benefits run out after a few months. After those paltry assistance payment ends, it‘s your tough luck, your problem.

Ack!!!!! Yes yes yes!!!
