39. K & R
Right on, from Detroit!

We have EMPTY homes here, going to
wrack and ruin, because there are
not enough people with good paying
jobs to keep them up.

Even if you squat in a "free house",
you've gotta come up with money for
health care, heat, water, food, etc.

It's impossible on $10.00/hour jobs.

So many people had manageable debt--
when they had JOBS or businesses that
were making money.

That has all changed now.

We have been screaming for 10 years
here in Michigan, but the rest of the
country (and, in truth, many here in
MICHIGAN itself), has been blaming
UNIONS and taxes for ruining manufacturing.

The race to the bottom on WAGES is what
has caused, and will continue to RUIN
our economy.
