In Sacramento, California, tent cities populated by the recently made homeless have begun springing up in a scene reminiscent of the Hoover Great Depression era. This is yet another sign of bad economic times, and reflects the need for real change, not based on ideology but on the practical needs of the people.

Tent Cities ?

Is this a film set? Cant believe that this is really happening in USA - 2009 !!

Shameful. How can you feel comfortable as a nation allowing your elite banking community to fleece your citizens, and leave the victims to a life such as this ?

USA - the best democracy money can buy.
