Our county's idea of helping someone is throwing them in jail criminalizing them and having people forget about them. Tell me why the unemployment rate is so low when their are no jobs and no one can find work. I'll tell you why it's because the government set it up that way to band-aid the truth and keep people in the dark of how bad this country has really gotten. The unemployment rate only counts people that have filed for unemployment claims. They don't count people that get laid off from part-time work or people that run out of unemployment and can't find work. Or the countess homeless that would love to work, but no one will hire them because they are homeless. Unless things change this is going to be how the rest of the country is if it is not that way already. Then we will all be just a nation of refugees.
