Probably not as much as some, but I am selling my truck soon, and using the cash to literally by a ton of staple foods, and store it in a small public storage area prepaid for a year.
"America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain't no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and thereforre more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters...
"Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for an American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves."
-Vonnegut, "Mother Night"

Its hard for me to believe people are still talking about "recovery" and denying the pain that is so obviously growing.
All over the net in threads like this, there is always some trollish type ready to bark out a variation of: "There are plenty of jobs out there...If you can't find work it must be your own fault for being a lazy smelly welfare hippie or something."

I so agree.
But those who ignore the growing problem or deny its existence are surly not to blame for not knowing the truth.
The media does nothing to educate people on this problem, and does more to detail Tiger Wood's sex scandal then to prepare the public for anything serious.
