[lbo-talk] The sharp, sudden decline of America's middle class

[shag carpet bomb]

god does that elicit traumatizing flashbacks of the terror of being "in 
crisis", trying to get help, and being told that, with $5 in the bank, a 
car worth $3000, a kid and an apartment, you are eligible for nothing. you 
can go stand in line for five hours and see if someone might be able to 
scrape together a loan from some emergency fund. you can go try to food 
banks but they are all 10 miles away at the other end of the county and you 
don't have bus fare or gas money to go. or go fill out a 3 ring binder full 
of applications and a long as some long ass occupational safety tests for 
jobs at a temp job service so you can wash dishes somewhere -- never quite 
sure if getting questions right about what and what isn't safe or hazardous 
on the job will disqualify you or not.
