Put your head around these numbers: Military vets make up 11% of our population and 25% of our homelessness. Many of those vets were kids struggling in high school and going nowhere when they were recruited for the military. After likely fighting a corporate war, they came home with nowhere to go except a park bench.
Another story had easy to connect dots: Some toys produced with cheaper China labor is found in America toy stores and they contain chemical poisons. Homeland security worries about terrorists while communist China poisons our kids. Those outsourced toy manufacturing jobs sure enough have a 'big price' for the American consumer yet a huge pay day for corporations that bitch about taxes while attempting to 'break the labor unions.'
Wanna guess whose kids don't fight wars and don't sleep on park benches.
