What can I say.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBRZw5kd474 ...actually this song just about says it all for me.
US unemployment level has rise to a staggering 15 million?!? Michael Lind of New America Foundation just yesterday affirmed that US unemployment level is just fewer than 19%, which means with US population over 300 million, excluding the under aged and pensioners, US real unemployment is well over 30 million and rising. Unfortunately that is the grim reality for the declining US imperialists.
