Margaret Bourke-White: History repeats

Nothing new under the sun

America 1932 or 2008? These folks lied on their mortgage application, the lenders colluded in the fraud, and now the four remaining taxpayers in the United States are expected to bail these felons out – the crooks in the car, that is. The people in the line are working folk.

Thank you, Margaret Bourke-White. The only difference today is that the undischarged bankrupts will be driving to the soup kitchen this time, not walking. You can sleep in a car but you cannot drive a house.
