At 8.30 tonight, a chance to laugh at the poverty of the "greatest nation on Earth".

Seems like taking the piss out of Greek poverty is a big joke, so let's all laugh at the starving yanks.

the sadness in the US is that in a land of plenty that we have so much surplus we pay farmers not to grow shit and we send free aid to other countries we fail to aid our own.

They choose to live that way. Otherwise they could be CEOs someplace.

I feel the same frustration here - homeless people in one of the countries that apprently 'survived' the world economic downturn.
Why do we send foreign aid when our own citizens need the help?
