Bushville


By Zamboni

In another echo of The Great Depression, folks who have lost their jobs and homes are living in tents — at least in Sacramento, California.

We cats wonder where else in America this is happening? Because if Sacramento is just the tip of the iceberg, we obviously have to give this phenomenon a name. Our first suggestion is in the headline of this post.

However, the possibilities are endless — because the folks who helped bring us to the brink of this abyss are pretty numerous, too. So let's consider "Cheneyville," "Paulsontown," "Greenspan Acres," "Bernanke Heights," "Grammburg," "Fuldport," "Mt. Thain" and, last but not least, "Cramer's Corners."
