America Is A Horror Show says 'The Wire' Creator David Simon

Many people who are long term unemployed are very educated, college grads of today are more educated in more different things than ever before!
Education is not the problem. More debt slaves, not producers is what is needed by the elite. 






David Simon doesn't like to mince words. The creative genius behind such acclaimed television shows as 'The Wire' and 'Treme' has never been one to keep his opinions to himself. But the former Baltimore Sun reporter and screenwriter may have outdone himself, however, when he delivered an epic address on American inequality. Simon originally made his speech on Nov. 2 during the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney, Australia. The address gained attention over the weekend when various outlets published excerpts online.'* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
 David Simon : And so in my country you're seeing a horror show. You're seeing a retrenchment in terms of family income, you're seeing the abandonment of basic services, such as public education, functional public education. You're seeing the underclass hunted through an alleged war on dangerous drugs that is in fact merely a war on the poor and has turned us into the most incarcerative state in the history of mankind, in terms of the sheer numbers of people we've put in American prisons and the percentage of Americans we put into prisons. No other country on the face of the Earth jails people at the number and rate that we are.
