Bread Lines

In Detriot, thousands of people line up for applications for housing and utility bill assistance. From stimulus "recovery" funding.

City officials said a total of about 65,000 people over the past few days have gotten applications -- due next Wednesday -- for a share of $15.2 million in federal stimulus money to help people avoid foreclosure or quickly rebound from homelessness.

Ultimately, as few as 3,500 people may receive the help.

"Thank you Barack Obama."

It was a typical mess, too many people, not enough handouts, so naturally people get pissed off. Awesomely, they blame the city of Detroit (easy bitch target, I'll grant you that).

Limbaugh's been playing clips recorded by WJR's Ken Rogulski who interviewed people standing in line, waiting for their share from "Obama's stash."

This is "economic recovery" in action.
