Unemployment And Poverty Really Are Destroying Whatever Exactly Remains Of America

Senor Atrios was on the case today, with a double-barrel blast of all-American ugliness.  The longterm unemployed are fucked and represent a titanic national economic failure.  It's a big fucking deal, pretty much the biggest, but not the sort of political problem our glorious establishment political class cares about.  Guaranteed Basic Income is a simple idea, kinda like Single Payer Healthcare, that Americans are too stupid to have; it'll be everywhere else before it is ever here.
