Born in the USA - Zombie Apocalypse
How poor people survive in the USA | DW Documentary | Living in a Car | You Are Evicted!
Homelessness, hungry and shamed into poverty, is rampant in the richest country in the world. Over 40 million people
in the United States live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years ago. It can happen very quickly.
Many people in the United States fall through the social safety net. In the structurally weak mining region of the Appalachians, it has become almost normal for people to go shopping with food stamps. And those who lose their home often have no choice but to live in a car. There are so many homeless people in Los Angeles that relief organizations have started to build small wooden huts to provide them with a roof over their heads. The number of homeless children has also risen dramatically, reaching 1.5 million, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. A documentary about the fate of the poor in the United States today.
In the modern version being played out today on the streets of Los Angeles and almost every other major city in the state, tens of thousands of the homeless are desperate for shelter, services and of course, drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. Eric Johnson reports on Paradise Lost: Homeless in Los Angeles.

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A.
As you mature in life, you realize that this is a sad, depressing tale of a young man "Born in the USA" with few choices
in life. Sent away to fight somewhat unwillingly to a terrible war- to return home to have a hard time even finding a
factory job. Being abandoned by the staff at VA hospital, A dead brother, an undefeated Viet-Cong, a lost war, old photos
and sad images/descriptions of his home/living situation, aging, limited options in life... "Born in the USA for sure.
"There's a lot of butt-covering going on..."
