Something Wrong

Sometimes I hate this country. Compare and contrast these Times headlines:

• Wall Street Pursues Profit in Bundles of Life Insurance. This is about a plan to buy life insurance policies from the old and sick, then securitize them. Gosh, this worked out so well with mortgages!
• Surge in Homeless Children Strains School Districts. Homeless children. Nobody should be homeless in this country. And school districts should be getting all the money they need to educate our young, pay teachers decent salaries, and have physically safe, functional, and beautiful schools.
