A Negative Meme Lacking a Conservative Official is A Meme Not Yet Mature...

America's tent cities, BBC...

One of the largest tented camps is in Florida and is now home to around 300 people. Others have sprung up in New Jersey and Portland.

...

These tent cities - and this level of poverty - are images that many Americans associate with the Great Depression.

Unemployment in America today has not reached the astronomical levels of the 1930s, but barring a short spike in 1982, it has not been this high since the Depression era.

There are now 13 million unemployed Americans, which is three million more than when President Barack Obama was first elected.

The stark reality is that many of them are people who very recently lived comfortable middle-class lives.

These will never be called ObamaVilles, ObamaBoroughs, or ObamaBurghs.  They will be  called  SantorumShanties, RomneyVillas, or GingrichVilles.

A meme requires seasoning.
