Unemployment is that high in the USA but the government won't admit it.
People here are too sheep-like to riot anyway; the harder the government and
big business fuck them, the more they beg for it. Some parts of the country
are worse than others. Here in Indiana a couple of our cities, like Elkhart,
have unemployment rates that the government admits are at the 30% level,
which means its really a lot worse, and yet the fools in this state still
keep electing ultra-rightwing politicians who openly admit that they believe
the poor and unemployed are scum who do not deserve help.
You're right about Spanish people helping family members, I saw it in New
Mexico (a place whose people are largely Spanish by ancestry and culture)
when I lived there. In Indiana, families are a lot less sympathetic to those
of their relatives who struggle.
