Unemployed Middle Class America Dumpster diving at Trader Joe's

Today in Brooklyn NY just outside the posh 3 million dollar
brownstones in Brooklyn Heights I saw a gathering of white
unemployed middle class waiting patiently for 11 PM.
This is when Trader Joe's pushes their Dumpsters to the curb
for garbage pick up.
These unemployed orderly pulled out the bags and began
sorting the food waste into piles to be placed in car trunks
and back packs.
If the GOP needs to see the results of not passing the
unemployment extensions, all they need to see is their constituents
searching for food through dumpsters in their Dockers and golf
shirts in an upscale neighborhood.
These people will not soon forget the how's and why's they were
forced to feed themselves. The GOP may think this is
proving they are fiscally conservative, but middle America see's
it as being detached from reality and uncaring.
