Republicans will be quick to tell you that the national debt is a result of welfare mothers leeching off of the system. Unfortunately, the real problem is Corporate Welfare. The national debt is equivalent to the amount of money that we've spent on nuclear arms. How ironic.

Gentrification is the process of turning old, decaying neighborhoods (normally housing minorities) into new, exciting rich communities (and displacing the original residents as a result). This is done by installing a few key features like art galleries and expensive restaurants. Then the city increases property taxes slowly which in turn increases rent. In the end people eventually can't afford to live in their own homes. They move out (does this remind you of the gov't's policy for dealing with Native Americans in the 1800s?) and in move the rich, white people.
