Loans from the Social Security system are not one branch of government funding another branch of the government. The Social Security funds are payments from workers paychecks into what is supposed to be a trust fund. The "excess funds" have been borrowed since the Reagan administration and every administration since to make the annual budget deficit look smaller than it actually is. When current worker contributions are projected to not be sufficient to pay current claims, as is forecast in the next decade, the loans will have to be paid back if benefits are to remain at current levels. But...paying the system back would require either new taxes or more borrowing to pay back the money borrowed. This friends are why rich people like Mr. Gundlach who are not going to have to worry about living on Social Security call for "entitlement" reform.
@@xXJeReMiAhXx99 No Moron, it is not Gunlach's fault, what is his fault and all the others that call for "entitlement" reform is the continued narrative that the Social Security system is in crises because of underfunding and not because the Government has borrowed the reserves. And the incorrect statement that borrowing from Social Security is one branch of government borrowing from another and not a theft of the funds allegedly "held in a trust fund." By the way, it is not a scam you twit if the funds had not been taken to cover the deficit. But you go ahead and let the rich people tell you it's a scam so they can continue to take all the money.

Smart guy. So recession doesn't occur during half a year. Stock prices going up and down large amounts nervously has been usually a prelude to recession (1973, 2000, 2007). Usually the time period is one year. It is the case?
And just recently it has been pointed out that US growth is based upon massive wealth growth for the upper 10% and stagnation for the bottom 50%... That is not a strong economy. That is a temporary unsustainable situation.
That is the one thing no one seems to recognize. A stagnant economy with poor wage growth and a generation much smaller than the previous having to support the pension obligations of the boomers all retiring within a 10-15 year span. This is peaking in 2019/2020. The pension obligations are unable to be satisfied by existing workforce participants and the wages that they're being paid.
@@nickzivs that's when, in time. confiscation will begin...let's hope for solutions; but yes, the smaller work force will be problematic...fewer goods and service purchases, too - leading to falling Corporate profits and lower S&P, DOW and NDX.
They should simply change the tax code and require them to report buy-backs to stockholders as a taxable event the same as dividends. Now, buy-backs have a tax advantage. After the change, buy-backs would actually be discouraged because the stockholder would have to pay taxes on a gain they didn't get in cash. Kind of like a limited-liability stockholder or partner has to pay taxes on undistributed gain. This would end buy-backs real quick.
In Economics we always are dealing with supply and demand theory. When there is a stock panic, investors rush to Treasuries because they want safety. This should cause a big increase in demand for Treasuries, prices of Treasuries should rise and market interest rates should DROP. Because stocks love low market interest rates, the stock market should restart. We have a build in cruise control. But when Treasury Direct starts selling, an unlimited supply, of short term Treasuries at higher than market rates, they stop the dropping of rates that would restart the stock market. This is when the yield curve crosses over. Treasury Direct is turning off the cruise control. Forget about what they are saying.
How are they going to save ? The QE , globally 12 trillion into the system went into real estate stocks not wages Inflated property prices etc debt burden Most consumers simply surviving not thriving
@@cmhardin37 In a world of perfection, the communist dream perhaps where all are equal and not. The trend Gundlach was saying, was a tendency to greater inequality which would match an economy failing its people
Sick of hearing we are undertaxed. prior to ww2 there was no 2% medicare tax, fica tax rate was much lower, state tax rates were much lower, gas tax?, property tax?, sales tax?? the problem is that the federal tax is now a minority of the taxes most people pay! it is the total tax bill that matters, not just federal income tax!
QE is socialism for the rich. I recommend researching "money changers" "Balfour declaration" and "hidden secrets of money" best of luck on your journey into finance

@@wowfrosted13 yeah and he was also spot on in 2001 and 2008, and no you can't just make random predictions and "be right a couple times in 20 years", that took a lot of knowledge and understanding. unfortunately I see him making apparent mistakes such as thinking the rest of the world is less screwed up than america when in fact 90% is much worse, that for example is just one of the flaws that probably don't allow his weak dollar call to pan out.

how can the fed really start easing when they haven't even raised enough to prepare for the next recession? there's like no ammo unless they go to NIRP. they have been saying the economy is strong and it's all roses. yellen is like this economy can't sink.
Why don't these analysts ever go into how the unemployment numbers are determined. Someone working a part-time job 10 hr's a week should not be considered employed.
someone looking for a full time job stuck at a part time job is counted in some of the unemployment measurements, go read up on the standards of each one if you're worried about that.

With the national debt and the potential of the U.S. defaulting, is owning long-term treasury bonds risky? I know bonds are generally considered a safe bet, but can the national debt just keep rising forever?
@@xXJeReMiAhXx99 The United States has always been deeply in debt, except under Andrew Jackson; all the debt was paid off. And, the worst debt to GDP ratio was after WWII. However, I'm not sure what to expect over the next 30 years. I'm hesitant to own too many treasury bonds in case the U.S. eventually has to default. I don't think we can keep going like we are.
Jefferey Gundlach has pretty good insight on the state of the U.S. economy and and shares some thoughtful ideas about its future. However, just like many other selfish billionaires he doesn't support the idea of government providing help to the middle class just like it does for the corporations and financial institutions. There is no wonder that the wealth gap continues to grow especially if the middle class continue to believe and support this guy's idea that only the billionaires should get government "handouts" in the form of tax incentives but a living wage or health care for the middle class is not affordable. How can society continue to exist in such lopsided thinking?
"we can't have these taxes without a significant loss of our standard of living." Tell that to the homeless people who simply got evicted from high rent neighborhoods close to the jobs, and live in their old cars now, who haven't done any illegal drugs in their life. Tell that to the homeless veterans, tell that to the kids who didn't go to college, got apprenticeships or trade jobs and did the responsible thing to stay out of high debt on "useless degrees", but still can't afford a home, much less start a family. Who's standard of living are we talking about disappearing? I don't have a lot of sympathy for those boomers who bought 2-3 houses on debt while I can't even rent without saying goodbye to my savings. There's a lot of ultra responsible millennials who have less than great standards of living and we don't care about moneyed suburbia or the urban small millionaires in NYC, silicon valley, or Seattle having start budgeting a little. And everyone above that living standard.
I'd say you can no longer use unemployment as a recession indicator in the US due to shrinking worker demographics. Japan is a great example. When the population ages and retires, and a smaller generation is trying to fill those jobs, there will be plenty of jobs even during a recession. A recession or even depression can still happen with very low unemployment. The Japanese stock market is lower than during the 1990s and they still have extreme labor shortages.
I like how he mentions the problem of wealth inequality, but rotates right into basking Dem Socialism, igniting that pure capitalism is what have us this wealth imbalance.

All that has to be done is enforce the Sherman anti trust act that is already on the books by breaking up these companies. Also enact a new law forbidding companies from buy a PORTION of their rival company making the same products. This is how they are making cartels.
the next recession should be here by now if not soon, it's the longest bull market recorded. instead of small quakes, the central bank is artificially propping up a sick economy and creating a condition for a major quake in the market. the Fed's mandate to maximize employment is challenged by the AI and automation of industries and the fed will have to do a Super QE 4 to further pump up the economy, all it will do is launch hyperinflation in the coming years.
you can't have hyper inflation from normal monetary expansion, it requires a collapse of production, then the shortage of goods causes the prices to go through the roof.
I cannot accept the risk if he is right. I just re-allocated my portfolio to 10% stock and 90% short term treasury bonds. My returns will be lousy but I won't lose any money when the SHTF.
I found that odd as well. I been investing in his company and collecting dividends, but I would of also liked to hear what is overall plan is, but I own a shit load of gold and mining companies as well so whatever.
If the gov cuts defence spending by 200 or 300 billion dollars and funnels that towards health care and education... would we be able to afford it then? curious
Gundlach is not only super bright, he's the only person I've ever seen tell CNBC time was up for his interview and that he needed to go. It doesn't hurt to have a closed fund. "Sorry, we can't take your millions because we already have too many." Must be nice. I'll keep following from my van down by the river.
I'm in agreement. I hope I can afford a house if the price is right. I've been waiting for this day to come. I hope it's as horrific as they say it will be.
Tax revenues have been the largest in decades, but National Debt continue to grow. So what happens when recession hits and tax revenues decline. Right, even larger Debt .
If government deficits drive much of the economic growth, why would a government surplus be something to aim for? Decrying the national debt is silly if the aim is to achieve growth in the economy.
I still don't understand why any of these finance people didn't go to prison, after the 2008 financial terrorism they inflicted on the American workers.
What, precisely, did any of them do that was illegal? Was it, at any point, illegal to extend credit? Was it, at any point, illegal to generate exotic loan schemes, that, while inadvisable, were not outside the scope of finance law? Further, was it illegal to "discriminate" against someone who perhaps had either no credit history or a poor credit history? At best, you can claim that the financial credit ratings agencies had lost all sight of what they were rating. The fact is that the "American Workers" were equally or even more complicit in this entire scheme. They wanted the easy money. They wanted that house that they couldn't quite afford.
This isnt the rich or capitalism's fault. It's the fault of the privately controlled Central bank, the Federal Reserve, and our corrupt finance industry paid for politicians (both Democrats and Republicans).
The USA is like a person with a large (and increasing) amount of credit card debt relative to their income - the only difference is that the USA controls the interest rate on it’s debt via our central bank. If one keeps the interest rate low, inflation will increase, if interest rates are allowed to rise, the government has a funding crisis. If one looks at history, what usually happens is inflation is allowed to get out of control. That will produce an arbitrary redistribution of wealth that will cause even more unhappiness and even more unstable politics.
There was no middle class during WW2. There was barely a tax base from the people. That is why taxes were so high for business back then. The want to be middle class was off fighting your war. All of these so called economists acting like a $22 Trillion dollar debt is acceptable to even have in a monetary system is the most disturbing.
The anthem of democracy seems to be turning into a nightmarish scream..... So much for spreading democracy around the world. As you sow, so shall you reap.
The next banking crisis should cost the U.S. taxpayers trillions and get us over the $30 trillion debt mark. QE and printing money are the repetitive, go-to solutions to raise the asset prices for the rich and only create more disparity between the richest and the poorest...in order to repeatedly "save" the economy from collapse. A LOT of people will go homeless in the next recession because they can't afford the raising rent prices for the next wave of asset-price-raising in housing. We ultimately need a new FED that enriches the poor instead, in the next recession wave...but the poor do not run this country. The FED is setting us up for an extreme, economic revolution, because their solutions and tactics do not include the poor - the "bottom 90%" of this "Democracy". 40% of this country can't even raise $400 for an emergency...and we're supposedly in a "good economy" now. This country is in trouble NOW. I can already see the massive riots coming for the next recession - the anger at the government for its inability to feed and shelter people at realistic prices. There will be so many shanty towns filled with meth users that the government will finally start placing these addicts into drug prisons for decades. Some western big cities look third world now in many spots, because they have shanty towns filled with endless garbage piles and addicts. During the next recession, the unemployment rate should raise by over 2% (recession average) and most of these newly unemployed will become homeless and bolster the numbers at the current, meth, shanty towns.

I just hope the government doesn't bail anyone out again. No business is too big to fail.
Unfortunately the world governments have been hijacked by banksters.
Cough cough
That was a good explanation about 10 year.
My question is approximately when? I’ve been waiting for two years and i don’t believe them anymore
Are you in a rush for it to happen??
Nice guest, not bad YF
Smart guy. So recession doesn't occur during half a year. Stock prices going up and down large amounts nervously has been usually a prelude to recession (1973, 2000, 2007). Usually the time period is one year. It is the case?
And just recently it has been pointed out that US growth is based upon massive wealth growth for the upper 10% and stagnation for the bottom 50%...
That is not a strong economy. That is a temporary unsustainable situation.
Fantastic interview. I liked how they let him speak, unlike the CNBC dolts. This man knows his stuff.
Recession could be a mild word unless QE4 bigger than all QEs put together comes. Demographics is another big dampener.
That sort of QE would result in inflation. Not growth.
Growth then inflation.
That is the one thing no one seems to recognize. A stagnant economy with poor wage growth and a generation much smaller than the previous having to support the pension obligations of the boomers all retiring within a 10-15 year span. This is peaking in 2019/2020. The pension obligations are unable to be satisfied by existing workforce participants and the wages that they're being paid.
@@nickzivs that's when, in time. confiscation will begin...let's hope for solutions; but yes, the smaller work force will be problematic...fewer goods and service purchases, too - leading to falling Corporate profits and lower S&P, DOW and NDX.
Who else came here after TH-cam suggested this during the corona virus crash of 2020? 🤔
They should simply change the tax code and require them to report buy-backs to stockholders as a taxable event the same as dividends. Now, buy-backs have a tax advantage. After the change, buy-backs would actually be discouraged because the stockholder would have to pay taxes on a gain they didn't get in cash. Kind of like a limited-liability stockholder or partner has to pay taxes on undistributed gain. This would end buy-backs real quick.
In Economics we always are dealing with supply and demand theory. When there is a stock panic, investors rush to Treasuries because they want safety. This should cause a big increase in demand for Treasuries, prices of Treasuries should rise and market interest rates should DROP. Because stocks love low market interest rates, the stock market should restart. We have a build in cruise control.
But when Treasury Direct starts selling, an unlimited supply, of short term Treasuries at higher than market rates, they stop the dropping of rates that would restart the stock market. This is when the yield curve crosses over. Treasury Direct is turning off the cruise control. Forget about what they are saying.
Why can't this guy run for president instead of these clowns in Washington
very smart man giving the average joe honest info about the economy. People should save like crazy to get us through the next recession
How are they going to save ?
The QE , globally 12 trillion into the system went into real estate stocks not wages
Inflated property prices etc debt burden

"Socialism is not a good way of building wealth.". Why don't we ask millennials if capitalism is a good way of building wealth?

Wealth inequality is pretty bad - what an understatement!
In what world would wealth be distributed equally?
@@cmhardin37 In a world of perfection, the communist dream perhaps where all are equal and not. The trend Gundlach was saying, was a tendency to greater inequality which would match an economy failing its people
@@ricochetVendetta The standard of living is higher than it has ever been. The lower income bracket of today is the top bracket of decades ago.
Thank your government. Your government is the greatest cause of wealth inequality that has ever existed.
Most of the "poor" people I see are fat and have nice stuff. Hard for me to feel sorry for them.
I watched this for 2 minutes and subscribed! Excellent information
The presidents are already selected even FDR knew that.
Sick of hearing we are undertaxed. prior to ww2 there was no 2% medicare tax, fica tax rate was much lower, state tax rates were much lower, gas tax?, property tax?, sales tax?? the problem is that the federal tax is now a minority of the taxes most people pay! it is the total tax bill that matters, not just federal income tax!
What we can't afford is tax write offs for the wealthy and the Pentagon budget
wait, quantitative easing as a regular tool? I'm slowly learning about the financial sector, but is that a reasonable thing to do?
QE is socialism for the rich. I recommend researching "money changers" "Balfour declaration" and "hidden secrets of money" best of luck on your journey into finance
I’m not sure China matters anymore. At the end of the business cycle with as much corporate leverage and consumer debt.....things don’t look good.

Consumer debt load
Lowering rates etc wouldn't help

Gundlach is brilliant always listen to this guy
Gundlach is a smart investor but his heightened visceral reaction against healthcare for all vs. QE spending says much about elitists’ desired position. I don’t support free-for-all kind of social programs but healthcare has been broken for decades in the US and needs to be addressed somehow.

Peter Schiff has been saying there'll be a market crash every month for 20 years. He sells gold, so it's obvious why.
@@wowfrosted13 but the listener is supposed to be able to separate wheat from the chaff. I do agree his US market & gold call has not panned out the way it was supposed to but he is not a god, he is a mere mortal but his analysis is solid and rooted in reality. Markets can remain irrational longer than someone remains solvent. Anyway, I do think he PS should pick up a lesson in humility which would be beneficial to him in the end (same way ray dalio did in his early career). but in the end, I think his content is gold!
@@wowfrosted13 yeah and he was also spot on in 2001 and 2008, and no you can't just make random predictions and "be right a couple times in 20 years", that took a lot of knowledge and understanding.
unfortunately I see him making apparent mistakes such as thinking the rest of the world is less screwed up than america when in fact 90% is much worse, that for example is just one of the flaws that probably don't allow his weak dollar call to pan out.

There's going to be a lot of turmoil during the next recession. Isn't that like saying there's going to be a lot of water when it rains?

how can the fed really start easing when they haven't even raised enough to prepare for the next recession? there's like no ammo unless they go to NIRP. they have been saying the economy is strong and it's all roses. yellen is like this economy can't sink.
When was the last time everyone said we would have turmoil and it actually happened? Seems like a buying time
Absolutely. If I listened in 09 then I would have been screwed. Look now!! History documents that time is the friend of all markets.
going on 10 years of bull, the music of QE allowing company stock buy backs wont last forever
I don't think we came out of the last recession.
Why don't these analysts ever go into how the unemployment numbers are determined. Someone working a part-time job 10 hr's a week should not be considered employed.
someone looking for a full time job stuck at a part time job is counted in some of the unemployment measurements, go read up on the standards of each one if you're worried about that.
Ben Pon
It would make more sense if they measured employment in fortieths of a week.

That's the problem consumer debt load, the interest taking a bigger chunk off their income
With the national debt and the potential of the U.S. defaulting, is owning long-term treasury bonds risky? I know bonds are generally considered a safe bet, but can the national debt just keep rising forever?
yes the national debt can keep rising foreverish, it has for over 200 years.
Yes, it is risky. Inflation through money printing might return the amount of dollars but inflation will reduce its purchasing power.
Once reserve status is lost American standard of living will fall. See British Empire for an example.
@Sysiphus Syziggy Not just Bush and Obama. You can add Clinton and Trump to the list. Look at a chart of the debt to GDP ratio.
@@xXJeReMiAhXx99 The United States has always been deeply in debt, except under Andrew Jackson; all the debt was paid off. And, the worst debt to GDP ratio was after WWII. However, I'm not sure what to expect over the next 30 years. I'm hesitant to own too many treasury bonds in case the U.S. eventually has to default. I don't think we can keep going like we are.
Jefferey Gundlach has pretty good insight on the state of the U.S. economy and and shares some thoughtful ideas about its future.
However, just like many other selfish billionaires he doesn't support the idea of government providing help to the middle class just like it does for the corporations and financial institutions.
There is no wonder that the wealth gap continues to grow especially if the middle class continue to believe and support this guy's idea that only the billionaires should get government "handouts" in the form of tax incentives but a living wage or health care for the middle class is not affordable. How can society continue to exist in such lopsided thinking?
"we can't have these taxes without a significant loss of our standard of living." Tell that to the homeless people who simply got evicted from high rent neighborhoods close to the jobs, and live in their old cars now, who haven't done any illegal drugs in their life. Tell that to the homeless veterans, tell that to the kids who didn't go to college, got apprenticeships or trade jobs and did the responsible thing to stay out of high debt on "useless degrees", but still can't afford a home, much less start a family. Who's standard of living are we talking about disappearing? I don't have a lot of sympathy for those boomers who bought 2-3 houses on debt while I can't even rent without saying goodbye to my savings. There's a lot of ultra responsible millennials who have less than great standards of living and we don't care about moneyed suburbia or the urban small millionaires in NYC, silicon valley, or Seattle having start budgeting a little. And everyone above that living standard.
He knows more. He knows things are going to get ugly.
How come interest rates are so low if we have a debt problem?
Thank you for posting this article. Schiff and Gundlach make way too much sense for the mainstream media
I'd say you can no longer use unemployment as a recession indicator in the US due to shrinking worker demographics. Japan is a great example. When the population ages and retires, and a smaller generation is trying to fill those jobs, there will be plenty of jobs even during a recession. A recession or even depression can still happen with very low unemployment. The Japanese stock market is lower than during the 1990s and they still have extreme labor shortages.
GREAT VID. VERY INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU
I like how he mentions the problem of wealth inequality, but rotates right into basking Dem Socialism, igniting that pure capitalism is what have us this wealth imbalance.

Republicans are also socialists for the wealthy and well connected government contractors.
All that has to be done is enforce the Sherman anti trust act that is already on the books by breaking up these companies. Also enact a new law forbidding companies from buy a PORTION of their rival company making the same products. This is how they are making cartels.
Corporatism does not equal pure capitalism
This guy is AMAZING!!!!
I don't understand. What's wrong with corporate bonds?
the next recession should be here by now if not soon, it's the longest bull market recorded. instead of small quakes, the central bank is artificially propping up a sick economy and creating a condition for a major quake in the market. the Fed's mandate to maximize employment is challenged by the AI and automation of industries and the fed will have to do a Super QE 4 to further pump up the economy, all it will do is launch hyperinflation in the coming years.
you can't have hyper inflation from normal monetary expansion, it requires a collapse of production, then the shortage of goods causes the prices to go through the roof.
I cannot accept the risk if he is right. I just re-allocated my portfolio to 10% stock and 90% short term treasury bonds. My returns will be lousy but I won't lose any money when the SHTF.
Nobody is asking Gundlach what he is doing with his investment strategy for his clients and where he sees invest-able areas in the next 5-10 years.
I found that odd as well. I been investing in his company and collecting dividends, but I would of also liked to hear what is overall plan is, but I own a shit load of gold and mining companies as well so whatever.
If the gov cuts defence spending by 200 or 300 billion dollars and funnels that towards health care and education... would we be able to afford it then? curious
He sounds a little nervous. :-/
Gundlach is not only super bright, he's the only person I've ever seen tell CNBC time was up for his interview and that he needed to go. It doesn't hurt to have a closed fund. "Sorry, we can't take your millions because we already have too many." Must be nice. I'll keep following from my van down by the river.

Consumer debt will bring down the economy that is the elephant in the room
Tax revenues have been the largest in decades, but National Debt continue to grow. So what happens when recession hits and tax revenues decline. Right, even larger Debt .
If government deficits drive much of the economic growth, why would a government surplus be something to aim for? Decrying the national debt is silly if the aim is to achieve growth in the economy.
I still don't understand why any of these finance people didn't go to prison, after the 2008 financial terrorism they inflicted on the American workers.
What, precisely, did any of them do that was illegal? Was it, at any point, illegal to extend credit? Was it, at any point, illegal to generate exotic loan schemes, that, while inadvisable, were not outside the scope of finance law? Further, was it illegal to "discriminate" against someone who perhaps had either no credit history or a poor credit history? At best, you can claim that the financial credit ratings agencies had lost all sight of what they were rating. The fact is that the "American Workers" were equally or even more complicit in this entire scheme. They wanted the easy money. They wanted that house that they couldn't quite afford.

No issues back then.
This isnt the rich or capitalism's fault. It's the fault of the privately controlled Central bank, the Federal Reserve, and our corrupt finance industry paid for politicians (both Democrats and Republicans).
Smart and knowledgeable man.
The USA is like a person with a large (and increasing) amount of credit card debt relative to their income - the only difference is that the USA controls the interest rate on it’s debt via our central bank. If one keeps the interest rate low, inflation will increase, if interest rates are allowed to rise, the government has a funding crisis. If one looks at history, what usually happens is inflation is allowed to get out of control. That will produce an arbitrary redistribution of wealth that will cause even more unhappiness and even more unstable politics.
Interesting he quotes Greenspan. He's the brilliant dude who put us where where we were in 08. Haha!
There was no middle class during WW2. There was barely a tax base from the people. That is why taxes were so high for business back then. The want to be middle class was off fighting your war. All of these so called economists acting like a $22 Trillion dollar debt is acceptable to even have in a monetary system is the most disturbing.
Superb man, very knowledgeable. It'd be nice if he ran for president one day.
The anthem of democracy seems to be turning into a nightmarish scream..... So much for spreading democracy around the world. As you sow, so shall you reap.
I am in Africa here connected to the Internet . I am reading comments here and I have no clue why people are expecting something very bad.
I cant agree that rates are going to go up. The rest of the world is at 0% and we are over 2. I'm cautiously buying medium duration bonds.
The next banking crisis should cost the U.S. taxpayers trillions and get us over the $30 trillion debt mark. QE and printing money are the repetitive, go-to solutions to raise the asset prices for the rich and only create more disparity between the richest and the poorest...in order to repeatedly "save" the economy from collapse. A LOT of people will go homeless in the next recession because they can't afford the raising rent prices for the next wave of asset-price-raising in housing. We ultimately need a new FED that enriches the poor instead, in the next recession wave...but the poor do not run this country. The FED is setting us up for an extreme, economic revolution, because their solutions and tactics do not include the poor - the "bottom 90%" of this "Democracy". 40% of this country can't even raise $400 for an emergency...and we're supposedly in a "good economy" now. This country is in trouble NOW. I can already see the massive riots coming for the next recession - the anger at the government for its inability to feed and shelter people at realistic prices. There will be so many shanty towns filled with meth users that the government will finally start placing these addicts into drug prisons for decades. Some western big cities look third world now in many spots, because they have shanty towns filled with endless garbage piles and addicts. During the next recession, the unemployment rate should raise by over 2% (recession average) and most of these newly unemployed will become homeless and bolster the numbers at the current, meth, shanty towns.
