Economists claim the US is out of the recession, but for working-class
Americans there are no signs yet of Obama's promised boost. Out in the
desert, the bright lights of Las Vegas are growing dim.
At a run down apartment complex in Las Vegas Sargeant Geary thumps on a door
. The woman inside pleads with him for more time as a baby cries in the
background. As the locksmith works on the door she hurriedly gathers all she
can carry. "We get people that are desperate", says Sargeant Geary. But for
him this has been just another day at the office, evictions is nearly all
he does now. "Of the evictions I am doing 40 to 50% have to do with someone
who lost his job". It's a terrible indictment of the US economy that,
despite bailouts, stimulus packages and talks of recovery, many hardworking
Americans have only seen matters get worse and worse over the past two years
. Where once in Las Vegas the casinos and hotels provided more jobs than
could be filled now the only industry making money is the one feeding of the
economic collapse. "I make my fortune on somebody else's misfortune" says
one man at this auction, who hopes to make a few bucks off the possessions
of some poor evictee. Las Vegas, it seems, remains a far cry from the
economic recovery the Wall Street Journal is telling us about. | u****n
