    Remember when Bush was talking to a divorced mother of three, including a ‘mentally challenged’ son, working three jobs just to make ends meet and he said:

    You work three jobs? Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that.

    Yeah, shit’s been broke for so long now .

    Australia has roughly the same land mass as the US and less than 10% of the population. So housing here outside of the state capitals is still somewhat affordable, but the situation is getting rapidly worse.
