Obama-nomics: People Can’t Afford To Bury Loved Ones

Yeah, I guess this is turning into a pick on Barry day, but, the stories I found prior to heading to work all point to DOOM. Such as

The economic downturn has left many families across the nation unable to afford burials.

As funeral costs rise and the economy continues to founder, many communities are seeing a rise in unclaimed bodies and funerals for indigent people.

The trend has been seen “everywhere,” says Jacqueline Byers, director of research and outreach for the National Association of Counties.

“The reality is, it’s gotten worse,” she says.

Great. We’re leaving bodies hanging around unburied, which means they’ll easily be able to escape and spread the zombie virus, which is usually contained within the caskets. Of course, it makes it easier for them to show up to vote Democrat.

Yeah, been hearing about this for last few years now. Stories mostly come out of blue of blue states.

I’m waiting for the burial stimulus.

but then, why is this a big deal? Didn’t we have pauper graves in the past as well?

To be serious… if my parents passed, I couldn’t afford to bury them either. IT is hugely expensive even without this economic depression we are in.

My wife told me that she participated in a collection here is Shreveport that was only to bury a kid. I think things are going to get alot worse.
