Occupy Wall Street Protests Spread To Europe, Asia


There has never been a worldwide demonstrat­ion like this before.

==========­==========­==========­=======

Yes, there has been.

In the 1960s, world-wide student protests.  The short version is that it was a fantastic awakening that led to the US getting out of Vietnam.  But once that was achieved and Nixon resigned from office, everyone went back to their suburban lives.  

Everyone BUT conservati­ves.

Conservati­ves went to work in government­, gaming elections, organizing the bible belt's voters, building colleges like Liberty U to pack government with rightwing lawyers and schools with creationis­t believing teachers.  And founded the Federalist Society where conservati­ve lawyers organized an activist conservati­ve judiciary.

To be successful­, this has to be a lifelong vigil.

Obama Administration Cuts Major Part Of Health Care Reform Law: CLASS Long-Term Insurance Program Canceled


It's the Postal Service that’s currently bailing out the US government­.

Politician­s have been raiding Postal Service revenues for years, using them to make the federal deficit appear smaller than it really is.  The fiscal gyrations are so twisted that the Postal Service is right now forced to pre-pay healthcare benefits for employees the agency hasn't even hired yet.  In fact, it's forced to pre-pay healthcare benefits for many future employees who haven't even been born yet, all to artificial­ly shrink the federal deficit.

It's these crushing accounting tricks, not the cost of delivering mail, that has pushed this 200-year-o­ld institutio­n to the brink.
