Only a matter of time now.
Of course not, if they were that thoughtful they would be occupying the white house, not wall street
1) Congress writes the Budget, not the White House.
2) There's already an occupy DC branch.
Damn. What hypocrites they are.
Most people owe more on their homes then they make in a year.
Math is hard.
Probably.
To quote one of our chants: "How do you cut the deficit? End the war, tax the rich!"
Seems simple enough. Do the math on that one.
Guess who's manipulating Congress to spend all that money?
Hint: It's not the 99%.
1) oh, yeah, BO didn't push $800 billion stimulus through house and senate when dems controlled both houses...guess who's manipulating the forum? Hint: its not the 1% 2) then why isn't OWS camped at the white house? Oh sorry, yeah they are at the white house, they're inside partying on the "stimulus" dollars with BO.
1) The debt problems started decades ago, it's not a new phenomenon and has more to do with military spending, including our military adventures over the last 30 years, than anything else.
2) Democrats are beholden to corporate dollars for reelection just like the Republicans are. You seem confused, you seem to believe this is a partisan argument, it isn't. This is much bigger than red state/blue state sillyness, our Government is being turned into a Plutocracy.
Arguing about partisan politics at this point is like fighting over an electric bill when the roof is on fire.
1) OWS was hijacked by the left weeks ago and is now at least as corrupt in their "non-paritsan" funding sources as the corporations they complain about. It is partisan now because OWS is run by the leftist mob. You are thoughtful, please wake up while there is time. 2) Plutocracy - did Paul Krugman give you your talking points? Not partisan? 3) The roof is not on fire, it's the foundation of our republic that has crumbled - right, a republic, not a democracy. Our republic may not survive this newest Reign of Terror.
