This is the point I make about Obama being a corporate lackey. Here let me export more of the economy and give you food stamps. Stop exporting the economy and let people work.Originally Posted by soot

People were pissed about the jobs bill and rightfully so. When the Senate leader said we need to focus on China's currency manipulation he was right. Eliminating the currency manipulation will create more jobs then any of Obama's stupid ass job bills.

No, as i mentioned already, i suspect it will be about corruption, pollution, tar sands, etc... The will not be protesting a lack of jobs. From what i can gather, this fledgling movement is about way more than just jobs.

Unemployment drives wages down. Less competition for their services. On top of it education can fill voids in shorted fields ... as those with degrees do not have to add a lot of courses to fulfill demand when they already have a degree.Yeah, well the market realities are asserting themselves once again. When supply exceeds demand, then the price goes down. How nice for all the people who have invested so heavily in education.
That being said, there appears to be an entire generation of skilled trades demand that is being left unmet.

The thought crossed my mind when I saw the TV coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, that here in the US we also have protesting Greeks.
I still cannot see the need to become an uneducated country because of globalism. I still support the education of Americans. They will need to be more selective of fields, however how will they anticipate what fields will be exported or H1b'ed? At any rate education is still a positive.

How do yuo know they are or aren't communists? Last I looked we were on the same side as the commies in WW2.
President
lol, they are clearly protesting the corruption of wall street, they are protesting for justice. Do you really beleive that anybody who questions the behavior of wall street is a defacto communist?

Why ask me, I don't imagine I made that claim? I certainly didn't when I pointed out your posting of an image of "not-commies" had nothing in the image that promotes or denies their status as communists.
President
OK. I was just pointing out that they are clearly not protesting "for communism".

I guess all the tea partiers are communists to for protesting TARP. God this country is full of commies. There are so many ... I use the word commie in almost every sentence I speak.

The real question here is will Occupy Wall Street (OWS) become a real movement or will it fade as the weather gets cooler. As with any breaking story the information is coming out fast and confused.
Organized labor has joined the OWS. Still no leadership has developed much like the Teabaggers. Plans are in the works to extend OWS activities through November 17, which include a major internet effort by individuals on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Here is last nights CBS news story. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...ag=pop;stories
"NEW YORK - Shortly before the massive "Occupy Wall Street" protest kicked off in lower Manhattan Wednesday afternoon, CBS News caught up with Transport Workers Union President John Samuelsen, whose union was among those that had decided to join the cause. Samuelsen, who can be seen in the video at left, was adamant that there wasn't a culture clash between union members and the mostly younger, more culturally liberal demonstrators who initiated the protests."

Where is the money coming from? this a long time for this to be spontaneous.....
Moderates are not republicans
Everything I have read or seen indicates that a small group of individuals - young, educated, in debt from college, and unable to find work got together. The internet has been a factor, (Twitter, Facebook etc.) Last night on CBS news I saw demonstrators using lap tops from the actual OWS park on Wall Street. Now with big labor chiming in, money should be available. I sent a small check myself to James Hoffa at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. This life time liberal Dem is not real happy with Barry Obama. His face is on the screen every night with talk, talk, talk, talk. He needs to get his ass down on Wall Street and support these people as a citizen, not a president. Frankly, these days I am more interested in what James Hoffa and Ed Schultz have to say than Barry Obama.
The amazing thing to me is the action and inaction of Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD. In the end these police officers are in the 99% like the rest of us. I would hope that might cut some people some breaks. As an aside, TV news said the America's original Bill of Rights (the first ten Amendments to the U. S. Constitution) was written two blocks from where the demonstrators are................. What a pleasant coincidence.
