All the trouble in the world: Midwest Edition

Wisconsin State Troopers withdraw their support for Governor Walker That is pretty big news..

Are we witnessing the beginning of a new American civil war?

I have been watching some accounts of Wisconsin’s news events (events that are sure to play out throughout the nation in the upcoming weeks and months).. Families are becoming divided. Wife vs husband. Mother vs daughter.. And even more, with national debt on the federal level, further cuts are going to position the United States in seemingly the same place we saw Greece, Ireland, Spain, and other countries that recently began to impose austerity.

This, coupled with rising gas prices, rising food prices, rising clothing prices, and few jobs being created despite politicians and pundits telling us we are in a recovery, seems to be pushing people to new places not seen in generations.

What is clear: Government on both state and national level is out of money. What is also clear: Lots of people hate government workers. What is even more clear: The budget issues appear to be getting less and less chance for common ground to end the problems and balance budgets.

We are witnessing an amazing event. It’s just a shame no one took to the streets of the United States and state capitols in 2008 when the government happily handed over billion in money to banksters who gave themselves bonuses with us only a few months later.

Instead of dividing the nation, perhaps we should begin to look at true culprits.

Politicians are interesting. Instead of making people want pensions, they make those who have them the enemy. All the while banksters make off with the loot in the light of the sun.

50 upcoming budget crises

The ‘day of rage’ in Wisconsin and why it matters to the United States.. will it be Egypt in America?

It would appear the crises over state budgets within the next several weeks and months will only intensify.. Most states within the seemingly fragile union are billions in the red.. The federal government also runs out of spending cash in March and unless a miracle occurs and Congress is able to pass a continuing resolution, there may very well be a federal shutdown of government within the United States—this at the same time states crumble under the weight of oppressive debt..

The fight attracts thousands of protesters..

PROTESTERS TAKE ON THE GOVERNMENT: BAHRAIN

PROTESTERS TAKE ON THE GOVERNMENT: YEMEN

PROTESTERS TAKE ON THE GOVERNMENT: MIDWEST UNITED STATES

Egypt.. Iran.. Greece.. Spain. Bahrain.

And Wisconsin Ohio and most likely lots of other states from now until the heat of summer begins.,
