Dont forget about wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. They are ridiculously expensive to fund. I hope govt will not fund next new war. idgaff who started the war and it's not Africa thing.

I am not too sure about OWS stance and I am weebit confused. Hell, what do you expect from govt's response to the protest? Spanking their hands and scolding them for punishing citizens and for their abysmal avarice? I cannot envision this. Granted, some politicians are in corporates' pockets and Banks took the bailout money and paid back some. I can understand the childish ploy, but damn OWS thats theatrical. The whole America heard OWS for a while and it's not that effective. In middle east, protests are damn violent unlike here. What's wrong with this picture? On other hand, raising taxes on rich people will not make any difference. Some jobs always will be outsourced. Americans are too expensive to hire, unless they are willing to accept lower wages. Or new generation entrepreneurs are willing to pay their shares for taxes and hire Americans out of patriotism or investment, so big corps can dwindle.

I so hope this wont lead to London Riot. This whole situation is so confusing to me and it inspired me to learn about economics and politics!
