I was going to post a blog this weekend which stepped through of the economic/political evidence showing why I believe the "cake eaters" might start to get testy soon (i.e. civil unrest may foment). As I'm sure everyone is well aware, the State budget cuts in education in California prompted some protesting in Berkely which required riot police, from Clusterstock.com: Let Them Eat Cake!
Here is why I believe the momentum has started to unfold in the direction of these public unrestful protests spreading nationwide: There is now an organization that has established a nationwide call to protest the deep cuts in public education in every State: No, We Won't Eat Cake
I'm sure almost no one reading this was aware, given the sorry state of U.S. mass media, that the Chicago Public School System is facing a $1 billion defiicit and there will be deep cuts in education: Chicago Tribune.
I would like to add that, for those old enough to remember the MLK assassination/Viet Nam protests in Chicago in 1968 which ultimately helped undermine Humphrey's Presidential campaign against Nixon, recall that student civil unrest started in Berkely and then spread to Chicago.
Something to ponder as Obama/Pelosi/Reid try to jam a healthcare bill up our ass that more than 60% of the country opposes...
