Why is the demand for “deficit reduction” now being voiced so unanimously in every quarter of official American politics? What are the fundamental class issues that underlie this campaign?
The American ruling elite is engaged in the greatest robbery of working people in US history. In the bank bailout of 2008-2009, the financial aristocracy effectively transferred to the federal government its bad debts and losses from a decade of reckless speculation. Now the working class is being compelled to pay the price for Wall Street’s looting of the Treasury through the destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs in education, the environment, transportation and housing.
Those responsible for the economic mess should be in jail, not being given handouts on the backs of everybody else.

Elizabeth Warren ought to consider running for president herself. She would do better than the shitbag who is in the White House now.

The Rupert Murdoch hearings can be viewed here, if one is interested.
Apparently he was the recipient of a shaving cream or cream pie earlier. I missed it.
Edit: It was a plate of foam. The video doesn't actually capture the attack, but it is evident Murdoch was hit with something, as foam can be seen on his clothes viewing from the back.
