National Debt Graph by President

National Debt Graph by President
The best odds on the presidential election come from the betting markets and can be found here. In 1981, the supply-siders commandeered the Reagan Presidency and employed their Voodoo economics, as Bush senior had called it in 1980. He was saying that tax cuts would not increase government revenues. As you can see on the graph above (get it on your smartphone app info), the Voodoo failed just as Bush predicted, and the supply-siders turned a 32-year winning streak into a debt disaster that continues to this day. What's causing today's huge deficits? Bush senior fought against supply-side debt, so the Republicans didn't support him and he lost to Clinton, who put an end to supply-side economics. What about Obama? Recessions cut tax revenues—in this case, dramatically. The green line shows what would have happened to the national debt if Reagan and the Bushes had balanced their budgets as Reagan claimed he would. The Election. Thanks for all the "Likes" and "Shares" — a real help.

No World Bank Occupier News The Richest 0.1% Have Launched A War On Us – It’s Time To Fight Back And Hold These 400 Billionaires Personally Responsible For Our Economic Crisis Editor’s Note: The following post includes adapted excerpts from David DeGraw’s book, “The Road Through 2012: Revolution or World War III.” Release Date: 9.28.11 We have endured financial oppression for long enough. In a time of national crisis and shared sacrifice, the richest one-tenth of one percent of the population cannot continue on their merry way, living in obscene wealth and detached from reality, while the majority of the population desperately struggles to make ends meet. We are under attack, and it’s time to fight back. I work over 60 hours a week and still barely make ends meet. In fact, as long as I can keep up this intensive work schedule at my current income level, I’m actually better off than many Americans. Meanwhile, in this time of national crisis, as we keep hearing calls for “shared sacrifice,” tens of trillions of dollars are consolidated within the hands of the economic top one-tenth of one percent of the population. “What a year.

‘The Bank Is Messing With Us’: The Enduring Legacy of Occupy Homes I was having dinner over the weekend with a relative, who innocently asked, "Is Occupy around anymore?" Now that the big camps are gone –Occupy DC, one of the last major camps was raided over the weekend– some individuals erroneously assume the group has disbanded. The truth is that in addition to planning a spring resurgence, many Occupiers are now involved in smaller cells that branched off from the mother movement. In New York City, Occupy assemblies still meet on the regular outside of the space at Zuccotti Park. These aggregations gather in Sunset Park, Staten Island, East New York, Queens, Harlem, Washington Heights, among other places. Sunset Park recently posted a "Spring Is Coming" flyer announcing its own plans for Occupy's widely publicized May Day actions. Put simply: the actions never stopped. On Thursday, students, teachers, and their supporters will gather at Brooklyn Technical High School for an action opposing school closures and the privatization of public education.

Woodlawn Mental Health Clinic Occupation / Save Our Clinics CHICAGO, IL – As the Chicago Police Department closed in on those who had barricaded themselves inside Woodlawn Mental Health Clinic last Thursday, I realized this was a terrible time for me to be going away from Internet access for the next 48 hours. If you aren’t up to speed, here’s the situation. Under Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s budget, 6 of the 12 public mental health clinics in Chicago are scheduled to be shut down. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the clinics slated for closure are uniformly located within the poorest, hardest-hit neighborhoods of the city. In other words, those who need it most will no longer have access to mental health services. The Mental Health Movement associated with STOP Chicago has been working for the past 4 years to protect mental health clinics from closures and privatization.

With the 99% Spring up and rolling and set to bring 100,000 new activists to the party this weekend, there's some increased friction between various progressive groups who are working to expand the movement this year. It's a good time to remember that mass movements are — by design and necessity — big and diverse, encompassing lots of different kinds of people who bring all kinds of skills, resources, interests and priorities to the table. There's not enough that can be said about the genius of Occupy at raising America's awareness of the corporatization of our culture, and defining and framing the predations of the 1 percent against the 99 percent as the defining conflict of our age. For the revolution to spread, the Occupy protestors need to be joined by other people — very specific kinds of other people, in fact. Activists Intellectuals
