    More thug news

    What do the Budget Thugs Trying to Gut the Safety Net Really Know About the Economy?

    The Fix the Debt strategy was explicitly to wait until after the election. They would then go into high gear pushing their agenda of cutting Social Security and Medicare regardless of who won the elections. Remember, we need these cuts because they say so.

    It is worth repeating the "they say so" part, because this is the only way we could know that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are necessary. It is possible to tell stories about countries where a meltdown in financial markets forced sharp budget cuts, but there is zero evidence of that for the United States. Investors are willing to lend the U.S. government vast amounts of money at extremely low interest rates. The only reason that we have for believing that financial markets will panic if we don't make the Social Security and Medicare cuts that the Debt Fixers want to make is because they say so.

    For this reason, it is worth considering what the Debt Fixers know or don't know about the economy. This means bringing up a still fresh wound: why did none of these people see the housing bubble whose collapse wrecked the economy?

    I watched the "unedited" version, and it doesn't change my mind.

    From that same "electablog"


    lol


    The destruction of the two Americans for Prosperity tents on the grounds of the Michigan State Capitol building during Tuesday’s anti-Right to Work for Less rally has stirred interest nationally.

    Those on the right portray it as a violent upheaval of “union thugs” and “union goons” who acted as predicted: with violence and mayhem and racism and vandalism.

    Those on the left have framed it as anti-union conservative groups getting their just desserts for their harmful attacks on working men and women.

    The truth, I believe, is that union members at the rally were stoked to a fever pitch by Americans for Prosperity’s huge footprint in the middle of their rally and by intentionally antagonistic Fox News and Breitbart.com operatives who were there to incite reaction and film it. Why? To help further their narrative that we shouldn’t care about the attacks on the rights of union members because VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE! VIOLENCE!!!

    I believe that a handful of union members among a crowd of upwards of 18,000, responded to that antagonish and acted shamefully and did, in fact, behave like thugs. They were helped along very intentionally by AFP staff and Fox News contributor (and comedian) Steven Crowder to maximize the negative perception of ALL union members and to make themselves look like victims.

    Weak sauce. There may have been some creative editing, but this doesn't prove it.
