Out of The Closet

As we know, the past 30 years have seen an orgy of job destruction, income reduction, and oligarchical domination in the private sector that has, in the past few years, fallen on the essential public workers, teachers, firemen, police, and etc. We all also know that there is some committee or another meeting to come up with cuts and tax increases to balance the budget.

What to expect? More of the same:

Both Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA), who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), who heads the Senate counterpart, sent letters to the super committee Friday urging, if not downright begging, the 12 deficit deciders not to touch the Pentagon's discretionary budget, although Levin suggested the panel propose a commission to look into finding savings in the military retirement and health care systems.

That's right, cut people not things. After all what did people ever do for you?
