It is hard to disagree with the thesis of the writer at this article who says there will be a continuing protest movement replenished and strengthened by new college graduates each spring. These graduates will be unemployed and burdened by debt. A certain percentage will become protestors each year.
This makes perfect sense. The economic malaise of now is no more necessary than was the malaise of the Great Depression. When money was put into meaningful programs during Roosevelt's 100 Days, people's lives were changed. When union rights were strengthened, more people entered what had been a small middle class.
What worked then can work now. We need a new Glass-Steagall at the very minimum. Then we need a new stimulus package. These are the minimum actions. Others should quickly follow. Where is the program in Washington?
