Why can't the Democrats and Republicans agree on any spending cuts?

American like the other Neo-liberal nations could careless about its working class, gone are the days of job security, pensions, and early retirement. Neo-liberalism is a set of economic policies that have become widespread during the last 25 years or so. Although the word is rarely heard in the United States, you can clearly see the effects of neo-liberalism here as the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer....Around the world, neo-liberalism has been imposed by powerful financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank....the capitalist crisis over the last 25 years, with its shrinking profit rates, inspired the corporate elite to revive economic liberalism.

That's what makes it 'neo' or new. As the term, neo-liberalism, inevitably becomes more prevalent in the United States, why not disparage it before the public catches on to its real meaning? US ignorance of global terminology commonly in use worldwide is hardly new nor unexpected.

What is new is the openness of the manipulation of key phrases and phraseology within the media that orchestrate the public toward a predetermined acceptable internalization of the term's definition. We are barraged by newspeak and doublespeak telling us what is happening in the world and what to think about it. We are even told what words mean.

We, consumers of corporate media news, willingly self-incarcerate ourselves within the virtual corporate re-education camp called television. The main points of neo-liberalism as being the rule of the market which espouses: Cutting public expenditure for social services. Deregulation.

Privatization. Eliminating the concept of "the public good" or "community" and replacing it with "individual responsibility." Is it any wonder that one of the un-elected chief architects of Washington's K Street Project, the very powerful, Grover Norquist, said, "Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub."

Shrinking government to the K Street crowd means shrinking it for the working people while taking all the power and wealth for themselves. Hurricane Katrina showed the world just who drowns as a result of neo-liberal policies and shrinking government. When the times get tough for the rich, the rich get tough.

The working class, however, gets abandoned.

I wouldn't count much on that rescue next week. Obama isn't about to drop the health care law, and so long as it exists on the books, jobs will be few, and far between. People who would be job creators are not going to invest, when the President continually tells them he is going to raise their taxes, and they're already facing the expense of Obamacare.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
