Dean; Since when does what the public want make any difference to the deficit hawks? The politicians will take care of what they perceive "the markets" want first and deal with the fallout from the rest of us after the damage is done. Congress won't even pass a financial reform package with teeth, which every person on Main Street wants them to do. - Queen of Sheba Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:47:21 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/the-post-tells-readers-that-the-public-is-more-concerned-about-deficits-than-jobs/#comment-1062 As a construction union member in NYC, I speak to other members from all the trades on a daily basis on a variety of topics, and even though unemployment has devastated many members and scared to death the rest, , many members seem to be preoccupied in daily conversation with "illegal" immigration. You can easily imagine where these guys get their news from. And even though this isn't very scientific, it tells me how dangerous and effective the Propaganda State is. All this says to me is how dangerous the Propaganda State - Union Member Sun, 20 Jun 2010 14:56:50 +0100
