What happens when the real cuts and layoffs begin, when Social Security and Medicare get slashed? What happens when salaries of government workers are cut across the board? Look to Greece. These college campuses are just a taste of what is coming our way.
"UC Berkeley—where the idea of the March 4 Day of Action incubated last October—erupted into a riot of noise and colors Thursday afternoon, when more than 1,000 people marched from Sproul Plaza to Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland.
Students, faculty, staff and workers protested the budget cuts, fee hikes and furloughs in public education, chanting slogans, waving signs and playing loud music as they walked down Telegraph Avenue.
Interstate-880 in downtown Oakland was temporarily shut down when a small group broke off from the marchers and a little after 5 p.m. walked into the highway where they were chased away by police in riot gear. The California Highway Patrol said lanes was reopened around 5:30 p.m., but the incident backed up traffic in all directions.
In Berkeley, rally organizers estimated the crowd to be around 2,500, although the Berkeley Police Department said it was closer to 1,000."

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI think this is just the begining of the end. Govt can't afford Medicare, Medicade, SSN and all the rest. When those programs dry up, then people dependent on them will die for lack of drugs, medical treatment, food, shelter, etc. This is what happens when a society destroys families and relies on Caligula Caesar to take care of them. We have sown the whirlwind. God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap.
In the meantime, the USCCB will be in the forefront urging the preservation of govt spending on social domestic programs regardless that such a policy bodes ill for society and is inherently un-Biblical.
