Death by a Thousand(Budget) Cuts.
I found this article that really sums up just how bad things could get here with these budget cuts. Enjoy and comment. http://www.marxist.com/usa-death-by-a-thousand-cuts.htm

2. I intend to.
I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more responses. If nothing else I expected some people anti-communists posts.

3. I'm not sure the article sums up how bad things could get, but
it's a good read and I have rec'ed it.

How bad could things get? Well, in January 1933, the national adult unemployment rate in the U.S. was 25%. That's 1 out of 4 working-age adults unable to find work. Right now, the national adult unemployment rate is just shy of 10%, so the coming round of austerity and budget cutting has a lot of room to make things even worse.
