Wasted Hours
Nolan. 18. I go to school in Chicago. I like music, art, writing, politics, history, beards, Bob Dylan, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I generally post pictures I like, songs I like, and left-wing political stuff.

![sarahlee310:
Wisconsin will test the prospect that people power might yet beat money power.
Voters across Europe are rejecting politicians who have placed the mania for deficit cutting above all other needs, and the mainstream media are beginning to echo the mood, with even The Economist arguing that austerity is “strangling the eurozone’s chances of recovery.” As deeply flawed as the European experiment with austerity has been, however, at least it is commonly understood as a policy response to serious fiscal challenges. It’s different in the United States, where there has been little honest debate about the reasons for or the failures of austerity. This is unfortunate, as such a discourse would make it much easier for pundits to understand the June 5 Wisconsin recall elections for what they are: a grassroots rebellion against the determination of Republican Governor Scott Walker and his legislative allies to destroy unions, slash public sector wages and benefits, cut education funding and shred the social safety net.
[…]
The movement that occupied the state Capitol a year ago to oppose Walker’s attacks on unions and public services trained hordes of volunteers to gather the almost 1 million signatures that forced the recall election. Now those volunteers are countering Walker’s advertising onslaught with a door-to-door campaign focusing on the jobs data, which confirms the failure of his austerity agenda. Walker admits that if he is beaten on June 5, he won’t be the only loser. Other governors and policy-makers in Washington will, he says, be afraid of adopting his approach. He’s right. If people power beats money power in Wisconsin, it’s going to be a whole lot harder to sell the austerity lie as the fix for what ails America.
