"Austerity riots will come to the US" - RT 110701

Page 2: The $3 trillion that the US has spent on the "War on Terror" since year 2000 has been a bonanza for a vast subculture of military contractors. The funding for this is all borrowed, & ironically, many of the bonds are held by sovereign nations that are potential military adversaries of the Goldman-Sachs/Military-Industr­ial regime in Washington. Since Congress will not reduce defense spending, it will eventually break our fiscal-monetary back. Financial Panic #2 or a big war is coming.

The pattern of US "defense" spending since the year 2000 is clear. The USA's defense budget in the year 2000 was $300 billion, and even that "low" number included a lot of waste. However, you could make a reasonable case that it takes $300 billion per year to defend the homeland, provide a nuclear deterrent, and keep the sealanes open. However, the foreign wars of the US since year 2000 have cost an additional $3 TRILLION,* & we cannot sustain this. *above a $300 billion annual baseline

What Celente predicts, we already have, but in the USA, the frustration appears in the form of widespread tax evasion, ubiquitous drug use, massive black market in firearms & drug manufacturing & sales, mass alcoholism, bank robberies, widespread convenience store robberies. I can name you thirty cities in the USA where you would be crazy to walk the streets any time of day. As for organized mass protests in the USA, the vapor is building, but the atmosphere is not yet ready for an explosion.

A look in the economy.

That would be an academic look, but government austerity measures and riots are more like politics.
