Thom Hartmann: If the New Deal is on the table...then is social unrest too?

Ultimately - President Obama's deal is heavy on spending cuts - light on tax hikes. So even if Republicans set aside their urge to crash the economy for political and personal financial gain - and agree to President Obama's lopsided debt-limit proposal...is this REALLY a good deal for the majority of Americans? Are cuts to Medicaid and Medicare without tax hikes on millionaires and billionaires a good idea?
The answer is simply no. There's a new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research on Medicaid that plays into this. Plus Brzezinski spoke out about wealth inequality and social unrest.

@timmyk1983 First of all, you need to look closer. the republicans destroyed the dollar!! and NASA has moved it smartest and brightest to Climate Change Research and repair. The Pres. O had to allow the republicans to crash and burn so that their crazy policies could be in full view of all Americans; even those that do not pay close attention. By the end of his 2nd term we will not only be in a better place with the new deal intact but we willhave universal health care for all. mark my words.

Obama destroyed the Kennedy legacy by doing the bidding of the Rothschilds and David Rockefeller by allowing Bernanke to destroy the dollar (not to mention destroying NASA as well and gouging nearly $1 trillion out of Medicare which was also Kennedy Legacy) Now the last remnants of the New Deal will be destroyed and so will America under Caesar Obama.....

I had three signs recently. 1. I ask God for scripture, and he put it in my mind !john 2:17. 2. I was driving around last week and saw a number plate that said crisis7. 3 I was driving around again and saw an advertisement that said something like "the end is nigh" july 31. I think it was a movie advertisement but i can't see any movies like this from google. Basically, i think God is telling me that the system is going to collapse by July.

If SS gets touched, all bets are off. That will be the last straw for a lot of people...when their ability to survive is effected, people WILL stand up.
