Shock Doctrine

I read Naomi Klein's book this past summer - The Shock Doctrine. I am petrified of what's next in our economy.

The latest bailout proposed by Bush is a bomb waiting to go off next year. Our country will be awash in so much debt that the "free marketers" will be screaming to curtail entitlement programs. This is the gambit to privatize social security, education, and end discussions on health care reform.

We cannot allow this maneuver to be successful. Write your congressperson and senators. Write letters to the editor. Talk to your neighbors, friends and family.

Do something. Now.
