We'll have to wait until 2013 to see massive protests. What happened in Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan was a nice prelude, imagine that on a larger scale against the federal government except instead of angry public workers leading the way, it will probably be younger university students and somewhat less partisan. Riots will probably happen along the way at some point but will seem on the outside to be non-political when in reality they will be directly linked to the economic implosion we will be experiencing.
If it was tried by public workers, the rest of the public would rise up and lynch all of them. Okay. that is hyperbole, but they'd support firing them all.
Public workers are not popular. (I say this as a former public worker.)
I really cannot believe how totally out of touch the people on this board are with the American people.
I'm talking about peaceful protests, not riots...
That wouldn't make any difference. I know people that now work for the City of Philadelphia who won't admit to it, simply because they don't want the comments. I was a state worker in the 1990's, and as soon as I said, "I'm a welfare caseworker," all I'd get was comments about why I didn't through more people off the lists.

Were you in a coma when this was happening? Arguing with J. J. is like deciding you don't like the color of your house so you scream at your house to change its color instead of getting it painted. It also has about an equal chance of resulting in anything productive.
