Bloomberg: Jobs crisis could spark riots here
By Aaron Smith @CNNMoney September 16, 2011: 4:10 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is worried that high U.S. unemployment could lead to the same kind of riots here that have swept through Europe and North Africa.
"You have a lot of kids graduating college, [who] can't find jobs," said Bloomberg, during his weekly radio show on Friday. "That's what happened in Cairo. That's what happened in Madrid. You don't want those kinds of riots here."

That was the mayor's response when asked about the poverty rate, which rose to 15.1% in 2010, its highest level since 1993, according to census data released Tuesday. About 46.2 million people are now living in poverty, 2.6 million more than last year.
"The public is not happy," he said. "The public knows there is something wrong in this country, and there is. The bottom line is that they're upset."........................>>>>...................>>>>....................http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/16/news/economy/bloomberg_jobs_riots/index.htm

it's too bad the 'king' was too busy fornicating with the eunuchs...


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

As long as the welfare state is in full swing I don't see riots happening from jobs. I would expect riots when that welfare state is all but eliminated because we can't afford it any more, the way things are heading that time may be soon upon us.
