Van Jones: It’s time for an “American Autumn” in the spirit of the Arab Spring

Countless part of a continuum in Jones quixotic dream "to build a progressive counterweight to the tea party." Honestly, it seems almost charming that you plan to sell your program as a U.S. version Arab spring win the public to their cause. I have not seen a U.S. survey on the topic in a while, but last time I checked, people here were decidedly lukewarm about the protests in the Middle East. And that was before the riots recently in Greece, the August riots in London, and the spectacle of the Egyptian People degenerate into an assault on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.The grievances are different in each of these cases, but the broader lesson remains that the manifestations of popular discontent of the masses have tended to become quite bad lately. And if the lesson has not been fully digested, however, wait until the heroes of the revolution in Egypt to choose a more radical regime that had already cut. My hunch is that if Jones has never hosted a multitude of sizes Tahrir held protests, ending a commercial operating as de facto GOP campaign. On the other hand, perhaps electoral politics is irrelevant here. From left disappointed Obama, partly because the lion is not expected to be progressive and partly because it is on track to take the match into a total of next year clean-out. Somehow the Great Liberal alignment of 2008 has led to this and this. They tried to setup permanent Democratic majority from top to bottom choosing O, now let's try from the bottom up with the "Fall of America" ​​or whatever. I have to remain relevant in some way, right?

Anyway, that's a relief from an interview with Lawrence O'Donnell expect strong. The highlight others: Jones casually dismissing "this false invented things deficit" that Republicans are always yammering about. That's part of its ongoing attempt to convince a population that is $ 14 trillion debt that the main thing standing between them and prosperity is their unwillingness to turn people upside down and shake rich room in your pocket . Who knows? Perhaps the fall of America will be a great success and the new Democratic majority in Congress will restore the Clinton tax rates and spending for Medicare for all, as true warriors progressive choice. So yes it's going to be rich.
