They’re about as efficient as the bloated government bureaucracy libs are so fond of.
Via Beltway Confidential:
It took two whole months, but Occupy DC protestors finally came up with a “Declaration of Occupation” to justify their invasion of D.C.’s Freedom Plaza and the recently-refurbished McPherson Square, which destroyed the just-planted stimulus sod.
The resulting smelly, unsightly, rat-attracting illegal urban campgrounds are a perfect metaphor for the collectivist Declaration of Dependence they finally came up with.
As noted elsewhere, the Occupiers seem to be mostly upset about having to repay their student loans. Their ire is understandable, as being deeply in debt is a real bummer when a job is harder to find than a shower.
But instead of blaming the Obama White House for persistent unemployment, economic policies that failed to stimulate the economy despite an unprecedented gush of federal spending, and the one unthinkable takeover of the automobile, mortgage, student loan and health care industries, ODCers are in a major funk over “corporate dominance” — which they claim “subverts democracy” and deprives them of “our rights to healthcare, education, food, water, and housing [which] are sacrificed to profit-driven market forces.”
