destruction of public workers' unions
Cities and States going bankrupt will also facilitate the destruction of public workers' unions, something the Corporatists want desperately. Although I'm not sure I understand the term "austerity anschluss", I'm sure the private sector will be gobbling-up (annexing?) huge chunks of what used to be public property and commonwealth.
In exchange for NOT holding the Commercial/Investment-Banks (i.e. -rigged casinos) accountable for their >$1/2-QUADRILLION in valueless derivatives, maybe we could put ALL real estate into a public trust and re-establish a homesteading program, and declare the derivatives market (and its speculative trading) null and void.
