    Sounding alarm bells about the nation’s high unemployment rate, Mayor Bloomberg warned this morning that there could be widespread mayhem in the streets if Washington lawmakers don’t start creating jobs for millions of Americans who are out of work.

    “We have a lot of kids graduating college, can’t find jobs,” Bloomberg said on his weekly WOR radio show. “That’s what happened in Cairo. That’s what happened in Madrid. You don’t want those kinds of riots here.”

    Bloomberg also said the damage may be done — especially to recent college grads — as the nation’s unemployment rate hovers around 9 percent.

    OK so what are you going to do about it.

    Raise taxes?
    Add new fees?
    Add more meter police?
    Raise the evaluation of houses fraudulently to collect more taxes? (Only ordinary citizens go in jail for that)?
    Cut vouchers for working people?
    Triple the cost of everything?
    Adding and raising tolls and barriers to work?
    Cutting train routs in Brooklyn, making it harder to get to work?
    Having the unions work like snails on the transit system forever, with constant delays?

    Move over Mr Mayor!

    The riots as we had in the 60’s are, I hope, not likely to happen again. They were done by a lawless class that never intended to work. This privileged class never works, never feels unemployment and lives on benefits for generations.

    This is in anticipation of the planned protest this weekend – “Occupy Wall Street”, by anarchist/activist groups. 20,000 people are planning to descending on Wall Street for months. Stay away from the area.

    Well if there will be riots or not only time will tell but every innocent person hurt or G-D forbid killed will be his fault his insane campaign against gun ownership will be the number one reason why people won’t be able to protect their homes and family’s

    I believe he’s right. There is no way to stop the entitlements as there would be blood on the streets, and there is no way to continue in this way as there simply isn’t enough money. The USA is slowly being destroyed not from terrorists but their own citizens.

    There is no statistical correlation between rioters and unemployment. In fact, many of the rioters of the 1960’s had jobs, but chose to join in with other rioters, after they completed their day jobs, as the vast majority of the civil disorders occurred in the evneing. Therefore, Bloomberg does not know what he is talking about.

    Hey Bloomberg – lower your NY taxes and the NY companies will hire more people – lower the property taxes, water bills, etc and people will want to live in NY and not leave NY

    Wasn’t it just a few short months ago that Bloomberg stated that he welcomed illeagl immigrants in his city?
    Now what do you suppose is the root cause of all this unemployment?
    Nah, it has nothing to do with all the illegal immigrants!!!

    I know what Meier Bloomberg will propose to do. That’s right the answer to ALL our problem is, you guessed it, more gun control. Oh yes, we have to get rid of those illegal gun Meir. You know what, we all want to get rid of illegal guns, so why don’t you do it already? You know why? Because maybe, just maybe he doesn’t really want to get rid of illegal guns. I think 😉 wink wink, he want to make all guns illegal, don’t you Meir Bloomberg? And while your at it, why don’t you divorce your goyyishe wife and start keeping kosher and coming to shul and USE some of that big big money you have to support Yeshivas. Yeah, wouldn’t that be a novel idea. How about it brother? How about using some of them big bucks you have to help the Yeshiva in town and in the tri state area and in Israel.

    Perhaps we should employ more construction workers to build a multitude of mosques throughout AMERICA!

    The collective stupidity of the posts on this site continue to amaze me.
    This has to do more with the sociological revolution of the digital age combined with a culture that is steeped in materialism and increasing poverty….
    People can now text message each other and gather within minutes to commit crimes and there’s nothing that could ever be done to stop that, with the exception of a happy, well fed and employed populace, but those times are gone.

    It’s literally an inevitability that riots many times worse than the English riots will occur here.
