Over at Mother Jones, Kevin Drum gets abaft Matt Taibbi's admonition to the Occupy Wall Street protesters – to plan up "a abbreviate but able account of demands" aimed at absolutely charwoman up Wall Street – and throws in a few suggestions of his own:
If it were up to me I'd aperture in some affectionate of advantage claim in abode of the lobbying item, but I admit that this wouldn't absolutely be a autonomous army pleaser. So if that doesn't work, how about banning acclaim absence swaps? Despite the best efforts of several humans to argue me otherwise, I abide agnostic that they're a net absolute for the banking system. I don't apperceive how applied an absolute ban would be unless we got the blow of the apple to go along, but it's apparently a little bit bigger as a ambulatory cry than "Hey hey, ho ho, risk-based basic has got to go, and it should be replaced by a simple advantage arrangement of at atomic 10%."
Meanwhile, on Letterman endure night Bill Clinton said the protesters charge to alpha absorption on specific politcal solutions to addition the economy: "I anticipate that, on balance, this [protest] can be a absolute thing, but they're traveling to accept to alteration their energies at some point to authoritative some specific suggestions ... to put the country aback to work," he said. A acceptable abode to start: Obama's jobs plan. "They charge to be for something specific and not just adjoin something because if you're just adjoin something, somebody abroad will ample the exhaustion you create," he said.
