Go ahead, spread the meme the Occupy movements are "Obamavilles" and be done with it. Maybe you wouldn't want to do that, because that would then make Mitt Romney or Herman Cain (at this point) FDR. If it is Cain, then his 9-0-9 plan would end up being a New Deal. Maybe he could start World War III and the roaches who look back at human history could then find economic books and attribute the restart of civilization with roaches as a great economic stimulant.

It's tempting, but I can't stoop to pretending that these are modern day Hoovervilles if only because that would mean validating these miscreants' romantic notions that they are the poor and downtrodden when in reality they're largely just economic illiterates who are frustrated by their inability to parlay a master's degree in self-absorbed navel-gazing into wealth beyond measure.

Do you think loans would be given out in "self-absored navel-gazing" if those getting such said degrees would be able to file bankruptcy and get out of them, when they couldn't a job?  Individual stupidity doesn't turn into a debt level exceeding that of credit cards, unless enabled.
