I haven't seen it featured in a lot of US news agencies, but the economical situation is Israel might be insightful in comparison with the US. For the last couple of months Israelis are protesting about the economical situation around the country. The focus of those protests is the neo liberalist and capitalist direction the country took. You can search for #j14 on twitter. The protest demands among other things social justice, free education from the age of 3 months and free housing. Last week 400,000 protested around the country. That's about 7% of the population. Oh, and today S&P just upgraded Israel credit status to A+.
