Bernie Monk, whose son Michael was one of 29 workers killed in the 2010 underground Pike River Coal mine disaster, expresses support for the families of the 16 workers killed in the Tennessee Accurate Energetic Systems weapons factory explosion. The fight at Kaiser reveals the growing militancy of healthcare workers and the need for independent rank-and-file leadership. The would-be dictator did not elaborate, but clearly further massive cuts are being planned for New Deal and Great Society-era programs of the 1930s and 1960s such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, on which tens of millions rely.

The abolition of basic welfare benefits shows the direction taken by the coalition of the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats with its war budget: Massive state debt and enrichment of the wealthy, while the working class is forced to bear the cost.
