Today's the one month anniversary of the creation of the Occupy Wall Street protest. It is seen as both a nuisance and a a phenomenon. The views of many of the Occupy Wall street protesters is that they want government money to be spread around more evenly, as well as they want to punish the financial industry, who helped to start the economic downturn. Many of the protesters are extremely upset over high unemployment rates, outsourcing of jobs, and a decrease in job security. This movement has become so strong that even members of Congress, such as House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, ar backing the movement. So the question remains, will this protest impact US economic policy for years to come?
