A day in 1936, 75 years ago, when New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia opened the city pool in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The pool was the seventh pool built by the parks department with money from the federal Public Works Administration. Admission was ten cents when the pool opened, with children allowed for free in the morning. Robert Moses was the parks commissioner in those years. The pool meant a lot to New Yorkers then, 40,000 people attended its opening. The good thing says the current commissioner Mr Benepe, is that the city continues to invest in its parks and infrastructure.

Analysts point out that there is not much room for austerity cuts in Italy and Spain without cutting into muscle. This is because these countries have moved to make austerity cuts much earlier. Their budget deficits are actually less than what they were when they joined the euro currency zone. In the case of Italy the budget is actually in surplus, to the amount of 2% of GDP, when the financial position excludes interest on debt. And Italy has now moved to reduce the deficit to 3.9% of GDP in 2011. Under pressure from the ECB Italy has announced its aim of balancing the budget by 2013. Because both Italy and Spain have growth rates estimated at below 1% for 2011, analysts believe it is important to emphasize growth.

The wildly political nature of the events following spending cuts by Republican Governor Walker is seen in the recall elections for 6 Republican and 2 Democratic legislators. Only four such recall elections were held in Wisconsin in all the years since 1926, showing the extent to which the state is divided on the cuts and the rhetoric preceding the cuts. Interest is being shown from outside the state by unions and other interest groups on both sides. As part of the campaign about $30 million is being spent by outside groups filling the airwaves all the way into Minnesota.
