The Occupy Wall Street movement holds something in common with another movement that chose to take up residence on public property.
In 1932, 43,000 people marched on and occupied Washington, D.C., demanding an early cash payment of the bonus they were promised for serving in World War I. The so-called Bonus Army members -- about 17,000 veterans, marching with their families -- were due to get their bonuses in 1945, but the ravages of the Great Depression left many veterans desperate for the money.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). This interim final ru...

It is suggested that the nation's experience in World War I helped shape the high level and progressive character of peacetime taxation in the 1920s. First, the public debt attributable to the war helped keep federal revenues elevated throughout the decade. Second, the debate over the nation's financial obligations to World War I veterans became intertwined with the politics of taxation, and in 1924 the outcome was a noteworthy victory for progressive forces on taxes as well as the veterans' issue. The cost of the war was unprecedented, and billions had been financed by deficit spending. Wartime taxes had climbed to new heights. Thanks in large part to the fiscal hangover of World War I, mainstream Republicans acquiesced in continuing high taxes in order to give priority to paying off t...

Given the realities of ever-tightening public budgets and the directives inherent in the No Child Left Behind Act (2001) school districts have been required to do more (with more direct accountability) with less (funding) than ever before. These two forces are, of course, conflicting. One approach to the funding dilemma has districts consolidating schools in order to pool enrollment and resources, in an attempt to reduce pressure to increase class size that would likely reduce student achievement. Another is to create incentive contracts for teachers so that student achievement would directly affect teacher salary. We introduce monitoring technology into an agency-based model of teacher incentive contracting to determine optimal school size, bringing both sides of this debate together.

State aid cuts may have resulted in higher tuition costs at area public colleges and universities, but the pay packages for the presidents of those institutions have continued their steady rise, a Dayton Daily News examination found.
