Reason Morning Links: Boston Cops Storm OWS Camp, Super Duper Deficit Committee Meeting Only in Secret, Wisconsin Dems Announce Recall Effort for Scott Walker

|

  • Garrett Quinn reports that Boston cops trashed an Occupy Wall Street camp in Dewey Square last night: "They stopped directly across from the new encampment and waited for over 15 paddywagons to arrive. Shortly thereafter officers appeared at the top of the new camp and started issuing warnings to those in the camp. At 1:40 am the police barreled through the first line of defense the occupiers put up, an old veterans group carrying flags known as Veterans for Peace."
  • Wisconsin Democrats will begin gathering signatures for Gov. Scott Walker's recall next month. MSNBC's Ed Schultz is apparently letting the group make its announcement on his show.
  • Members of the super committee tasked with reducing the deficit "often skitter away from journalists who wait outside their meetings, held up to seven hours a day"; "operate in an insular world." Republicans and Democrats who aren't on the committee say the secrecy makes them want to vote against the committee's recommendations. 
  • The U.S. Senate is about to start a trade war in order to punish China for currency manipulation. 
  • Herman Cain is neck and neck with Mitt Romney.
