I don't see how talking about 1 problem precludes talking about the other. Nor do I see Mish placing a value judgement of 1 over the other in his blog. Of late he has mentioned the unions quite a bit, but it's his blog, his choice. There are plenty of blogs that each have their own niche. Why does Mish have to be everything to everyone?

You and I are very much on the same page regarding WallSteet, both political parties, the phony War on Terror, the killing of innocents abroad, AIPAC, etc. You don't have to convince me philosophically.

I don't feel the public unions are THE most pressing problem facing us, but I applaud Mish and his efforts wherever he so choose to focus them.

We're already hearing about the state budgets being broke, but this will go into overdrive in 2010-2012 timeframe. I think Mish's focus will prove timely. The public knows they've been ripped off by Wallstreet. They don't know (usually) the degree to which public salaries/benefits are out of line w/private salaries/benefits (for similar skill levels).

Most of us on SI are far more informed than the general pubic. We also in general probably agree with each other more on the big issues than the general public. Why we snipe at each other over these pts is beyond me, but I guess it just shows the stress everyone is under in this political and economic climate.
