As Rush just pointed out today, why are you bragging about Dems supporting rich white union thug leaders, and not the working people that are paying the salaries, and medical, and retirement of the government workers? It's really kind of strange to see so many of you libs doing this. Do you really think that the working stiffs are not going to notice or remember this? Or that they will forget by 2012?

They're cowards, Ken. State workers on average across the USA earn more with better benefits than their counterparts in the more productive private sector. Yet they refuse to return a fraction of their taxpayer funded ill gotten gains to their employers who are their fellow Americans. They're greedy and voters have finally decided it's time to cutback on the taxpayer fueled gravy train.

Hey Ken! What do you think of the professional ethics displayed by the giving out sick slips with totally bogus ailments? I have to say a diagnosis didn't take long. What do you think the state boards and University should do for this professional breach of ethics?

We need to remember -- as the Wall Street Journal pointed out -- that "collective bargaining for government workers is not a God-given or constitutional right." True -- and though we take them for granted today, public unions arrived on the federal level by way of executive order only in 1962, and states quickly followed. After five decades, various strikes and walk-outs, $3.32 trillion in state unfunded pension liabilities, and the current state of public education, it is hard to make the case that public sector unions are doing this country much good. And even harder to sustain is the moral case for public sector unions. spectator.org
