Dystopia of Public Union attachment to our Government.
I have spoken about groups like Progress Ohio that are progressive oriented groups in states built on advancing progressive ideas. Until 2010 I didn’t even know there were groups dedicated to such a cause. I was still wondering if the word “progressive” was something Glenn Beck made up to support some conspiracy. As it turned out, Beck probably didn’t say enough.
There has also been a lot of discussion about state budget shortfalls and how on earth our local, state and federal government is going to pay for the massive revenue problems that are occurring. Well, these budget problems are caused by public sector unions that have managed to negotiate an average salary of approximately $79,000 per year per employee. That is more than the average American tax payer makes by over $20K per year. The formula is all messed up; where the public servant makes more than the public it serves. And as government has grown larger and employed more and more people, adding more employees to that fantastically high pay scale and the wages in the private sector have been frozen to deal with the recession.
Now listen below to the suggestion from Progress Illinois of how to cover the budget problems. (LAUGH OUT LOUD)
Can you believe that? That’s how out of touch progressives are. That is their solution to the irresponsible spending problem we’ve allowed in government.
The high wages promised government employees create a government that is revenue hungry.
And this video is hilarious. Didn’t these people go to school? Why do they think the steel mills went overseas? Unions drove the costs too high, so those jobs left the country.
Now they have done the same cost increase of labor as they did in the American Car companies and steel industries. But now those costs are in government and government can’t pick up and move to another country. Government exists to serve the people, so the only thing to do is to cut the jobs or reduce dramatically the salary of those employees in order to justify their existence. The videos below are by Armand Thiebolt of the Cato Institute. This isn’t Fox News, but the Cato Institute. It’s an attempt to present the problem cleanly.
Now this is Fox Business, a piece done by Jon Stossel, but I think it explains things very clear.
This is serious business!
What needs to happen is public sector unions should return back to the legal status prior to the Kennedy Administration. That needs to happen in 2011 while a conservative congress can address the issue. Only by dealing with the issue directly can we hope to avert catastrophic budget failures.

Cincinnati City “Clowncil” jumped on the union bandwagon. They caved big time. These idiots sat there with a room full of union thugs intimidating them and they choked. Of course five of them are owned by the union. The unions always make sure they maintain a majority of any public body, including the school boards.
These elected officials are willing to cut services that directly affect the people, but not the salaries and benefits of the union members.
There is no way to sustain the retirements alone.
Cincinnati will fall into the same rat hole as Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, St. Louis and every other major city in this country. Why??? Union control.

If you do any level of research or thinking on your own, you will discover that you will be on the side of Darryl and I, and that you should be helping him defeat his latest fight against the villains of his own district, who have sabotaged his school with an ominous presence from a syndicate that doesn’t loot with a gun, but with kindness and handshakes.
