This is the lunacy we get when we let unions and Democrats run the government. The federal government is quickly heading into the same situation.

Even the Wall Street Journal is recognizing the Alinsky pattern in the Obama administration.

Government workers, by definition, work for us all. So why would we want to support a public employee’s union which is demonstrably detrimental to the public’s welfare?

The U.S.’s largest marxist organization, Democratic Socialists of America, is about to further strengthen its hold the country’s most influential labor union – the SEIU.

The federal government hasn’t got any money, and its creditors are shutting off the credit spigot. The $700 million “won” by New York is pretend money, faery gold that will melt away to nothing when the trumpets sound to herald the great inflation that is coming upon us.

The bottom line is that GM and Chrysler still owe the government a great deal of money, and it is far from clear that they will be able to repay it all. As long as the prospect of large losses for taxpayers loom in the distance, it is impossible to say that the jobs saved didn’t come at the expense of other jobs.

Public school teachers are unhappy with the growing campaign to grade their performance. They shouldn’t be. It’s almost impossible to fire a union teacher, even those who are profoundly incompetent. In one example, a teacher who “kept a stash of pornography, marijuana and vials with cocaine residue at school” was marked for firing, “but a commission balked, suggesting that firing was too harsh.”

What happened in Rand’s narrative is coming to pass today, with an anti-business administration reviling private industry and capitalizing on crisis to expand and redirect investment within and between sectors of the economy — setting quotas, prices and compensation.

Michelle Malkin – Everything you need to know about President Obama’s fraudulent ethics pledge can be summed up in four words: SEIU lawyer Craig Becker.

Maybe we should not have saved so many of those union teacher’s jobs. New data show that fewer than 25% of 2010 graduates who took the ACT college-entrance exam possessed the academic skills necessary to pass entry-level courses, despite modest gains in college-readiness among U.S high-school students in the last few years.
