hello america!!! before obama was sworn in, i am on record as being against the unions that have been plaguing our gov't & private systems for what seems like forever. their greed (not every one of them) for wanting more while doing less has been a well known established fact. because of their numbers, importance & community dependence on them, they have always been in a position to dictate the terms of their own contracts....those 'more pay-less hours', 'more healthcare benefits-for less money', 'more perks' &, 'excellent pension packages' have been causing the deaths of many, many private sector company's for years &, it's finally caught up to our gov't at all levels.........
now, i last wrote about this early this morning at 12:46am & i wake up to find this, which was written at 5:40am...........

i don't have the resources nor do i have the ability to even make the charts that some of the articles i post make. that said, it doesn't take a harvard grad to see that the gov't, at all levels, have to solve their own problems in responsible ways...they have to quit spending what they don't have; they have to get rid of the programs that are not absolutely necessary; they have to rework the union contracts &, if that fails, file for bankruptcy & start all over. it may seem harsh but hey, it's got to be done.......
obama is always talking about 'fair' but, he refuses to touch on the unfairness of union contracts. what's fair about public sector workers paying much less for their own healthcare coverage & receiving far better benefits then their private sector counterparts...are you going to make the argument that a unionized garbage collector is worth more then a non-unionized one? can you honestly tell me a unionized janitor is worth more then his private sector counterpart?????? is a non-unionized nurse that saved a life worth less then a unionized one doing the same thing?????????
let's get real people!!!!! unions were formed because they make money. yes, collectively they can demand more however, we have long passed the point where we ask: are unions still worth it? they are given these very lucrative contracts & they epitomize "the gift that keeps on coming".
please, don't get me wrong....those public sector workers are essential but, at what cost? &, who should bear that cost? in the face of today's economic reality, should those in the private sector have to continue to pay for the 'benefits & perks' for those working in the public sector? why can't the union workers pay their own 'fair share' for their own healthcare coverage & pensions?
times have changed & what recently occurred in wisconsin is but the tip of the iceberg. it had to happen & it won't stop now. in fact, dem controlled illinios is trying to imitate wisconsin (but shush. obama & the dems don't want you to know they are trying to copy a repub program because when the repubs do it, it's wrong).
now to show you why i have nothing against obamas policy's for america, check this out...his plan for fixing our economy is more teachers, more firemen, more policemen, more infrastructure jobs, more green job investments &, more job training programs..........i am positive that you're ecstatic that 4 more years of the 'same' will solve all of our problems?
man, stupid me! here i was with that 'stinkin thinkin' that gov't (at all levels) would first find a way to get out of the hole & wait; here comes obama with more dynamite, bulldozers, & hi-tech excavating equipment.
but, what do i know??? maybe i have it backwards like, maybe i can't see the trees because of the forest...because obviously, a 35 year old female non-unionized ambulance driver is worth far less then a 35 year old female unionized ambulance driver!!!!!!!!!! yeah, i must have gotten it 'sdarwkcab'...silly me!!!!
