Bailing Out the Public Unions – Pelosi to Give $26B State Aid Package

Pelosi is trying to buy the votes of the Teachers Union by giving them a $26B aid package and she even had the gall to tweet about saving teachers jobs! The States have threatened to lay off teachers and the Dems have responded with handouts. No offense teachers but get a life and quit being beggars and wards of the State! I am a union member, not a public employee union, but a real union that goes out and works hard every day and if we don’t produce we get fired, when the jobs aren’t there, we get laid off.

My union might revoke my card, but enough is enough.

State governments are failing everyone. Let’s start with laying off the real culprits, the bureaucrats, instituting pay cuts of all elected officials, reducing the size of government payrolls with either pay cuts or layoffs. Start with every department and cut back by the same percentage as unemployment is in that State and add another 5% to the cut.

I am not for laying off teachers, but they aren’t any more privileged than I am. I spent years risking my life every day to make sure hard working Americans had electrical power. 3:00 am in the middle of January, 10 below in ice storms, we climbed poles, dug through frozen ground, got the power on! In normal days we built the electric infrastructure for Hospitals, housing developments, highways, government offices, television and radio stations, cell towers, but those days are gone. Fanny and Freddie fixed that, but Wall Street got the blame. No more loans, no more building permits, no more jobs.

Result? Massive layoffs of union workers. But wait, aren’t the unions all getting bailed out? We didn’t. And hundreds and now thousands of private sector union members are sitting idle. Hey Pelosi! You have lost my vote.

TheHill.com has a great piece on the whoring out of our public sector unions.

Audit by SIGTARP on Failure of Government in Auto Industry Takeover

Michelle Malkin has a great column today on Sunday nights release of the audit by the Special Inspector General of TARP. Read the report linked from her website and see how  disastrous the handling of GM and Chrysler was.  Job losses were never taken into consideration and their own criteria was not consistently followed.  So why were some chosen to remain open and others not, who actually benefited and why?
