re: #163 garhighway

When you say “funding state and local unions”, do you mean the feds are actually cutting checks to unions, or that they are cutting checks to local governments to pay employees?

The problem isn’t that they’re cutting checks to local government to pay employees. The problem is that those employees earn far more than they would in the private sector for comparable work. When so many have to make do on less and less, why should these few go to the front of the line and get more and more, paid for out of what little those with less have?
