JFK caused most of these problems by legalizing public unions. Then Ol’ Jimmy Carter put in the FEDERAL department of education as a payoff to the teacher unions. the DOE costs billions and has never educated anyone, but it has created legions of federal bureaucrats. Abolish the DOE and get rid of the unions. this will solve 80% of the problems

I’m curious if all of the laws and issues we discuss and lament about nowadays are a result of solid Democrat rule of government from the 1920s through the present? If so, wouldn’t it be pretty easy to make a nice little Glenn Beck slideshow of all of the garbage we put up with that didn’t exist prior to 19XX?

Every day I read about some law or tax that didn’t exist at some point in the 20th century, and it boggles my mind. The time period of change is really very short, and it’s amazing how people just roll over when something truly egregious is allowed to go into law.

Thanks - I never knew Kennedy started this. I just remember hearing as a kid that teachers were on strike somewhere... probably NY. Some unions just didn’t need to be!
