Corruption, greed, incompetence, bureaucratic bungling: Those are the things most likely to be found when the charade of public union outrage is peeled back to reveal the inner workings of collective bargaining. There is no doubt America is engaged in an ideological battle. On one side are the public sector unions and workers demanding the taxpayers cough up more to fund their fat paychecks and bloated pensions. On the other side are the majority of Americans who work in the private sector, fund their own retirements and health care, and have no entitlement programs they havent designed themselves. The public sector is asking for more blood while the private sector is beaten unconscious and bleeding from every major artery.
The newly elected Republican guard is trying to stop the bleeding, starting with the mess that is the public union. The howling has only just begun (see Wisconsin and Ohio). The Left has used unions and workers rights throughout history to weave their socialist ideals into the fabric of society. They use words and ideas that sound good in theory like all children have the right to education! All workers have the right to a fair wage! A chicken on every table! A rice cooker on every counter! They use these mantras to make anyone who doesnt think leftist ideas actually help people feel ashamed of themselves. But when you get down to the practical application of their ideas, you find the nice words are covering up a festering, rotting corpse of horror.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the public school system where we are facing record malfeasance and mismanagement of public trust.

Governor Walker understands what is at stake. Interesting how the media is not covering these stories.
This gives the examples you wont see on the MSNBC pro-public worker rally shows.

Greed and mind numbing stupidity.
You know, for DECADES now, parents have been going to their kids' teachers and begging them -- "Just teach my kid to read and write and do math..."
But of course the experts know best. "Let's introduce the homosexual agenda into the classroom for kindergartners!!!!"
And then teachers wonder why their schools are sinking like rocks.
The sooner the better -- let 'em die and either homeschool the kids or set up a charter school.
