“Largest federal employee union applauds Clinton pick of Senator Tim Kaine as running mate”

And if Trump wins they can kiss that union goodbye.

sorry, but dream on....

I’ll be glad for all that Trump can accomplish, but I’m not even hoping for that.

The fat cat government workers know that Kaine and Unable will keep up the Democrat policies that take from the poor taxpayers and give to the rich bureaucrats. What’s not for this Union to love about that? Trump must air an ad about this damning endorsement.

The Sanders supporters got chumped.

They thought it would be Bernie as VP if he supported Hillary after she stole the Primary from him. Well they got fooled again. Reminds me of that old Who song “ Won’t Get Fooled Again”.

He wouldn't need Congressional approval. You do remember that the rule allowing Federal employee unions (for the first time in history) was just an Executive Order of JFK's. All it would require on Trump's part would be . . . balls. Do you remember that Bill Clinton staffer (I forget which metrosexual geek) and his chuckling remark about EOs?

“With some of his closest advisers deeply pessimistic about the chances of getting major legislation passed during the rest of the year, Mr. Clinton plans to issue a series of executive orders to demonstrate that he can still be effective.

‘’Stroke of the pen,’’ Paul Begala, an aide to Mr. Clinton, said in summarizing the approach. ‘’Law of the land. Kind of cool.’’

Paul Begala, July 4, 1998

LOL

I wonder sometimes if all government employees, at all levels, should not be allowed to vote.

While I don’t approve of discriminating against anyone but it seems many of the gov’t employees are going to vote for the politicians that give them the most stuff at the expense of the hard-working taxpayers.

It’s one reason why so many states are floundering with debt from the government employees retirement programs. It’s a huge problem in the US right now, created by them and the gifting politicians. Maybe just getting rid of the gov’t unions would be a better answer but something needs to be done in this area.

I stopped by an unnamed federal workplace to visit an old friend last week. In brief conservation with his workers, I found all of them quite open in their intention to vote for Trump, except one Bernie-ite who apparently isn’t going to vote. Obviously this is just a small snapshot, but it might indicate something, and this was in a very blue state.
