Great points Blueduck and right on the money. Anyone who has done any amount of work in DC knows this to be absolutely true. Since the 90's it has been nearly impossible to get anything done in DC unless you play the big government game, which is totally run by liberals. Lifers who actively work to undermine the candidates that the Republicans in this country put in office. Most of all our troubles started with that racist swine LBJ. We all know the racial enslavement he created, but what he did that was almost as bad was allow public unions. Unions only allow those who are paid handsomely at the top, make decisions for the little people below. Independents or Republicans don't want to live under that rule, so democrats and their mindless minions populated that space and have controlled it for decades. The power has grown as well as the war chests for all public unions who have historically given exclusively to democrats and they have infiltrated every level of our government.
public sector unions are full of far left types who can't or won't define a woman, and they're part of the Dimocrat corruption machine in most major cities. It's basically group think. Question it and you're ostracized.
that said, without unions, there would still be 9 year olds working in factories, no weekends, no sick time, PTO etc. Union membership was above 30 percent in the 70s. Now it's below 10 IIRC.
