This is particularly amusing in a uniformly foolish but mostly dull article. Walker is only known for being anti-union and pro-freedom. That is the specific reason why he is a leading contender for 2016.
Mr Hoover, you are not a “dissident” on a quest for social justice. You are a white suburban punk. You are the Establishment, the Exempt. Your fellow travelers have the levers of power, and are abusing them as fast and hard as they can, just as they have every time they’ve gotten their grubby blood-sopped mitts on them.
The real dissidents? Try the folks on this site. You mewling sycophant.
The GOPee has 22 mo to prove that they are worthy in their control of Congress. Should they fail, they wont get Jeb as POTUS.
‘there are 500,000 fewer government workers since 2008.’
And not ONE of them has been missed by the general public. If we could get rid of a few million more it would be a good start.
“The stagnation of wages is actually a thirty-five-year story, one which both parties let happen. We all know that the focus has been on the so-called makers during that period of time. “Conservative forces – both parties — have made sure that corporate profit and stockholders are the focal points. Corporations plow back profits into executive salaries and stockholder dividends, not into labor, and compared to the past (before 1980), not into capital. Why replace cheap labor with robotics? And overall, corporate structure has shifted risk down to workers with contingent contracts, stingier retirement benefits, less generous franchise models, and plentiful subcontracting agreements. The laser focus on profits means most going to the top and less to the bottom.”
This guy cannot see the obvious. He misses it completely, a swing and a miss. What have we seen for the last 35 years, that’s 1980 folks, that would force worker wages to stagnate or decrease. Maybe an influx of millions of illegal aliens might have had something to do with it. Logic, something this guy lacks, would tell you that business would have to pay their workers more if these millions did not run across the Rio Grande. This guy cannot have it both ways, rising wages and out of control immigration cannot occur simultaneously in Realville.
Did you know that DEFENDING the constitution is radical? This author needs to go back and read old books about the founding fathers. Of course, I read somewhere that a new ‘professor of American History wrote a biography of Ben Franklin as a pedophile and sex manioc. What next? The the king of England asked Cornwall to lose at Yorktown?
I stand with Ted
Some Republicans threaten to audit the Fed, so the Fed offers to raise interest rates to trigger an enhanced recession at the time of the next election, so that the bought-off Republicans can win the election — and carry out the same agenda that we’ve seen under the Democrats.
