The Kansas governor, U.S. senators and U.S. representatives are all Republican.
That’s why this is happening.
These damn fools have to start learning to play hardball. Obama orders a “recess” appointment, a senator has to hold up five other appointments.
Obama acts punitively against your state or district, you gather up a few other such targeted pols and you yank some funding for New York, California, Washington state and so on.
To assume that this is the only reason it is happening is woeful and myopic.
Unions are counterproductive, internally and externally. Internally with its negotiated restrictions, and externally with its politics.
The more unions push for socialism, the more unproductive America becomes, the more money is demanded for social issues by reason of association with said socialism, which means less money back in their direction for jobs.
Cuts have to happen. I hope the unions are happy now. Their well paying jobs are going so “spread the wealth” can march forward.
