Posted in post number 10. It lays out a great case against public sector unions.

I'm saying that public support must be there -- and must be seen to be there. Leaders, such as Walker, are a minority of politicians. Most need to see which way the parade is going, before they get out in front of it. You shouldn't take comfort in being part of a "silent majority" -- it's better to be part of a noisy, pushy majority.

it's better to be part of a noisy, pushy majority.

A silent majority doesn't stand a chance against a noisy minority so we better become a very noisy majority.

For what sane reason are public worker unions even needed?

Other than simply siphon off money from the public treasury to fund their Democrat allies, they have no other reason to exist but to exert pressure ‘collective-bargaining’ and extort from the public treasury.

Agreed! No public servants should be unionized, especially when they have the power to strike!

At least two past presidents, both dems, I think, Wilson? T. Roosevelt? and FDR spoke unequivocally about the unacceptability of "public emmployee" unions.
We all know where Ronald Reagan stood. And we also all know where The Great Destroyer of America and his party stand.

I am searching for the links and will post their exact words later.

Coincidentally, Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace was on, Fox, with "guests" only representing the "Public" Employees Thug Unions only. It will be repeated later today at 11 pm PDT.
Recommended watching, because Chris plays the devil's advocate in favor of the unions with much more sympathetic enthusiasm, as hard as he attempts not to.

HOORAY Mitch Daniels! No public unions and a lot less public workers in a much smaller government.

DISMANTLE UNaccountable government bureaucracies (socialism). Let the workers find a job doing something productive...not something “progressive”.

FDR thought government worked better without them.

If it’s good for the fedgov, it’s good for the stategov.
