Re: Obama Appoints SEIU's Stern to Debt Panel [Veronique de Rugy]
Look at this chart. It shows that in 2009, for the first time ever, more public-sector employees (7.9 million) belonged to a union than did private-sector employees (7.4 million) despite there being five times more wage and salary workers in the private sector.
[Chart in URL]
So now, with a union boss on the debt commission and these many public employees unionized, with 33 percent of the education industry unionized and 31 percent of union members belonging to the education industry, what do you think are the chances that the stimulus spending on education will be made permanent?

Kind of like assigning Al Capone to head the FBI.

One of the dumbest POTUS we have ever had. Actually he is very smart since he is a hard core communists and hates America's freedoms. He has made many advancements and is very dangerously close to building a corrupt criminal army of insiders that will use our Constitution to destroy us.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Obamas plan to force companies that have dealings with the government to pay prevailing wages? Everyone thinks they are going to be getting big pay increases, the truth is they will be getting more and more pink slips. At least the Soviet communists were secretive in their ploys to destroy us. Obama brags about it.

Somebody should ask him what experience in “debt reduction” this armchair union thug brings to the table.

Experience? His experience led to his statement that “if we can’t get there by the force of persuasion, we’ll use the persuasion of force.” This guy is bad, bad news.

Hmmm....A union boss in this slot, a union boss appointed to the NY Fed. A communist, Van Jones, made a Czar in charge of doling out $30 million for green jobs. A gay activist made a "Safe Schools Czar". An apologist for a man convicted of aiding Muslim terrorists put in charge of "Muslim outreach".
I think I detect a pattern here.
