HOLY CARP!!!

Rampant corruption and inefficiency when government contracts with a union to perform a public service. Who'da thunk it? And the public pays the price when the government threatens to clean up the system, and the unions do the only thing they can do: take their toys and go home. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/nyregion/new-york-school-bus-drivers-go-on-strike.html?pagewanted=all |

I bet it is. It's a good start. Meanwhile, Kasich's Ohio budget for next two years projects an additional $500M into the rainy day fund. We will see, but he's doing a great job so far. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130129/NEWS010801/301290148/ENQUIRER-EXCLUSIVE-Kasich-says-two-year-budget-has-1B-surplus There. edited.

I like how the bus drivers union is using ads showing mangled bus wrecks. And the leader of one of the biggest bus companies brandishes a loaded gun in a negotiation. There is nothing scarier than when uniformly stupid people group up and attain some measure of power. |
