To deal with the grave threat facing our planet at the hands of teachers and bus drivers, duh!

Is our FW pontificating on yet another subject he knows fuck all about again?

 

I'd guess his wife told him to just STFU a long, long time go, so I guess its all about us.

I think that what tweaks people out is to see COLA in place while private folks are getting hours cut or pay reduced in these nasty economic times. That said, the topic is being used to bash public employees in general.

 

It's the old divide and conquer tactics. Instead of demanding a halt to the race to the bottom, corporate tools incite to hatred against employees who have unions to protect their interests.

 

I mean Christmas! -- teachers? I know, let's say that kids are the highest priority but stuff 32 of them in a classroom with 10% of those with special needs, pay mediocre salaries, and expect the teachers to swim upsteam against everything from non-functional families to NCLB.

 

It's going to be interesting (read grim) now that the public has reversed the candy/soda tax (I mean really? Candy and Soda repeal?) and voted down the income tax.

 

1053 is the really scary part. if the court doesn't strike it down as unconstitutional, we are condemned to bankruptcy and dwindling public and social programs like California.

I'm thinking of starting an initiative for

2) eliminates the use of paid signature gatherors.

OR????

 

Can't we have both?

Killing those you disagree with - par for the course from the left.

Gotta love how the left claims to want to hear the people's voice... except when they "speak up" and pass initiatives.

whats hilarious is how Washington State hates what California has become and follows the same path of retardation - stupid initiatives, car focused growth, no public transport

Yea. An ex-college ring salesman making his living off initiatives funded by out-of-state interests. Home grown all the way.

You are making stuff up per usual. The left refuses the tyranny of the minority (like a 2/3 vote requirement) precisely because it wants the people to be heard. Orwell would be proud of you.

[KaskadskyjKozak]

Orwell would be proud of you.

 

...for seeing you for what you are, comrade. Indeed.

[j_b]

Classic jackbooted dodge from Attila. Apparently, you don't know that Orwell was a life long left winger.

and he hated the extreme left (that would be you)

[j_b]

Nope, you are very poorly informed on multiple counts. Orwell hated Stalinists. What about reading some instead of continually making an ass of yourself?

 

Anyhow, it stands to reason that anyone to the left of joe Lieberman be "extreme left" for a storm-trooper like you.

KKKunt was talking about Eric Blair.

[j_b]

You are as far-left as they come. Even TTK rejects you as a kook.

Which is why he's been outlining the means to save your precious "free enterprise" system for the last 2 1/2 years.

Yeah? Well we're all getting great seats to the show the anti-Keynesians are putting on. Five years from now this country is going to look like a half-naked street person with a prolapsed bowel.

You have the political acumen of a stump. I have never argued for anything other than a mixed economy (i.e. the most common economic model in the world today, including that of the US), democracy and republican citizenry.
