Government by Example.

Shouldn't the government represent an ideal and lead by example, by building a positive relationship with it's Unionized workforce?
Or, should the government act like a private corporation and crush the voice of the workers organized into a union?

Union Envy

I been thinking a lot about the intellectual or emotional foundation of the virolently anti-gay person. Where does the rational come from to really hate another persons for something that happens between consenting adults, behind closed doors in a completely alternate universe.
What really started to bring my thinking into focus  was the outing of some real anti-gay zealots as closeted homosexuals. The only emotion I could imagine bringing out this type of hatred of people living there lives openly is envy. The closeted gay person so resents the open life of an out gay person that the powerful feelings of envy manifest themselves as hatred.
The reason I been thinking of this lately is because I been trying to get my head around how you make the non union part of the work force almost seem to hate the union portion of the workforce.
You see stories, yes looking at you Fox, although to be fair and balanced most news organization are part of larger corporations that have an inherent anti-union mentality, about organized labor getting this or that benefit from collective bargining. That union workers are over paid and are bankrupting our business and destroying our economy. All of which have more then enough evidence to disprove and an abundance of evidence about how great progress has been made over the years in working conditions and rules and a profound impact to the growth and stability of the middle class.
So how do you get the majority of non union workers to hate the unions. Envy.

Shrink the Government Shrink the Economy

Like it or not the federal government is a significant part of the over all economy. People earn wages, business provide goods and services in support of sevices provided by the government like healthcare where government spenting support thousands of private sector jobs. Doctors, Nurses and the janator sweeping the floor.
So if we, in the middle of an economic crisis, decide that we need to take an ax to government spending. We have to except that we are in fact shrinking the economy.
There are plenty of things to cut but the time to cut is when the private sector in expanding.
Which is not now.
