I wish for once you could post something without name calling being involved. I lose interest very fast when people do that, or feel the need to swear, or shout to make a point.

A 40 hour work week, millions of American families are working two jobs or over 60 hours a week to pay bills. The majority of small buinesses here have made deep cuts, cut or dropped benefits, etc...Course Unions and Corporations are killing small business, both pets of Dems and Rep.

We that pay taxes have to support huge benefit packages for these union workers while we do without benefits.... As Obama said, we all have to give, time unions get in line with the rest of us. Bankrupt states in the red are now facing hard facts, the cuts will have to be deep, many states are laying off. States don't do something now employess may find the bank turning down worthless paychecks.

I know plenty of unemployed people that would love to have these jobs and do them well, based on who is the best at it. Unions had a place once, Many of these union teachers suck, but almost impossible to fire. Pay and benefits should be based on who doe's the best job.
