Sometime ago a young President wannabe uttered the fateful words:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
In the spirit of that cooperation, I offer you my plan on dealing with the Wisconsin situation.

In what is clearly a state issue, President Obama has decided he needs to weigh in on the proposed legislation in Wisconsin.
Long a fan and powerful ally of unions in general, it is no surprise that Obama would come out in favor of the specific debate in Wisconsin.
Further adding to the list of non-surprises is his choice of words and his tactic of rhetoric.

Much gnashing of teeth has been made over the fact that the Right Wing engages in violent and aggressive rhetoric. Hand in hand with that is the concept that the Left Wing is a bunch of gentle lambs seeking peace and love and overall gentleness.
Behold said gentleness:
Fire. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

UPDATE:
A commenter noticed that I had incorrectly said that North Carolina State Employees have collective bargaining rights.
They do not.
stand corrected.
It’s the same ‘ol story; The scorpion, needing passage across the steam, requests assistance from the frog. The frog, justifiably suspicious of the scorpion demurs only to receive the promise from the scorpion that he will not sting him.
The rest shall we say, is history.
But the story is proving to be a fantastic parallel in North Carolina in specific and the rest of the states in general.

One thing is true. Unions increase unemployment and raise the cost of goods.
Period.
The modern concept of Union is able to accomplish this by the force of sword and gun. Laws have been passed that allow Unions to access the police force of the state to intervene on the Union’s behalf. With this access, the Unions are able to negotiate benefits for themselves that would not otherwise be possible in a relationship between two parties. In short, the Union uses legal coercion to obtain their benefits.
And this increases unemployment and raises the cost of good above what they otherwise would be.

The most famous line in the world: North Carolina State Politics Edition.
With a charging Republican majority in North Carolina, the State is getting ready to make some serious budget cuts. People are going to have to sacrifice, to be sure. And the deeper and sooner that sacrifice occurs, the better off the financial stability of the State.
Yet, no one can accept that fact.

Wanna know how to build a good school?
Fire bad teachers.
And this is fitting as WCPSS’ new superintendent takes the reins today. And as crazy as this sounds, I’m going to offer up as an example of how to do that none other than our fine President, Barack Obama.
I am learning more and more in life that if you wanna get something done:
It would appear that I’m not alone:

In the private sector, a service is something that is meant to be maximized; made better. This in an effort to lure more and more people into purchasing you r product – your service.
When the government is doing a service it take monopoly share of the market. It’s illegal for FedEx and UPS to deliver packages to a mailbox [ a mailbox that I purchase by the way ]. The government licenses cars. Issues driver’s license. The government educates our kids. All of it, they mandate .
But the service they provide turns from something that is meant to be grown and made better to something that is meant to be minimized and made cheaper.
