No kidding. Not one word mentioned about the producers of those consumer goods and their CHOICE to outsource nearly everything. Do people realize that even their grocery store variety garlic comes from China!
Opine
Once again, Vermonters are about to step into the Fiscal Irresponsible Breach.
A public/private commission to proces claims; an end to the presence of private insurers; a waiver from OBAMACARE; steps into the fiscal abyss.
Private industry is already nearly banned in Vermont. There are only so many Maple Tree sappers jobs.
Vermonters, wake up! The Socialists representing you in Congress are dedicated leftists. You are better than this process.

"The right of Americans to organize is inherent in the First Amendment's protection of the right to assemble and to petition the government for redress."
Private sector unions have and still do fulfill a hole in the work place. Many of the laws and protections afforded the american workers are in place due to the tireless work of unions. However, as of late most unions have only negotiated for more money, better benefits and a better retirement.
My understanding is that Public employees do not have a "right" to collective bargaining. Federal employees do not have collective bargaining. And the states that have collective bargaining for public employees do so by choice. The people of Wisconsin years ago voted to give public unions the so called "right" to bargain.(I bet the group of lawmakers that didn't agree with it didn't run and hide so they could shirk their duties).
I may not agree with the methods of Gov. Walker however I believe the intent is exactly what is needed in this country. In my opinion The difference between public and private worker unions is that private worker unions know that if they crush their employer they will not have a job. They have a vested stake in the union coming to an agreement with the employer. Public unions KNOW that the government can not shut down and hold a monopoly against the government. there is no real bargaining with a public union.
If it is not about money or benefits then allow the private unions to continue to fight for worker safety and constitutional rights.
Two people can look at the same picture and see completely different things. I believe that until people on the left and right see that and start to talk openly without hate and condesencion we will continue to fight amongst ourselves while socialist, marxist and communist groups continue to use situations like that i Wisconsin to recruit.
Those on the left and right watch what is coming
...or wait, are you Tim Philips of Americans Against Prosperity? Dick Armey of Fiefdom Works? Well, in any event, thanks a whole bunch showing us poor, ignorant workers your fancy spin machine!
Another assault on the working middle class. Not only is Walker selling the state of WI to the Koch Bros. (his legislation includes no bid contracts of public lands), but he's cutting and gutting our educational system to boot. Our missing Democrats are allowing the truth to come out and spread. What's in all this for Biddy Martin?
