Michael Barone has written an excellent in-depth article on this increasingly important issue and you can read it on Townhall.com, Mon Feb 8, 2010. I don\u0092t wish to duplicate his work but I don\u0092t think it can be stated strongly enough. These unions have to be brought under control before it is too late \u0096 and it is very late indeed. Public service is an exercise in searching for oxymorons. They serve not the public but themselves, and are in place only to perpetuate their own power and existence. They flourish at the expense of the private sector. Mr. Barone said very succinctly that the public sector unions are a PARASITE sucking the life out of the private sector.<\/p>\n<p> Let me reprise: GOVERNMENT PRODUCES NOTHING! Fully seventy percent of all new jobs in this country come from small business. By and large, small businesses do not use private sector unions, though are not necessarily anti-union. Unions in this day and age accomplish little and obstruct much. Unions have destroyed productivity in this country. With their intransigent attitudes towards management they have forced development and manufacturing off-shore to more business friendly environments, leaving the unions to complain bitterly at the dearth of jobs. It\u0092s akin to circling the wagons and firing inwards. They have forced prices higher, made the very companies that were feeding them unprofitable and forced many out of business.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/skipmaclure.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/02\/obama_seiu.jpg\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/skipmaclure.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/02\/obama_seiu.jpg?w=400&amp;h=300\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/public_unions_%E2%80%93_government_glut_%E2%80%93_public_menace\" ><b> read more &amp;raquo;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/public_unions_%E2%80%93_government_glut_%E2%80%93_public_menace\" >http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/p&#8230;_public_menace<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>02.09.10 09:12 AM posted by Skip MacLure This is a HUGE problem.
