The double standard they employ for dealing with a Democrat proposed budget vs. a Republican one is striking.

That is why we shouldn’t have public employee unions. The reason unions need to exist in the private sector is to give workers a voice in major decisions companies make. But public employees already have that. It’s called elections.

Public employee unions get to buy off their negotiating partners with massive campaign donations and third party support before even sitting down to negotiate. And it’s ruining this country.

I love how no major media has pointed out the disturbing difference in tone between how the CEA is reacting to Hick’s cuts vs anything Owens did. Kind of an important comparison.

“Y-You mean we’re actually going to do what we promised?! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!”

Congrats to Hickenlooper for proposing a common-sense budget. I can honestly say I’m pleasantly surprised.
