I did catch a few bits of the speech on tv, and it reinforced my decision not to watch such crap. Best thing I've seen this morning about it:
He said it in the prepared text and in the speech itself:
The bipartisan Fiscal Commission I created last year made this crystal clear. I don’t agree with all their proposals, but they made important progress. And their conclusion is that the only way to tackle our deficit is to cut excessive spending wherever we find it – in domestic spending, defense spending, health care spending, and spending through tax breaks and loopholes.
(emphasis added).
You got that? When you are allowed to keep your money, that is considered “spending” by the Federal Government. Because in reality all of the fruits of your labor belong to us, the government.
Whereas spending billions of dollars of other peoples' money to pay off union clowns through the method of building trains is good.
Right now, I'd guess the Gov of Hawaii is wishing he'd kept his mouth shut. Curiouser and curiouser.
I wonder if he was actually aware of the inconvenient(to the unions he's paying off and government regulators) parts of this?
President Obama in the State of the Union cited Bruce Randolph School in Denver as a shining example of educational success.
...
Notably, a key factor in the school’s success was a move to ditch the rules of teachers’ unions.
In 2008, the teachers there voted to reject unionization. Prior to that, the school had formed a “autonomy” agreement freeing it from local red tape and union rules.
Hmmm. School tells the union to piss off, gets cleared of a lot of BS rules and actually teaches kids; somehow I don't think that's quite the thought points he wanted to push.
Aside from that, I've got nothing.
