	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey fine.  You&#039;re oversimplifying big time but fine.  

All i&#039;m saying is that “profound animosity towards the notion of unions” did not keep our unemployment rate under 5%, provide solid growth and magically balance the budget over the last 10 years.  That&#039;s crap.  

Which was my point.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Strupp;
While the damaging effect of unions on the free market is obvious and inarguable, the biggest problem with them right now is how they are being showered with legislative gifts and special privileges in return for massive political contributions and guaranteed voting blocs.  Further, it is the greed of the unions (who make Wall Street look like pikers) which has spiraled government employee costs out of control and will soon be responsible for the financial collapse of at least two states, with many more on the way.
I consider this to be a Bad Thing and hence do not regard unions, as they currently exist, as good for our country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Well, if “profound animosity towards the notion of unions” is what kept our unemployment rate under 5%, a GDP that was the envy of the world, the ability if not to shrink the deficit, at least keep up with the ridiculous Washington spending, then I’d have to say, “bring it on!”&quot;

Uh...Interesting.

Ya really think de-unionization brought us sub-5% unemployment and a GDP that was the envy of the world? 

Really? 

Really, really?


GDP growth during the Bush years averaged just south of 2.5%.  
And deficit/GDP was about 0% in 2000 and a touch over 8.3% at the end of 2008 (give or take).  


Are you saying stuff just because it sounds good?]]></description>
