Participant[quote=gandalf][quote=paramount]I would say no more than 90% of our financial problems were caused by the public employee unions in California.[/quote]
Back it up, paramount. Bring facts.
Or were you just ‘making shit up’?
I see some problems with public unions, what’s happened here in the City of San Diego is corrupt to the core.
But compared to getting gang-raped by the financial industry, the problems are minor. Do the math. As a matter of proportion, we have bigger problems than unions.
Right-wing populists, tea partiers, should be upset with wall street, banks and corporations. Instead they bitch to no end about liberals, unions and hollywood.
Entire generation of clueless idiots re-living Vietnam while corporations and robber barons plunder the country into oblivion.[/quote]
Remember how the Tea Party originally started out as being against bailing out bankers and FBs? Then, it quietly morphed into being anti-union, anti-healthcare, and anti-taxes. I don’t think that was an accident.

March 19, 2011 at 5:49 PM #678656ParticipantOne more expense I forgot to address is private contractors who significantly overcharge the govt.
This is federal, but the same thing happens at a local level:
The Defense Department overpaid a billionaire oilman by as much as $200 million on several military contracts valued at nearly $2.7 billion, an internal audit has found.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. led a probe against Sargeant in October 2008, accusing him of using his close relationship with Jordan’s royal family to secure exclusive rights over supply routes to U.S. bases in western Iraq, according to the Washington Post.
The Pentagon would have saved at least $180 million by choosing the lowest bidders on fuel contracts awarded to Sargeant, Waxman had calculated. The audit found that the prices paid to Sargeant were not reasonable because “no one else could transport the fuel through Jordan.”

[/quote]I don’t disagree with this, but it seems that this is exactly what the unions are – private contractors overcharging the government. Same thing, really.
