Re: Obama's Spending vs Obama's Spending Cuts

Hmmmmmm.... I see I'm at risk of arrest by the Dept of Wildlife for shooting fish in a barrel, so I'll cease on that part of it.

Anyone else willing to justify the union stuff that is on the record so far? BTW, given how small a percentage of the US labor force is unionized, I take exception with the union people being lumped in with "American workers" the way Obama does it. It's deliberately misleading. Besides, one point which many people never stop to think about is that forcing the U.S. consumer to pay for more union work or products actually doesn't help the consumer, it penalizes them because of the higher cost of union labor, etc. If you help unions forcing people to support them, it certainly falls on the backs of the actual "poor" and statistically larger "American worker" force because they have to pay more for products.

FWIW
