Cut 40/90

Insightful email received today-

There isn’t much news in the news but it is full load of propaganda to consider.

Fiscal story (TV) is being successfully framed as one of necessity for increased taxes and reduced benefits (Medicare/Caid, Social, etc).

No channels are really giving any attention to size of govt overall. You know like let’s reduce it by 40-60%.

They are framing successfully as I see it. Media Followers will soon be repeating the message.

They don’t want to give up their grip on education but will have to eventually so they can keep their pay and bennies.

The model has been set already by GM, Harley Davidson, airline and other union fights I have “witnessed”.

Old timers get to keep their pay levels and most of bennies but the new workers get neither.

Unions agree to this in their very personal interest so it isn’t about principle.

Our govt workers will do the same, we should buy them out and make em go away.

There is another historical model for industries ripe (technology) for change.

The old Buggers need to retire and get out of the way. I’ve read about it in other industries.

My reply---

F the buyout, just make them go away, strap on a fn tool belt, get on the fn roof and start setting some solar panels….

Here is the dismissal letter-----yeah, sorry, your office pushing position studying 3 toed frogs who are in danger of being over caffeinated from the energy drink plant effluent just don’t exist anymore.   Got it?   Get out.....Get to fn work, got it?  Produce a product that someone needs to buy.

It is easy to attack unions and government.   Truly they have become fat and unhappy on the backs of those bearing the brunt of the tax burden, the 20% on this country who actually work to produce something that people need to buy -- got it?   Need to buy, not want to buy.    

Indeed the write is correct though....government has gone up in nearly exact proportion to the GDP created from the productive industries that have been lost.   Saw the chart on a financial website a few weeks ago.  

Cut 40% of all Gov.    Cut 90% of all our oversea operations of all sorts.    Bring them all home and have them start building the factories that they will work in.
