What is all this b.s. about corporate jets?

By Rod Sterling

Every time I utter what sounds like a criticism of the O
administration, somebody says "Do you think (a) Bush (b) the
Republicans would be any better?" Let's get something straight. The
Dems now control both houses and the executive branch and were 21
months from the next congressional election. It is irrelevant what
Bush or the Repubs did or would do. That is not an answer.
Right now, there is not one single elected official at federal level
that I can say I agree with and trust, republican or Democrat. My
congressman here in VA is fairly impressive - Eric Cantor - but I need
more time to make a full endorsement.

Now what is all this crap about the corporate jets? Both houses and
Obama have badmouthed the use of these jets (without bothering to
mention, btw, that Madame Pelosi spends about $5 Million a year at
taxpayer expense going from Washington to sanctuary city every week)
without any concern for the aircraft industry and how it is and will
be affected.

Our problem is not corporate jets. It's a flea on an elephant's ass.

The real problem nobody, not even Rush Limbaugh or Fox News, is
discussing. For 25 years pressures have been brought against
governments agencies at all levels to give parity to public sector
workers against private sector workers. BTW, they have more than
achieved it. They never should have allowed public workers to
unionize. It does not make sense. Unions were designed to protect
the little guy from the corporate scion who could and 100 plus years
ago did control many lives of railroad, copper mine, etc. employees.
Public workers work for the people. What the people deem, provided no
rights are being denied, is right. If the people feel the salaries in
the schools should be raised to get better quality teachers, the
school board will vote the increase.

I will say unequivocally, that WE NEVER HAD TO PAY TEACHERS, COPS,
FIREMEN, POSTAL WORKERS AND SO ON $50 PER HOUR! When you have three,
four or five job applications on file for every slot, you don't have
to raise the salary. We are paying public employees nearly double what
was necessary to fill the slots.

When I was young all those jobs paid very little but they offered
"security." People who were security minded opted for less pay. Then
came the unions who told them they can have the money and still have
the security. Ever hear of tenure? It is an evil, immoral,
counter-productive concept. The NEA might as well say: Our people
are so shallow, and so fragile that they can only function at all if
permitted to be completely complacent about their jobs. So don't ever
talk about productivity or accountability to us. We have to know that
we can't be fired unless we commit a felony.

The government was eager for the auto industry to re-write their deals
with the unions but never turned their focus on themselves, and of
course, never will..... until the collapse comes. And, if you won't
recognize the problem, you won't address it and it won't go away.
Therefore collapse is inevitable. (By the way, at my high school
reunion in October, one of my classmates who disagreed with me asked
me what my qualifications were. I told him I was not deaf, dumb,
blind or stupid. Those were my qualifications. He was a college
professor.)

To take everybody's eye off the real problem they bitch about
corporate jets. And apparently, those wall street bankers all left
their dicks in their airplanes because they sat their apologizing to
that congressman (Bradley") from California, and Maxine Waters from,
you guessed it, California. What the hell is going on there anyway?
They are either on fire, having an earthquake, sliding into the ocean
or some women is giving birth to Octuplets at government expense. and
everybody they send to Wash DC is not just a flaming marxist, but
incredibly stupid. They are up to their asses in illegals and yet
they create two "santuary" cities to keep anybody from doing anything
about it.

And while I am at it, there are certain words and phrases I would like
to see the last of:

Parity Pro-active Entitlement Tenure
"...at the end of the day...." "...what the American people
want...." "let me share something with you." If you are not
giving me half of your Hershey bar but intend to give me your opinion,
let me share something with you.

I stay out of Italian Restaurants who don't have the word "spaghetti"
on the menu.

Oh yes, here's a heads up. That malignant dwarf Reich from the
Clinton administration has been nosing around for a job. He was on
the radio last week talking about the billions to go to
infrastructure: "I'm sure the American people don't want the
infrastructure money to go to white contractors. It's time to give
that money to the long-termed unemployed, blacks and other
minorities." Yeah, let's make absolutely certain that the bridges
aren't being built by people who ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO BUILD
BRIDGES!!!!

I keep hoping that it is all a nightmare and I wake up and I'm back in
the Eisenhower administration.
