GOP Ruling Class still doesn't get it

Arrogant seniority-driven Old Bulls on display
Election’s Repudiation of Washington Demands New Blood, Not Waivers for Old Bulls

WASHINGTON – Club for Growth President Chris Chocola made the following statement about the House Republican Conference’s coming decisions about selecting committee chairmen for the 112th Congress:

“Despite promising signs that the new House Republican leadership understands the public’s desire for change and reform in Washington, rumors are circulating that they may waive term-limit rules to allow former committee chairmen to return to their posts. This would be a mistake.

“Term limits exist to prevent individual members from centralizing power and undermining the principles of republican government and the Republican Party. Waiving the limits and breaking their own rules before the new Congress is even sworn in will send a clear and depressing signal that House Republicans still don’t ‘get it.’”

God Bless Collective Bargaining

'Unsustainability' makes BigGov bigger
Dick Morris has picked up on a theme Education Action Group has been trumpeting for months: public employee union contracts, including school employee contracts, are unsustainable and have several states on the verge of fiscal collapse.

Recently on Fox News, Morris suggested California, Michigan, Illinois, New York, and Connecticut are the top five most likely to default, given the severity of their situation and the unlikelihood of the Feds or bond holders coming to the rescue.

“Education Action Group has been way ahead of the curve on this,” Morris told me. “EAG has been showing the major spending problems, stemming from outrageous contracts, for quite some time.”

Buffalo Public Schools revealed recently that it spent $9 million last year alone on elective surgery for employees. Coverage for such an extravagance, by its very nature taking funds away from the education of children, was due to the collective bargaining agreement.
