The problem with our educational system stems first of all from the attitude of the students parents, dumbos raising dumbos, which is beyond the control of the state, and the quality of the those doing the educating. The latter can be fixed right now, not by paying less, but by paying much more for qualified teachers. Rather then accept the bottom 10% of the losers like we do from our colleges as teachers we need to go after the top 10%.

None of the above has anything to do with whether they’re unionized or not.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ith the 2012 presidential election already on presidential aspirants' front doorstep, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is hiking the campaign trail, stomping the path of ethanol subsidies.

Last Tuesday, the former Speaker visited the Renewable Fuels Association summit in Des Moines, touting the praises of ethanol and its progressive impact on the environment. He then tenderized the farm industry saying, “We have had a problem of farm income back to the 1890s and 1880s [and] the fact is that every time the farmers start to do well someone starts to attack them.”

A battle between Gingrich and the Wall Street Journal is now raging, as Gingrich accused the Journal of being “just plain flat intellectually wrong” about its anti-ethanol views. He then accused “big cities” and “big urban newspapers” of denying prosperity to rural America.

Gingrich, along with his ethanol hawking colleagues, have friends to repay, and promoting policies that will benefit the Corn Belt may present campaign assets for the 2012 election — for both money and votes.

But Gingrich and other “conservative” Republicans who support ethanol subsidies are risking the dreaded label of “fiscally irresponsible bureaucrat.” Currently these subsidies amount to about $6 billion annually and with the current drive for decreasing government spending, particularly among tea party supporters, pro-ethanol politicians may become heated targets.

Rasmussen poll 10% spread on most likely to vote, for the Gov. over the union.
The first two years of the Obama administration was "look, this guy is incompetent".
Second two years, Obama falls apart, and the progressives sink even further.

Newt needs to get back under the rock he came from.

This is concerted Union busting by Republican Governors. Wisconsin public workers already agreed to financial concessions. (Even though Wisconsin went into the year with a $121 million surplus, before the Governor gave away $140 million in business tax breaks to eliminate the surplus and create a deficit.)

The libtards don't care really how many teachers have to be fired due to the state deficit, as long as the teachers remaining have collective bargaining rights.

I know it sounds insane but its how unions think.

This is it. The class war being waged against the working class by the Republicans has reached a critical juncture.

You either stand together, organize, to protect you right to a living wage, and decent working conditions, or you lose both.

Solidarity Forever

Which side are you on?

That's why the top 1% just got an 800 billion dollar tax cut then, huh? That the American People have to borrow to pay for I might add.

Stuff it.

The workers always get the shaft and never get the cream when the Republicans are in charge.

This time the people have awakened. They get it. The lies won't work anymore.

They now recognize that a war has been waged against them since the 70's and they have been pushed into poverty and wage slavery.

No More!

The war is on for real now, since both sides will be fighting from now on, and there are more of us than there are of you.
