Unions are a failure by design. If they take the pay cut for their members, they look like bad guys. If they don't and let the governor fire their members, the governor looks like the bad guy. They take the path that they think makes them look good, rather than what is best for their members. Christie is a genius for exposing that strategy for what it is and possibly succeeding in producing a backlash on these "thug" union leaders.
Mitt Romney has supported everything President Obama has. I think Louis Farrakhan told his group to vote Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, it is like 60% Democrat to 30% Republican, a land slid in the democratic favor.
Gov Chris Christie from New Jersey must be a Democrat Planted as a GOP too.

WHOOAAAA....what a foulmouthed, obnoxious, arrogant buffoon! This clown's the Gov. of New Jersey? What a disgrace! I wouldnt let him pick up my garbage... Zip that nasty yapper and try to be nice for a change fat boy....and lay off the crispy creams while yer at it!
@gws35 WOW! Is THAT the most Intelligent response you could come up with???? If so, this country is in more trouble than I realized! OR maybe that is why we are?????
@brendalancaster11 When elected officials renig on their obligations and promises to hard working cops and fireman by stealing their hard earn pensions Ive got a problem with that..many worked 30+ yrs in some of the worst ghettos in the nation, making subpar wages with little thanks in the hopes of someday retiring w/a modest pension THEY EARNED ..then along comes fat boy christie stealing their pensions and spewing nasty arrogant comments after shafting these heroes..you my dear are the idiot
@gws35 "Stealing" pensions? These illiterate slobs get 70% of their last year's salaries...FOR LIFE. Where else can uneducated goons get that and relatively free health benefits for life?
I wish I had a job that gave me 3 months off with pay and all my health, benefits and retirement paid for. I honestly don't understand who these teachers think they are and why they think they are so special.
@metalkev00 Teachers dont have three months off, they are 10 month employees, every job has certain benefits that others do not, so what? This is America, nothing is stopping you from leaving the private sector and becoming a teacher, why dont just not have any benefits for teachers, not treat them as professionals and make teaching so unattractive that no one would want to pursue it as a career.
@metalkev00 Wait. Become a senator. They work even LESS than teachers and make three times the amount with three times less the productivity! They get days off like you wouldn't believe AND the personal assistants to do all the work for them! Lets give THEM merit pay! Every time their approval rating dips, we'll dock ten grand from their check!
Tax payers would be appalled at the exorbitant salaries of some so-called administrators. People with fancy titles by their name that do nothing that benefits students. (e.g. Curriculum Directors, Assessment Coordinators, Program Managers, Educational Consultants, etc.)

This guy warms my heart every time he slays a screaming union member who lives in a bubble created by their union reps, and have no idea just how incredibly much better they have it than everyone else, even those who are well educated.
Everyone, even in those with masters degrees in professional white collar jobs, pays for health benefits.
Everyone works all year. Everyone misses a raise in a tough year, if they don't lose their job!.
A choir teacher in my town makes 104.000 a year, lol
@MrRightwingextreme I respect teachers (I am doing alternate route and work in a school) but sadly I can understand why a one time pay freeze may be in the best interest of everyone.
