Chase Peterson meets Uri Demko. Uri is a federal union representative who started out in the Russian mob--a natural transition when you think about it
Well, let's just assume two realities 1) the crime will continue until we elect political leaders man enough to do what Reagan did to the flight controllers and 2) however lofty their intentions, these employees really don't do their jobs. (Bernie Madoff was inspected every year and that oil well in the gulf is still spewing crude, despite the phalanx of EPA, BLM and OSHA employees assigned to inspect and certify.) The real polluters and the really accomplished con artists will go right on buying regulators and politicians, and the little guys -- the small businesses, the ones that employ 80% of the work force -- will be faced with an army of federal regulators who are overpaid to make it hard on the real job providers, thus squeezing out, say, the small energy provider and making it easier for BP to pollute the Gulf.
So the answer, at least temporarily, is to pay federal employees not to do anything. With the possible exception of the military, wouldn't it be nice if federal employees just punched the clock and dropped all pretense of doing anything useful for the body politic?
Well, enter Uri Demko of the "Federal Brotherhood." Uri went straight from Russian mob boss to Federal union representative, (a kind of natural transition when you think about it), and you have to at least hand it to Uri: he sees things like they are, not as the Great Society true believers think it might be. In an era when federal do-gooders want to regulate what toys your kids in their happy meals, Uri knows where his bread is buttered. As Uri puts it to crusading liberal journalist, Chase Peterson, "it's time to do a little less regulating if you want the good life to stay good."
Uri knows this at least: it's all paid for by the tax payers--and you can only whip the peasants so hard, before they stop harvesting altogether.
The Federal Brotherhood, sounds like a Religious Covenant, and it is.
