Wow, Joe Scum getting his ass handed to him over unions/state's debts.
Edited on Wed Feb-09-11 07:30 AM by Atman
He is railing on about the unions being the cause of every financial woe facing the states -- plus SS and Medicare. Chris points out that Texas has NO UNIONS, yet is in the top five states in fiscal trouble. It's a cyclical economic downturn, not a crash due to unions who simply want the benefits for which they have a contract. Joe insisted Texas wasn't in trouble...but finally had to give and gasp in amazement when his producer whispered in his ear that TX was indeed in trouble. He was shocked...even Old Pat agreed with Chris, but Joe said it couldn't be true because he keeps hearing such great things about Texas. Totally blew the wind out of his sails, and destroyed his argument that all states' economic problems are the result of unions. Oh, and SS and Medicare.
Sorry to state the obvious, but...what a douchebag.
Joe Scum? Who is this prize idiot actually talking about, minus the overly-cryptic, and therefore pointlessly stupid, nickname?
In the second most liberal county in the USA, we are $150 million in debt/deficit this year and the solution our communist democrats came up with was to give every county employee a 6-14% raise. Our average county employee now makes $129,000/year.

I'd be down at the next county commissioners meeting so these asshats can explain that one!!!!!!! I'd bring along a couple thousand of my fellow taxpayers, too!
I'd supply the tar, someone else would have to supply the feathers, as I hate chickens!

Already phoned my supervisor who happens to be a leftist reconquistador backed by the SEIU. I rarely get calls back from his staff. Doubt I will this time. At least our paper is on it, not that it matters to our rulers.
