Raghu cites a union official who preferred the
slow bleed of Obama to the hemorrhage of Romney.
As Dr. Phil might say to that official,
"How's that going for you?" And how will Hagel go
for the dear Syrians? Pakistanis? pick a country.
Matter of fact, now that we see that Obama's health
plan will punish union-won health plans, let's ask
that question again. Now if that union official
is in the UAW or any number of other unions, the health
plans of officers have better protections than those
for the mere rank and file.
Yesterday, Raghu chastised some of us who agreed with
what Frank said about colleges by pointing out that
community colleges aren't like these and have way more
students. I wonder about this. CCs are tied to the apron
string of local corporations and see as their mission
providing employers with poorly paid workers. The presidents
of CCs make very high salaries. Naturally, there are good
teachers there, as there are in colleges and universities.
I don't think this is the thrust of the article, however.
We are all free to choose lesser-evilism. But let's not
suppose that this leads anywhere but toward more and more evil.
Right now the UAW is trying to organize workers in the South.
The workers want the very things the UAW, in rounds of lesser-evilism
going back many years, has already conceded to the employers.
