Really?

You have got to love the utter hypocrisy in this bullshit--for a group of people who resent the government at every turn, they sure do seem to love giving unlimited power to it when it suits their purposes. For those not familiar, here in Michigan Gov. Snyder has decided to take the Scott Walker option on unions by doing an end around. Rather than outright strip their collective bargaining rights, Snyder wants (and will probably get from the middle class hating republican majority in our Michigan legislature) a revamped emergency financial manager law, i.e., giving the person appointed to oversee a failing municipality the right to break collective bargaining agreements if the appointee feels they are a detriment to the solvency of said muncipality. The News wants us to believe the unions protesting the law are protesting too much and that this would almost never happen. What the mother fucking fuck? How stupid do these people think we are? But, really, I'd be in favor of this as long as it also gave the appointee the power to decide that businesses not being taxed enough could have their taxes increased in distressed municipalities if it would add to their future solvency, and if such appointees could also end corporate welfare if they felt it was a detriment to the state's future solvency. My guess is The Detroit News would have zero respect for this completely fair addition to the law, and as a result, are little more than another in a long line of conservative hypocrites when it comes to their complaints about government overreach. They can also go fuck themselves. Peace, emaycee
