They’re at it again! In order to throw money to the unions that support them, the Democrats have pushed through another in a long list of spending bills. This one is directly aimed at both the teacher’s unions and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)

This new spending bill - to the tune of 26 billion dollars - is supposedly to help those poor states that will have to lay off teachers, firefighters, and policemen if they aren’t bailed out by the taxpayers in other, more conservative, states. Baloney!

Those states have allowed the unions to seize control of them and are now paying the price for the unsustainable pensions and benefits they have promised. They should be, that is, but nope, the Dems are bailing them out, with your money.

It’s amazing, though, that the very states claiming poverty are able to budget hundreds of millions for such things as opera houses, sports facilities, the study of various species, and the arts, just to name a few.

They never give a thought to allowing the sports teams to pay for facilities, or opera patrons to fund new and improved opera houses. No, these are far too important, they say. Instead, let’s lay off a few hundred police, or a few thousand teachers.

That’s the plan - make it all about the teachers and firefighters. By doing so, ignoring the fact of wasted millions that could be cut from the budget, they allow the Democrats in Congress to come off as saviors of the public servants, and to pick up more support from the unions.

Not only do they get to appear saviors, they do it while appearing to beat up on those evil fat cat corporations by eliminating tax breaks. The bill will also cut off, in 2014, an extension of food stamp benefits. Of course they hope employment has recovered by then, or they will have to extend the benefits again.

Amazingly, all of this spending will lower the deficit – again! If they can continue to lower the deficit by wild spending, there should be no deficit within a few years.

Rest assured, this is not about teachers, firefighters, or police; this is about power. Where do they get the right to take money from states that have struggled to balance their budgets, and from their taxpayers, and give that money to states that have had no desire to do the right thing? They simply ignore the howls of protest from conservatives and do as they please.

This bailout is about the power of the unions to give money to the Democrats, and the power to garner votes. Votes keep the spenders in office, which again gives them more power to throw more money back to their supporters. It’s a vicious cycle that needs to be broken.

How can it be broken? Conservative voters coming out in droves in November and electing true Republican conservatives can break the cycle. Voters demanding their elected representatives actually represent them and their values can break it.

Not only do people need to vote, but they also need to be vocal in their support. Conservatives need to swamp their local newspapers with letters of bitter complaint about the massive debt being piled up by Democrats in the name of ‘change’.

They need to actively campaign for the candidate of their choice, and make sure everyone knows why they want Republicans back in the Congress. The only way to stop the bleeding is to stop the bitter cycle of favor for favor. Be heard, be active, and vote.
