We dont have any leaders in America right now.

Even Obama dreams of being like Reagan.

None of us know what he would have done but you can bet he would have shown up as a leader and done the right thing.
What about states rights?

The POTUS has no business interfering in this matter.

It has not stopped Obama from breaking laws to get involved in other issues.

States rights?

Obama has clearly done away with states rights with the HC bill passage by not allowing states to make the decisions.

I know he has no business in it, but the point I was making is democrats passed the law under Carter that stopped the feds from getting involved and this is why you do not see Obama and his band of thugs in the middle of this.
They cannot, it would be against the law for them to get involved.

You know Obama is banging his head against the wall on this as his massive donors from the unions are probably knocking down his door asking for help from the dictator himself.

“The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. Yes, public workers may demand fair treatment, but, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the public sector. A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

WHY DO LIBERALS think it is OK to force all Americans to buy INSURANCE for health care. But do not think teachers should have to pay for their own benefits?

I doubt the kind of teachers we have now would not be there in the first place if Regan was still around.

Please provide a link or two showing where teachers don't pay for health benefits.
You can find one, can't you?
Remember, you're saying that teachers don't pay into their own health care.

Well...


What finer example of political inbreeding could you possibly hope to see?


Sure would be nice if I could pass laws that directly benefit the people who do favors for me while someone else has to pay for it.
