Mass Cuts Collective Bargaining, Obama Silent

Today, President Obama released his birth certificate which proved what most people already thought: Obama was born in Hawaii.

So while Obama may have silenced a few critics, like Trump, he has also been silent himself on the decision by the Massachusetts legislature to end the collective bargaining rights of unions. 

The SEIU, ACLU, AFSCME, and UAW went nuts on Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin when he and the GOP ruled legislature moved to do the same thing as Massachusetts is now doing.  Obama called it an assault on unions.  Will he now accuse the legislature of Massachusetts of a similar assault?  I doubt it.

The fact is, governments across the nation are drowning in debt and the President of the United States is oblivious to the very real crisis of  America facing collapse under its burden of debt.

The MA legislature, run by Democrats, "voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns." 

The vote wasn't even close, it was 111-42.  Even a few state Democrats, who lack the federal power to print money as Obama possesses, are realizing that lavish state wages, benefits, and pensions are breaching the hull of the ship that is America.

The Keynesian redux that Obama and the Democrats have subjected America to is causing a listing ship to be weakened further.  Every new regulation, law, tax, bureaucrat, fee, and penalty added by the government  sucks life out of the private sector where wealth is created and jobs are born.  Until America starts making life easier for business, the economy will not improve and families and individuals stuck in unemployment and government dependence will suffer.

Thanks for nothing Mr. President.  Your birth certificate is making life any better for the average American.
