The White House and Wisconsin
It’s all about union reelection money for 2012. Also: Huckabee. Countywide.
A BINDING CONTRACT
The White House has been watching the Wisconsin state employee
labor fight with a degree of alarm, says a White House aide: “I
think all of us recognize what this could mean for us in the
re-election fight,” says the aide. “Without well financed labor,
we’re screwed.”
For several weeks, now, the Obama Administration, with staff from the Labor Department and Department of Education, among others, have been setting up working groups to examine how, if at all, they could block or reverse in some way state-based rules and laws that would draw back labor unions’ abilities to collect chunks of member pay for political purposes on the state and national level.
In fact, some political advisers to President Barack Obama have been speaking with senior national labor officials about the roles they might play in the re-election bid. Says the aide: “One way to strengthen labor’s position and get them politically engaged for us is through contract negotiations, and there are several, large contracts coming due in 2011 and 2012. Corporations may think they can push these unions around because of the economic situation, but we’re looking for ways to ensure that if organized labor wants to fight, they will be able to fight. That can only help us politically.”
HUCK STIR
A number of
California conservatives have been noting an uptick in direct mail
fundraising from former Arkansas diet guru and Gov. Mike
Huckabee. “I’ve received at least three different
fundraising appeals from him in the past few weeks, and not a one
from anyone else,” said one. Some are interpreting the increased
activity as a run-up to a Huckabee decision to run for president
again after his failure in 2008, and Huckabee has been active, with
plans to visit Iowa in the near future.
COUNTRYWIDE CRONIES
Word that federal prosecutors have dropped a criminal
investigation into
Angelo R. Mozilo, the former CEO of
Countrywide Financial, which was alleged to have
given senior government officials, such as former Sen.
Chris Dodd, and other influential Democrats in
Washington sweetheart mortgage loans, shouldn’t
make Washington insiders breathe any easier.
Word is that even if the criminal probe is shut down, at least two different Congressional committees want to keep the investigation alive, and one, the House Financial Services Committee, may want to bring back several of those current and former government officials to testify on how it was they got their deals from an institution that is now part of Bank of America.

What is breathtaking is the degree of abuse of the Obama Administration. He has his own political arm, which has injected itself squarely into a matter of one state's politics (Wisconsin). A President is President for all, not just for his constituents. What the President is doing is no different than what Mussolini did in 1922. It isn't the party running things in Madison, but the man in the White House. He now has his own Blackshirts; and in many cases they are state of federal employees.

You betcha! and I say "WITH well financed labor, we are ALL screwed!"

- Trailer Park Lessons -
I'm not trying to play the poor me card here, but the mid to late 1950's left me a few not-so-upscale-memories of living with my mom and dad in some really small trailers situated within those bare bones places regular folks called ... trailer parks. Sometimes our little moble casa was balanced only on two wheels and a short steel pole attached to the bottom of a hitch that kept it from tilting forward. Now when I say trailer park, I'm not refering to what today is generally called a moble home village. You know the type of moble homes I'm talking about. Some of these newer, larger units are actually pretty nice and in many cases can be considered small houses or even manufactured homes. However, for families living just below the financial Mendoza line of the '50s, the kind of trailers we occasionally lived in were of the type and size you could back a pickup truck to, hook it up, then pull out and haul it down the road to the next park, providing you could find a space with a bargain rent. We're talking -- actual traveling trailers here.
A few of those parks didn't even provide indoor plumbing access with your space. I recall one year, a visit to the bathroom or to take a shower required a short walk down a weed sprouted, asphalt path and into what would probably be considered today a row of upgraded port-a-potties. The shower "facility" was simply a few shower heads at the end of a pipe surrounded by 3 plywood type boards, a top cover and a basic wooden door with a simple slide latch to keep it closed when in use. Of course you always knew when it was in use because (a) you could hear the water running and (b) see the feet and ankles of the person using that shower as those 3 plywood boards and door covering the shower stall didn't reach the floor. There was about 10 inches of space exposed so that someone coming in could kneel down a make sure there was no one inside ready to turn on the water.
Yep, that was '50s life in a low tech-residential trailer park. Today, some might call it a campground. But back then, we and a few neighbors called it home.
Bill Clinton's former political consultant, James Carville, once implied that people like my folks and me might be ... trailer park trash. I guess it was easy to spit out vindictive lables like that when Bubba and Hillary needed a boost in approval ratings among their liberal elites. That, and due to better circumstance, probably never had to live in one of those places. But then, sometimes circumstance and limited income forced you and yours to make do and just do what you had to do in order to make the ends meet. Back in the day,it was ingrained in me that taking welfare, expecting government handouts or getting a boost from someone other than immediate family was usually a last resort and not considered an entitlement. Accepting it would have been embarrasing. Sadly, the mind-set of self sufficiency desolved itself a long, long time ago. And today, the entitlement mentality is too often the first rule of resort - not the last.
As I became a bit older, Mom managed to work us up a little higher up on the real world food chain. I'll always remember that little student desk we had in the kitchen. That's where she kept 4 or 5 monthly budget envelopes. They were usually labled rent/ food/ utilities/ phone or misc. When payday came around, she'd cash her check, bring it home and stuff those envelopes. You might ask - "Why didn't she just put it in the bank? That'd be the safer thing to do." Well, back then, and still today, in order to have a basic checking account, the local B of A and others required a specific amount be kept in the account otherwise they'd ding you with a monthly fee or drop you altogether. Generally, in Mom's case and after the bills, there wasn't enough left over to cover those ding fees for going below the limit. But somehow she always managed to keep us on course, cover the nut most months, yet still manage to find a few spare sheckles for ... a few extras. It's called many things: living within your means, don't spend more than you have or if you have to ask, you can't afford it. It's a simple rule and one I try and live by today. Unfortunately, it seems that kind of bottom line thinking has become lost on many among this current generation of working Americans, especially several thousand of those Americans working on the taxpayer's dime in Wisconsin, U.S.A.
For those who don't have time to follow this stuff, the state of Wisconsin, like the states of Ohio, New York, and California, to name a few, are busted, in the hole, ka-put. For the slang speaking among us -- El Brokeo. Either way you phrase it, these states and others across the fruited plane have finally reached and over-extended their cash flows, collections and budgets way beyond that financial Mendoza line my folks lived under in the '50s. Going back to some earlier mentioned basics, for too many decades, these states spent and handed out way more than they took in. Or as President Obama's former spiritual advisor, the Reverand Jeremiah Wright, said: "The chickens have come home to roost." He was right. And today, they be roostin' big time.
Reading from the *Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal, I came across a few facts that may drown down a little of the mob hysteria. Or at least for those looking in. In a nutshell, the new governor of Packerville made good on a campaign promise and announced (again) that the state of Wisconsin's cookie jar was empty and there were no more extra cookies to be handed out to state employees. At least not without some adjustments to the next grocery list. As we speak, they're standing in a 3.6 billion dollar defict hole. Governor Scott Walker and the new Republican majority are asking their state's government workers (teachers, bus drivers and other taxpayer funded employees) to give a little. There's a lot of bottom line minutia here, but basically the governor is proposing that state and public employees will cease being able to negoiate over anything other than ... wages. And the result of those new negotiations would be linked to the Consumer Price Index. The proposal also asks that all workers pay half the cost of their pensions and at least 12.6% of their healthcare premiums. When all is calculated, state employee costs would increase by an average of 8%. Right now, they pay nothing. The other issue is this: Unions could still represent their workers but could no longer force them to pay dues and would have to hold annual votes to stay organized. Thing is, the workers and their unions don't want to give up the semi-rigged leverage they've enjoyed for many decades. Neither does anyone residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
When I first began reading and running the numbers, I, too, thought that asking state workers to hand back 12% toward their healthcare premiums was kind of stiff. On the surface, it sounded so. Then I whipped out my handy dandy Radio Shack caculator and ran some additional numbers. Turns out I pay around 14% a year toward my own healthcare needs. I'm not up on the new math, but that's a bit more than the 12%-plus the state of Wisconsin's asking for. Me? I'm just happy to be able to provide for my-own-self in these so-called golden years. At this point, I don't have the benefit of automatically debiting the taxpayer for any manditory cost of living increases or upward adjustments in my benefits. Matter of fact, as a one of those grizzled seniors livin' large on Social Security and a moderate savings account, I haven't had one of those cost of living adjusts in the past two years and may not have one next year in spite of what the administration says about current "non-inflation" levels and the (alleged) minimal increases to the cost of living in the real world. Anyone buying gasoline every few days know what a pant-load that is. But at the end of each month, quarter and year I refer back to one of those earlier rules of thumb my ol' Mom drilled into me: "Try to make do and ... just do what you can."
One of the major road blocks to fiscal sanity in Wisconsin and other states is that in several cases, wage and benefit negoiations with the state are, as I said earlier -- semi-rigged. In the cheese state, for example, state employees don't actually negoiate directly with their elected officials on each contract for those increases in benefit packages. Those negoiations are done directly with (here it comes) their unions. It's kind of like reaching into a cookie jar, then asking yourself - "Would you like to take two? Sure, go ahead. Ahh, make it three." In the meantime, those elected politicians who accepted union campaign cash each cycle by way of that funnel called membership dues, end up in the hip pocket of those very union leaders. When the final election votes are counted, and the bought and paid for fannies are seated, the selected/elected are then beholden to most anything negoiated down the road. If (said) politican hedges or even refuses a major request, the flow of campaign cash is cut off next time an election rolls around. Like I said, it's a semi-rigged process. Again, what the governor is asking: "When it comes to pension and healthcare funding, you need to negoiate with us directly to see if the state can afford your request. What it is, is basic budgetary math. It also slips into a quality quote former Prime Minister of England, Margret Thatcher once made: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." And so it is with the states.
Could be just me, but I suspect the taxpayers already got the memo.
I have no idea how this foot stomping in Wisconsin will turn out. To be fair, most government workers are decent folks, just trying to make a buck and a good living. But if you look deeper into what they make as opposed to what the state takes in from Joe Taxpayer to fund their packages, these protests you see in Wisconsin and soon Ohio and California are being directed against, not the governors or legislatures ... but you the taxpayer who always end up paying the freight. Remember, grasshoppers: It's not so much the wages at issue as it is the billions of dollars in unfunded mandates (pensions and lifetime healthcare benefits) that are snuffing the golden goose.
For now, it might be a good time to hide your wallet.

As if anybody doubted barry the muslim's mental processes. He will do anything, including destroying our country to get re-elected so he can continue that destructive process for four more years. He sees the resistance to his 'thugocracy' as a serious threat, a threat to be smashed at any cost. He hates you and I, and is so deep in bed with the unions that he cannot afford to let the rule of law prevail.
We need to impeach the imposter now, before he has so surrounded himself with union thugs and lawyers that he's untouchable. As one of the wise posters calls himself (Herself?) here at TAS; "IMPEACH NOW"! Before it's too late.

MikeD| 2.21.11 @ 4:23PM
JOHN!
You made my day! I just love getting some troll to call me names; however, if you wanted to be more specific, you'd call me a "religious bigot". Calling someone a muslim does not rise to the level of 'pulling the race card' unless you're REALLY stupid; which you might be, based on your colorful language and evident lack of intelligence shown by your post.
Barry the muslim has had every chance to refute the idea that he is a muslim, non-citizen, kenyan, non-college graduate as evidenced by his apparent lack of a birth certificate, a college diploma, a law school diploma, and an American passport. Actually, I would not even be out of line if I said he never got out of elementary school since he has also refused to provide any proof of even THAT modest academic achievement. But, I don't think you'd understand any of that based on your evident lack of education and lower intelligence quotient.
Have a nice day!
Michael Tomlinson| 2.21.11 @ 9:02AM
The Huckster is at it again. Maybe this time he'll explain how raising taxes and spending like a Democrat is "conservative." Who knows he may even have the integrity to explain why he tried to steal the furniture from the Arkansas Governor's mansion.
If enough misguided conservatives help nominate this one time diet "guru" whose girth is growing as big as his inflated ego Obama is a shoe-in for reelection. Much like the nightmare scenario of a Earmarks "Porker" Ron Paul nomination.
Speaking of Obama lets not forget after his reelection Huckabee rallied to him and chided the right that it should play nice with Obama and support him as our President (gag). Talk about spineless and two-faced when this religious bigot treated one of his on so shabbily in the primaries with his religion baiting.

Well said. A pretender and I strongly suspect he's another secret society member posing as a regualr evangelical. It's too bad that so many well-intentioned evangelicals are and will continue to be fooled by these types. I've read that up to 20% of Southern Baptist monisters are secret society members. Tough to put % on this but I'm not the only one who sees the problems facing the church that are largely unspoken and largely ignored or unknown to the congrgants of these infiltrated churches.
And a by-product of a Huckabee or Huchabee-type will be Bush III and that includes tons more of illegal immigration for America to say the least.
BackToBasics| 2.22.11 @ 3:07AM
typo - Baptist ministers
BackToBasics| 2.22.11 @ 3:17AM
Remember, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore were Southern Baptists. I plead with the good evangelicals to not be fooled again!!! Don't vote for this guy! And one thing that seems to go along with being a pretender is also being mushy. He will prove to be a pushover for Dems and he will not be the strong conservative leader we desperately need in 2012.

It's not. Even in a bastion of liberalism the republicans cleaned up in November; and Walker is doing quite well in the polls, thank you. It seems that eventually even the mental deficiency of liberalism gives way to anger and passion when dems are yanking every dollar out of their wallets and laughing at them for giving them the opportunity.
MikeN| 2.21.11 @ 11:07AM
I"d give Huckabee a hearing if, after losing the nomination in 2008, he had run for Senate and taken that seat from Pryor. At the least he drains resources from the Democrats and helps another Republican lke Coleman or Smith across the finish line, denying Democrats the 60 votes they needed.
Spoonman| 2.21.11 @ 11:12AM
Under no circumstance should oblama be sticking his nose into the situation in Wisconsin - Bush would never have done it. This is a issue which arose locally and which must be solved locally. oblama is only sticking his nose in so that he can try to shore up his liberal base and ensure a steady stream of union donations for his reelection bid.
martin j smith| 2.21.11 @ 12:03PM
Obama has made a major tactical error in getting involved at all and specifically siding with the Unions.
It show exactly what the relationship is between Obama, the Socialist democrat Party and -- not all the membership but the Union Leadership and the organization. And its all against the taxpayer--voter. Bad move which should be used politically against Obama et al.
MacDaddy| 2.21.11 @ 12:15PM
Ummmm. Just asking, but isn't there something illegal about employees of the government working on the re-election campaign? And, if in fact government officials in the administration are crafting POLICY with the direct and stated purpose of raising funds for the re-election campaing, is that not illegal since de facto they are working on the campaign? Anybody care to clear up my thinking on this? Does it rise to an impeachable offense?
Sam Levi| 2.21.11 @ 2:00PM
My comments are directed at John as TAS won't let me reply in thread. John, the only moronic statement in this article or its responses were yours. Every time someone criticizes Obozo the Foreign Born Muslim, you spout unbridled hatred and call them a racist. You abjure Israel and Jews at every turn. Let me try to explain this so that even you cannot fail to understand. We hate Oozo because....wait for it....HE HATES US, IDIOT! Obama has proven this time and again. We don't care what color his skin is, he didn't choose that. Being Islamic or Muslim is NOT RACIAL, it is a choice. You can choose to be Muslim, you can choose not to be. He chose poorly. He tries to destroy this country at every turn, and if we let him, he will. Now, you can try to learn something, which I sincerely doubt your are capable, or you can try to say something intelligent, again with the doubt. Personally, I wish you'd just shut up; but, because Barry hasn't been able to kill the Constitution completely, you have the right to be an ingnorant ass and publicly prove it at every opportunity.
John| 2.21.11 @ 3:55PM
Mr Levi
Firstly Obama is not a Muslim. he worships at a church and has a pastor. Doesn't that tell you something about his religious affiliation. it would be fantastic if he was a Muslim but he's not. the word Muslim was used as a derogatory adjective. Thats plain warped prejudiced. I've never said anything but positive things about Jewish people. I am opposed to Zionism. But that is not a religion its a political idea. Isreal by its policies isolates itself from thecivilised world. US tax dollars should not be used to support isreali terrorism. this is a policy supported by many Jewish people inside and out of . nobody has to like islam Muslims but the pathological hatred shown regularly on this website towards Muslims borders on an encourages genocide.
MikeD| 2.21.11 @ 4:33PM
John,
You can't even pretend to be smart without betraying your ignorance. First, one usually capitalizes the first words in sentences. Second, the word "Genocide" is based on the root "Gen", which means those of the same genetic basis, like caucasian or negroid. Contrary to your rant, the word "race' that you are so fond of tossing around is a null term because we are all one race, hominoids, or Humans. Any subdivision is cultural and regional evolutionary accomodation.
Third, by his own admission, obama was born and raised muslim, and has been recorded on tape confirming his adherance to islam. But, you seem to be determined to make yourself look foolish by not doing your homework. The people that post here are generally very intelligent, educated, and well informed; that is, except the occasional liberal 'plant' who wanders in, vents and sputters, and leaves with his/her tail between his/her legs. Start waggin' on your way out.
John| 2.21.11 @ 5:46PM
He worships at a christain church. The clues in the words 'christain' 'church'. the fact that that some people don't accept such clear evidence says everything that you need to know about them. Fruit cakes with extra fruit. thanks for the discussion on race. all I will say that the words Muslim Islam are used by many to communicate hate. they hide under the lame excuse that its a religion but their aim is hate. With regards to Obama its obvious to me that many on the right of America don't like a black man as president. Of course they can't mention that in polite circles so they use utter bulshit regarding his birth and supposed religious background to attack him. I think I'd have more respect for you guys if you just admitted you don't like him because of his race. have the courage of your convictions. Go on.
MikeD| 2.21.11 @ 8:36PM
Listen carefully: You cannot expect to be taken seriously if you don't spell words correctly (Christain?) and verify your facts. You also instantly gave in to the primeval need to play the race card as soon as you found yourself over your head intellectually. It's ok, not everybody is smart, as you are so elequently proving.
Since you felt your need to pull out the race card, I'll tell you specifically WHY I despise Barack Obama. Now, pay attention, because you will not see any reference to race. He may not act it, or even deserve the admission, but he apparently is human.
1. He is a liar. He promised 'transparancy' during the campaign and has presided over the most secretive administration in history.
2. He is a socialist without the conviction to say it.
3. He is a hypocrite; saying one thing and doing another. He really thinks he's better than the rest of us.
4. He's not very bright and cannot speak clearly without a teleprompter; even to fifth graders.
5. He's an elitist who really thinks he's better than the rest of us.
6. He specifically referred to his 'Muslim Faith' on several occasions that are easily available on video tape.
7. He refuses to tell us anything about himself. WHAT IS HE HIDING?
If any republican did that the dems and their buddies in the media would be all over him. He is a liar about the whole disproven global warming scam. It is a scam, and he is sneaking around to implement regulations for the sole reason that his buddies will get rich on cap and trade.
8. He is proactively destroying our economy by destroying our sources of energy. He is so stupid he has no idea where energy comes from.
9. He's a fool, and the leaders of most other nations think he's a real jackass. The U.S. is no longer respected...or feared. This state of affairs is exactly what he wants because he was raised by a Kenyan muslim and an America hating radical lefty mother. He knows nothing of our history and traditions because he was not raised in the U.S. He is a disgrace and unqualified to be dog catcher, much less president. He refuses to disclose where more than $300 MILLION in campaign funds came from. if a republican did that the dems and the media would be screaming impeachment! Are all these reasons sufficient?
Now, go back to Sesame street and your oatmeal. I'm tiring of your antics.
DieFledermaus| 2.21.11 @ 7:39PM
MikeD,
Don't forget that Barry, before the 2008 election, alluded to his "muslim faith" in answering a question on This Week with Boy George Stepalloverus.
Georgie-boy QUICKLY jumps in and says, "christian faith".
Freudian slips tell the truth. BTW, has anyone seen Barry live when it's call to prayer time?

Guarantee you if the election was held today with Obama pitted against Palin, Obama loses Wisconsin and Washington state for starters.
