Baltimore struggles to make weekly trash pickups with $630M budget. How’d Baltimore get here? Two things: Democrats and unions. The first thing that happened was all the Democrats got together and started electing other Democrats for mayor and other key positions. Hey – that sounds like Eugene, Oregon. The second thing was because of quid pro quo between the unions and Democrats (Democrats made things attractive for the unions, so the unions endorsed the Democrats running for various positions and convinced all their members to vote Democrat). Their votes piled on with non-union Democrats to push their favorite donkey’s ass across the line. Once unions accumulated power, they needed to hire more top-level people to manage an ever-growing workforce. Have you ever heard of featherbedding? Fast forward 20 some years, and you’ve got more union supervisors and managers than you’ve got worker bees. In short, people wearing suits and ties to work don’t drive garbage trucks or pick up trash. Multiply Baltimore thousands of times, and you’ll start to see what’s wrong with this country and why “big government” is a conservative’s kryptonite.
