Public Sector Unions Now Have A Bullseye On Them

The outrageous benefit plans that the public sector is enjoying - along with being overpaid is becoming the number one target in many of the campaigns for governor around the country.  I have been on record stating that all (excluding the military) public sector jobs are nothing more than a burden on the taxpaying society.  I would be hard pressed to find something the private sector can't do better and cheaper than the public sector can.

I don't even want to get into the argument over teachers pay and benefits.  Look at Milwaukee and Detroit schools for their 25% graduation rate - why shouldn't the teacher's pay be based on performance?  If they worked in the private sector they wouldn't even be employed.
Pawlenty (governor of Minnesota) waited out a 44 day bus driver strike by letting the public know that a union bus driver was eligible for full life time benefits and pension after only 15 years on the job.  I shouldn't have to tell you that taxpayers foot that bill.
It is time to put the screws to the public sector and rein them in.  It is about time people start making a wage equivalent to the work they do!!
