> Wow. Bit of an anti-union, anti-government agenda there? Absolutely. They are both responsible for a lot of what ails us today in the US. Government is incompetent and is only concerned with remaining in power through selling out to special interests. Unions are massively destructive of industries through, effectively, extorting pay and benefits that ultimately kill the goose. Check out what is going on in California with cities filing bankruptcy to a large extent due to ridiculous union worker pensions. No business person would pay any worker 70, 80 or 90% of their annual pay for life unless: a) union extortion by force of strikes and other activities or; b) government stuffing their own pockets and pandering to private and government unions by granting contracts, pay and benefits to government union workers that make no arithmetic sense in any universe. I have seen massive solar projects done in my town. The costs are staggering. The labor is fully unionized. The money is handed down purely through political party channels. The panels are all Chinese (so the "American Reinvestment Act" is really a "Let's shovel money to China Act". These projects are luxurious beyond belief. A couple of them covered entire school parking lots with solar cells. Another entailed the same sort of thing with the addition of refurbishing and redoing the entire electrical system of the attached government building where, maybe, two hundred people work. This building was brand-new before they started. They shoveled money into it and created something that no private enterprise would even consider building due to the, again, basic arithmetic or the deal: There is no possible way to recover the investment in our lifetime. If going construction / T.I. costs are in the order of $200 per square foot, these people (our government) probably spent $1,000 per square foot on this one project. This is down-right criminal.
