Community Card Review - Earmarks and Unions

One of the things instituted when the Democrats took over the House of Representatives was a ban on ‘earmarks’ for profit making companies. An earmark is a special grant, law or favor for some special interest of a lawmaker that is attached to a regular bill that should be easily passed.

For instance, the House will pass a bill giving themselves free beer and hookers every weekend. An easily passed law – but then throw in an earmark that gives a big political donor a tax break, a grant of taxpayer money or a waiver from Obamacare – which everyone needs, by the way.

But Democrats and their liberal friends found ways around the ban they implemented. I guarantee the Democrats had the ‘walk around’ figured out long before they passed this useless bill to limit their cronyism, but grab a headline.

All donators to Democrats did was open a ‘non-profit’ organization – which did the same thing their ‘for profit’ outfit did. Most of these ‘non-profits’ use the same address as the ‘profit’ company does. The Democrat lawmakers then loaded every bill with ‘earmarks’ for their donors'non-profit organization. Meanwhile, Democrats stood in front of the lapdog liberal media going on how they had stopped the earmark process to "evil companies."

Meanwhile while some companies and strickly government subsidized "research" firms were happy with the Obama Regime and the Democrat Congress, teacher’s unions were not.

Obama spoke to the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (ATF) for the last two summers. This year he was no where to be found.

And the teacher's union leaders did not ask any other member of the Obama Administration or Democrat Paty memeber to show up because they knew the Democrat would be heckled off the stage – same as Obama would have been.

The head of the NEA blasted Obama saying, “Today, our members face the most anti-educator, anti-union, anti-student environment we have ever seen. This was not the ‘change’ I hoped for.”

Wow! This is not the way fellow communists talk about each other.

Even though $100 billion of the “Porkulous” money Obama printed and gave away to all union pensions went to the teachers, the teacher’s union expected a lot more than that. Federal worker unions got a lot more than their “fair” share, according to the teacher’s unions.

The NEA spent $50 million of teacher’s dues to elect Obama. They bought and paid for Obama and they want a much bigger payday than they got so far.

The Obama Regime and the liberal media is ignoring the feud. Both know the teachers have no where else they are going to go, and the union sheep will fall in line come election time.

Teachers, bend over and take it – just like the rest of the American citizens, the American dream and the American Constitution has – under Obama.
