#3 The goal is not to create jobs. The goals are to create public-private partnerships and to create union membership opportunities.

Since Obama has taken office, employment in the private sector continues to tank at historic rates and yet growth in public sector employment is at a record high. (Both in numbers and rate of growth.) For the first time in history public sector employees make up over 50% of Union membership. Compare that to 2008 when union membership rate for public sector workers was at 36.8%. Increasingly state and local governments are defaulting on unsustainable union pension agreements. The rush to remove union crafted language written into their respective charters has been met with legal challenges at every turn. It doesnt take an economist to figure out this trajectory is unsustainable.
