John Ransom: Unions Have Been Hogs Enough and Now They're Slaughtered If government spending was an answer, there never would have been a question to begin with. The billionaires and millionaires don’t have our money, the government unions do.

Doug Giles: Remember When Being on the Government Tit Was a Bad Thing?
