[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1469031, member: 1294"] I agree 100% with your first statement, but I feel unions will take a big hit because let's face it some of them have acted in ways to help themselves at the expense of the public. This is not to say all unions are bad or that all union members are bad. I also think the backlash against both unions and Gov. employees will grow as thing get worse, the reason being is that many are feeling pressured by the situation our country is in and see others who ignore it, are parts of groups who are believed to have contributed to the problems and profited or enjoy the double standard but remain silent, (to keep theirs) even when made aware of criminal acts that harm the public as a whole. The issue of teachers is a perfect example, there was an AP investigative article a couple of years ago that revealed the cover ups and protections afforded to pedophile teachers in the system, (it's too long to post but I'll email it to anyone who wants it) when you add this to the fact that our schools are failing in many cases and often "Johnny can't read" when he graduates, (but he's a football star) people wonder why the "good" people in that system haven't spoken out. The public has been taught by the Gov. to recognize quilt by association in order to control, silence or oppress certain groups, I now see that turning and guilt by association being applied to others, and many feel they deserve it.
