Rex, management and rank and file, negotiate over the amount that the elected officials have decided to put on the table. They do it the same way in the private sector. It makes no difference whether the negotiating is taking place in the public sector or the private sector. You have a red-state attitude–so why don’t you move to a red state where you will be happy! CB is here to stay in CA!

And, of course, Rex, don’t acknowledge that you were wrong about Jerry Brown being the governor that founded CB for public employees in California.

There is NO such thing as collective “bargaining” when the trough feeders are paying off the one they are “bargaining” with. It is all a sham, which is why you like it so much seesaw, so you can rip off the poor.

Governor or not, the assembly and senate are the real criminals and most of the brilliant minds on these boards avoid that topic like the plague.

Back to the whole idea of decentralizing education. Good idea and it forces competition for bodies while upgrading the experience (err, discipline) so that we release these inmates, (err children) with some sort of self-control?

Don’t laugh, it was worth a try =D

Oh and back to vocational. You do not get any certificate or degree from vocational without graduating with a 2.60 GPA. Period. End of topic.

Brown did not create the public unions in CA! Former Republican Governor Ronald Reagan was first–he signed the Myers, Milias, Brown Act in 1968, giving CB rights to local and county public sector workers. Brown merely signed a bill extending CB rights to state workers. He can’t control them? CB is not about control–is is about negotiating.

If, through some amazing trick of fate (or intense manipulation of voting machines, courtesy of Goldman Sachs-owned Diebold Corp.) this uber-kreep actually gets elected, I can absolutely guarantee that California will be looted right down to the telephone poles. It’s how they roll….

Right now you guys get exercised over the usual partisan pablum, believing that there actually is a substantive difference between right and left. Its ‘your team’ ,part of your identity…. Well it’s time to wake the hell up and look reality in the face, and that face is the SKINHEAD BANKER CASHCARRY.

Under Governor Cashcarry the grotesque greed of Wall Street will come home to California, in a mini-IMF style takeover of the economy. It’s what they do in every country that installs a GS alumnus (Canada, Greece, UK, Italy, etc etc).

I like Kashkari’s ideas. I can’t imagine he’d be worse than Brown.

#1- I am NO fan of Clown and his policies, he created the public unions now HE canot control them.

#2- KashnKari could be much worse than Clown. Here is a guy that went into meltdown mode after he was criticized about his weight and appearance on Internet chat boards. Completely flipped out. Now, is that the kid of guy you want in ANY position of power, much less Governor>>>>>>???????

No thanks. No matter how good one thinks his vision is, he would never be able to succeed with it, he does not have the thick skin and backbone needed.

Screw the baldheaded vampire squidlet!

LOL…gotta love Matt Tiabbi!
