Quote http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah05nEAkEo4 AFL-CIO president had a message for leftist activists today in Washington, D.C.: "We’ll make government create jobs, because government action is the only way to create jobs right now." "You see, we got a long way to go, and the road will be rocky, and it’ll be rough, and we’ll fall down, and we’ll get up, and we’ll keep marching and rallying and fighting," Trumka said. "When we call for jobs, they’ll say, ‘government can’t create jobs.’ And we’ll say, ‘Just you watch.’ We’ll make government create jobs, because government action is the only way to create jobs right now Title: Re: Trumka Bellows: 'Government Action Is the Only Way to Create Jobs Right Now' Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 04, 2011, 10:12:57 PM I can only assume that this man is not stupid enough to actually believe that the government creating make work jobs is the way out of this mess. Therefore I can only conclude that he is a liar, if not an idiot. But he might be both. The thing that infuriates me is that he is selling this crap to folks who don't know any better and they actually believe him. This country has been taken advantage of by the snake oil peddlers, power brokers, and crooked politicians to the point where we are on the brink of collapse. We need a leader who can speak on a level that the common man can understand, who is pure in heart, is in it to serve the country and make it a better place, and can eloquently explain to the regular folks why all of this BS that sounds helpful is actually designed to only give the big wigs bigger wigs.

I was a member of the UMW local 1867 when Trumka was elected. He is a shady figure with a checkerd history at best. He had many dealings with other union reps that went to prison. |
