Hacktaculous

Mickey Kaus still at it at TheDC, referring us to wks.-old Internet video of Ann Coulter appearing on Hannity, advocating divide-&-conquer class warfare
Like Ann Coulter, Higgins worries that Walker isn’t doing enough to get his message across. … What would that require?
1) Pointing out the growing disparity between cushy union contracts and the working situation of average American taxpayers. Horror stories are useful here;
(The disparity between the owners & workers not even whispered.) & decrying unions, of course!
If ever there was a time to make that broader argument, it’s now–when private unions are held in lower regard than they’ve been in decades. For that, I think, we have the UAW to thank.

The argument would be: Even private 50s-style unionism isn’t so good. Unions screw up enterprises. They screw up private enterprises. They screw up public enterprises. But with private enterprises, if they screw things up too much the company usually goes broke and disappears. If unions screw up government, that doesn’t happen. The government doesn’t disappear. It just stays screwed up.
Unions! That's what's wrong w/ gov't.! Great insight, Senator Kaus.
