Obama Appoints SEIU’s Stern to Debt Panel [Veronique de Rugy]
Look at this chart. It shows that in 2009, for the first time ever, more public-sector employees (7.9 million) belonged to a union than did private-sector employees (7.4 million) despite there being five times more wage and salary workers in the private sector.
So now, with a union boss on the debt commission and these many public employees unionized, with 33 percent of the education industry unionized and 31 percent of union members belonging to the education industry, what do you think are the chances that the stimulus spending
on education will be made permanent?
Same question with the transportation funds.

Sounds like a fantastic idea but I hope they increase it in the process. Victor Hugo "The man who open a school closes a jail." You can continue to spend the money on cops, courts, jails, welfare, etc or you can spend it on schools. Guess what, it is not going back to your pocket either way.
