You would be making a mistake to say that President Obama is the Commander-in-Chief of this war against Conservatives and Republicans. His fingerprints are not there. All this IRS and DOJ abuse is indicative of the appointment of fellow travelers in those departments. A day after the head of the National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, …
In yet another attempt to serve up his quid pro quo to Big Labor, Thomas Perez is President Obama’s choice for Labor Secretary. But what he is really after is a Labor Union Secretary. Foisting labor unions on the 89 percent of workers who are not union members and that don’t pay forced-union dues is …
Having been caught violating the civil rights of thousands of Americans trying to assemble, contribute, and advocate a cause, the IRS scandal has been shut down.

Now they are left with ancient history, the mid twentieth century, to fall back on. And for the most part, no …

No matter what the figure you see published about the spending per student is, you can add about $1000 to that, per student, if you include teachers pensions. Regardless of whether they are funded or unfunded. Can you say …
And in the ‘you’ve got to be kidding’ department comes this from our Dept. of Labor.
