Newt on "Occupy Wall Street"...

Ohio has a teachers union, so does Wisconsin.

Christie has "chosen" the worst possible schools in NJ, clearly the status quo is a failure in those areas and based on Newark (where it costs almost the same per year to send a kid to school as does Yale) it is probably a good idea.

But they have been badly battered by having the Republican governors remove some of their bargaining rights. Remove this, remove that, defund - and oh, we're broke, we'll have to hire a private company to run it, and we'll give all your state dollars to them.

Privatize Social Security, Medicare, keep healthcare privatized (we can see the disaster that is), privatize police, fire, EMS, schools. Get those tax dollars into the hands of corporations.

Look: the Republican Governors Association is very clear on now these govs are supposed to go about this. It's no secret. It's what the party "stands for".

Unions are a racket, especially the teachers union. Christ they got Corzine elected Gov in NJ.

I don't see a much bigger racket than trying to take my Medicare, Social Security and tax dollars and shovel them to enrich a private corporation.

But your point about Corzine is well-taken
