Lost tribe of Westwood

Why is our educational system failing?

Here is Michigan, our Governor has quickly figured out how to play the political system. He has done it so well, that he is in a no lose situation. (Winning?)

It is very simple. Squeeze the school system and one of two things will happen.
1- A better educated work force creates higher paying jobs for the low and middle class. Taxing these dollars keeps the money flowing
2- A failed education system combined with a non working union, creates a separation in the work force. The unions forced big business to outsource to make a profit. With the unions out of the way, big business can bring back those low paying jobs and tax the new influx of cash (winning).

Big business loves win win situations. We will now go back to the days before unions had their input, and before government interfered. 100 years ago, the Triangle fire in New York City. Hundred of women and men died due to poor working conditions and unsafe labor practices. This helped force work place reforms and started the labor union. This is why a union is needed.

The unions then turned around and made a mockery of their new found power. Outrageous wages for little or no work. Instead of a fair working wage, they dug in for all the money they could get and did not re invest into the working class and help build the education of the labor force. They took the money and ran. When big business said enough is enough, they outsourced their work to other countries to maintain their profit. Instead of a more educated and balanced work force, we are where we are today.

I have to laugh when one party points it's finger at the other party. Both parties are winning, and there are no losers there. (winning)

The president has jumped on the bandwagon. Another war brings in more profit for big business. He is hoping to jump start the economy like the Republicans did, a war around the globe. We have to save democracy around the world.

It's politics folks. The politic of making money. The politic of greed. It's the elephant vs the jack ass. Both are very dumb....or are they?
