Irony du Jour
The irony: The party of "unregulated business competition" wants to pass laws to shield them from the competition of employees having a voice in their own company or government.
The thick-headed ideologues, that are the servants of the Republican Governor's Association, want everybody else to compete in a race to the bottom, but they want laws to protect themselves from what they preach is good for others.

Oh wait, maybe that's not so much irony as it is hypocrisy. The big-government meddling they say is the problem, is what they use to further their goals.

1. I heard another one yesterday...
The party that claims that public workers have better wages and benefits than the private sector, wants to lower the wages and benefits of the employees of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Corporation, so that they are more in line with those of government workers. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

2. Irony?
I just call it greed, corruption and unmitigated gall.

3. Correct. Free Marketers have an agenda that isn't consistent with
the track talk.
