    Freeloaders in a union shop steal from working families.

    That ain't right.

    That's not an answer to the question, but I do understand the pressure to be inconsistent.

    Breaking Federal "rules" would get a hand slap, no? Its not breaking the law.

    We were emerging from a long period of rationing, price controls, regimentation and general government control that began before the war. That colored the thinking of the time. Just as our painfully long climb from recession and need to deal with robust foreign competition provides a certain level of fear and resentment for contemporary politicians to exploit.

    You might as well take the Democrats to task for their pro-slavery, anti-Central Banking 1856 platform.

    I don't think Obama really likes Hillary. In fact, I think she has been annoying to him for years. Maybe, secretly he is going to take her down and let Bernie and Elizabeth take on the Abominable Donald.

    I think expanding medicaid is fine, I say expand it to everyone. And use a more progressive tax structure to fund it.

    He's on record as saying she's "likable enough".

    So we couldn't mandate a more progressive union fee arrangement to cover employees exercising their right to not join a union?
