\nHere’s a must-read editorial<\/a> from National Review<\/i> on Big Labor’s Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tLacking the evolutionary finesse that keeps most parasites from killing their host organisms, the American labor movement has driven the private firms that once employed its members offshore or into bankruptcy. Consequently, the only growth market remaining for the union movement is government: More union members today are employed by government than by the private sector. The union bosses, being neither blind nor stupid, see the advantages of sitting on both sides of the negotiating table, and their influence on politics has been predictably baleful. Unfortunately for those who would curtail their influence, they enjoy a steady stream of cash, expropriated from the paychecks of their members, and a ready supply of foot soldiers available for get-out-the-vote and rent-a-mob duties. <\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s a problem for conservatives. One of the more dynamic Republican<\/span> leaders in the country, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, is battening down his political hatches for the hurricane of union abuse headed his way in response to his sober efforts to get his state\u2019s finances in order. It is going to be ugly, with the unions employing the same tactics they used to derail the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger. So why in the name of Barry Goldwater would a single Republican, much less a half-dozen senators, support extending the influence of the people who made New Jersey New Jersey? The Senate Republicans supporting the bill include not only the usual practitioners of Me-Tooism \u2014 the Maine ladies, Lisa Murkowski \u2014 but also Scott Brown of Massachusetts and New Hampshire\u2019s Judd Gregg. (What, no Lindsey<\/span> Graham?) It would be cheaper and better for the country if these Republicans would just go ahead and make a direct donation to the Democratic National Committee, an act to which supporting this bill is equivalent. If Sen. Mike Johanns really wants to turn Lincoln, Neb., into Trenton on the Prairie, let him confine his efforts to his own state and leave the other 49 to go their own way.<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
