Am I the only one that thinks Andy Stern is screwed up???

Question

Andy Stern seems to be getting a lot of publicity lately. He was on the Colbert Report the other night, just released his book.

He makes some valid points about the problems in america, however his solutions are to unionize everything, make government agencies responsible for everything, and get us one step closer to the biggest government of all: Communism.

His proposed solutions have endless "unintended consequenses" which will create loads of economic problems which he'll want to solve by creating beaurocracy, tax systems, and unions.

Additionally his views of economics seem to be amazingly incorrect. Too many to list here.

He makes false quote (like foreign steel goes to repair American Battleships....um, we retired the Battleships), the poor getting poorer (rolls off the tongue, but the poor in america have more than they did 50 years ago), uses skewed stats, and clealy has a full fledged adgenda.

Does anyone else see right through this guy???

Answer 1

It's an "anything that attacks our government gets airtime" kind of world right now. It's amazing that for all the complainers about our current policies there are no proposed, reasonable, alternative solutions. Naysayers fill the airways with their negative propaganda concerning are currently implemented programs, yet with no proposed solutions of their own. My response to these people is that unless you have a better idea of how to fix these problems, and you should be quiet and off for the proper respects due to those who are at least trying.

Answer 2

i don't know much about him. however the poverty rate has increased since president bush took office. slow job growth continues in the private sector. i wouldn't say the poor is getting poorer, but currently the status is stablize which i refuse to brag about. The national debt has ballooned to almost 9 trillion dollars. the government has it 6th straight budget deficit. real median income, hourly rate and overall wages currently is stagnant. We have a stablized economy and this troubles me.
