The new conservative wave will take down many of the unions.

"Right to work" is code for "kill the liberal unions" and Mish reports today that right to work is "sweeping" the midwest. 

Unions are like liberal dems: they tell everyone how they are here to help but eventually they are just another layer of government and taxation authority with its own set of stupid rules.  Initially they seem like a good way to get companies to pay up without leaving for other work (which is the conservative way to demonstrate one's unhappiness with an employer).  But over time they just get more intrusive, more powerful and more greedy.  Pretty soon the company keels over as the parasite kills the host.  When the herd begins to see jobs dry and and not come back they begin to appreciate again those who bring them.

Interestingly enough, even those with unpaid work recognize that union-defined mandatory benefits are a threat to them right now.  For example, the L.A. actor's union is trying to make $9 an hour pay mandatory for small theaters who relay on free actor participation in order to stay open.  But the actors themselves know it will just cause their venue to shut down and so they are telling the union to stop "helping" them like this.  Of course, it shows how desperate the union is.  They need dues and thus they need their members to get paid.  If they don't get paid their is nothing for the pseudo government to take.  The actors in this case are smart enough to resist the parasite before it kills the host and there is no place to go practice their craft where they might get discovered, etc.

It's funny how many things are sooooo not as they appear.  As the prosperity wanes the truth of many non-obvious things will make itself apparent.  Fake money has the power to stand reason on its head.  Ross Perot and Ron Paul were laughed at, Barrack "liar" Obama was worshiped (almost literally) as "the one".  I got news for everyone: the coming conservative wave will make sure Obama is remembered as "the zero".
