Made in China

Take a look –

 

So, we, the US of A, has over 4 million people working for our federal government – in vast unmanageable bureaucracies earning more than Americans in private sector jobs along with much better benefits and much, much better pensions.

Heaven forbid that we would criticize them; suggest they pursue some new ideas; some new technologies; some new leaders; perhaps a few from Silicon valley.  Oh no, don’t do that – it will violate some public employee union contract – you know – workers rights and all that.  Don’t want to irritate some union clowns from AFGE or AFSCME;  SEIU or AFL-CIO.  Sure don’t want to try something new at AFT or NEA.  After all, as we all know, they need more money to feed the bureaucracy – that’s the way to compete; to improve.

Let’s have more unions; more bureaucrats; more old congressmen and women; more aged senators; more presidential candidates who are more concerned with polling and acquiring votes and blustering their way around the globe with silly rhetoric while others innovate and build.  In America, we build bureaucracies and, of course, more special interest groups spending billions lobbying for more of the same old – same old.

Do we even know what others are building?  Or making?  Do our millions of bureaucrats; in their well secured buildings; enjoying their rich paychecks and full benefits and looking forward to their big pension checks know what anyone is making or building or designing or pondering in China?  Or anywhere?
