Teachers’ Unions and Kids

               

The powerful teachers’ unions have a particular influence because they always have a good marketing ploy. Who wants to turn

down funding when “it’s for the kids.”

                       

But a good portion of that cost does not go to kids, it’s for teachers. And those costs can be budget-busting.

                       

How about those salaries-plus-pensions for a part-time, nine months of actual total work?

                       

The same holds for other government employees. Especially the ones who retire well before age 65, and are double dippers on  pensions. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole tweets.)
