The problem is the waste and the thug unions that pay drivers in excess of 100 grand a year.

I am thinking there are less people that can do my job than the metro driver who has no skills and no education beyond high school that pushes a lever to stop and go. Is that really worth $150,000 a year? Most of the attorneys working for the government in DC don't make that much.
This isn't about a living wage these guys are making plenty considering how easily replaceable they are.
Hey baron I have an idea. You could be the lawyer for the metro union. I bet those metro drivers would love for you to be their lawyer, you just gave them a $50,000.00 raise in just two posts.

If you read the article you would see that at least two of the drivers earned in excess of 150,000 and that was a couple of years ago.

Could I wager a bet? I would wager that those who are so supportive of Obama would also likely fall within those who are deemed to be "liberal" Apostolics. As in, not just liberal inpolitics, but liberal in church. Would that be a safe bet?
Perhaps the mental disease that is liberalism spreads to every facet of life.

Wrong. You will find I am liberal when it comes to Apostolics but very conservative/Libertarian in my politics. Limited government in both spheres. I don't need a government dictating my life and I don't need a dictator at church either.
