You bring up the payroll tax cut. I thought it was a terrible idea in the context where we are supposed to collect this money to help pay for the retirement of current retirees. You cannot have it both ways. Claim we have Social Security selffunded and then say we are not going to collect that program. Unds that is extremely important. Do itdmitting the way you is by borrowing more money. There are a lot of things lost in the debate. Some are born and complicated. Specific tonk it is president obama. Guest was a payroll tax cut as part of the stimulus. It happened through the payroll taxes. It did not mean money going to Social Security was reduced. Guest exactly. But that was lost in the debate.

The bart strike, now imminent after nearly a month of frustrating negotiations. That the unions say have effectively gone nowhere. We have gone backwards in the last 30 days. Union reps blame this man, tomahawk, the unions say his hardball tactics have stalled talks. He is a tool that is being paid 400,000 of our local taxpayer money to come in and bust up the union and drive down the wages of working families in the bay area. Why are the unions saying you are the reasons why they made it nowhere on the negotiations . Youd have to ask them. I did ask them. You have been unwilling to negotiate with them. That you shut them down. I dont understand that. But you know, thats their view, i guess. Why have you been such a lightning rod in these negotiations . You have to pick on somebody, right .
