Congress Tenaciously Determined to Bail Out Teachers Unions

By Kyle Olson

If only they were as determined to cut spending.  Alas, Congressional Democrats are hell-bent on taking care of their friends in the teachers unions. The original $23 billion “Education Jobs Fund,” or “public schools bailout,” in the words of American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, fizzled, despite earnest lobbying by both the AFT and the larger National Education Association.

The movie, which stars Meryl Streep, depicts the legendary leader and close colleague of beloved President Ronald Reagan as a dementia sufferer who looks back at her life with sadness. “Sir Mark and Carol [Thatcher’s children] are appalled at what they have learned about the film,” a friend of the family said. “They think it sounds like some Left-wing fantasy. They feel strongly about it, but will not speak publicly for fear of giving it more publicity.” Reportedly, the screenplay has scenes in it that show Thatcher talking to herself and unaware that her husband, Sir Denis Thatcher, has passed away.
