Oh my, what sharp analysis

A June 9th article in US News and World Report (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/6/9/why-the-economy-is...)
actually cited the fact that union membership is down as a good thing. The author pointed out that with union membership down, cost of living adjustments mandated in collective bargaining agreements won't be an issue in raising inflation.

Yeah... so it's good that employers aren't pressured in some fashion to compensate their emplyees in a reasonable way. Buying gas and groceries isn't a priority in the world of economics.

I'm beginning to think that the anti-intellectualism of the modern conservative movement might be a good idea, if misplaced in its targets. Perhaps a little public mockery of MBAs wouldn't be out of line. Certainly some of these people need to be called on the stupid-assed things they say every bit as much as Ward Churchill.
