Teabaggers, shouting out of more sides of their mouths than you might have thought they had, call on US House members to collect their paychecks but not show up for work. Oh, and fire teachers:
“We’ve heard from [Tea Party] folks asking for information in a dozen states that we are aware of from coast to coast,” said Bill Wilson, president of Americans for Limited Government, which provides studies and support material to Tea Party activists.
Wilson and his Tea Party brethren argue that states have hired far too many teachers in the last decade and that they should be downsizing the pool of teachers rather than asking for a federal bailout.
“Why is there a rush to move this bailout right now?” Wilson asked. The impact on the overall economy would be negligible…This is seen as a cynical effort to help a few larger, heavily unionized states avoid that reckoning…at a time when this Democratic leadership needs to have its unions allies pumped up before the election.”
Wilson and local Tea Party groups are urging members not to show up for the special House session or asking them to vote against the state aid package. A vote could come as early as Tuesday.
