The Left Knows

Smart leftists know that their policies will cause various economic damage, even though they seek to hide that fact in public debate.

Andy Stein, who resigned this week as head of Service Employees International Union, was Barack Obama's biggest supporter in the 2008 presidential election. Stein has the SEIU contribute $85 million to help Obama and the Democrats win in 2008.

As quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Stein once said: "Western Europe, as much as we used to make fun of it, has made different trade-offs which may have ended with a little more unemployment but a lot more equality."

Funny how Barack Obama didn't make that idea part of his 2008 campaign.
