IN THE RECENT DEBATE OVER WHAT HAPPENED AT THE V.A. AND WHO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE MOST HAVE OVER-LOOKED THE PART THE AFGE (AMERICAN FEDERATION of GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES) MAY HAVE PLAYED. IT SEEMS NOT TO MATTER TO MANY THAT IN THE PAST THE AFGE HAS OPPOSED GIVING WHISTLE-BLOWERS PROTECTIVE STATUS. HEY, WITHOUT THEM THE DISGUSTING AND MURDEROUS PRACTICES AT THE V.A. MAY HAVE GONE WITHOUT DETECTION. AND JUST YESTERDAY SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS BLOCKED A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS THE AUTHORITY TO FIRE HIGH LEVEL UNION EMPLOYEES AT THE V.A.---SANDERS GOT MILLIONS FROM THE AFGE DURING HIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGNS. MOST OF US ARE AWARE THAT BIG PUBLIC UNIONS GIVE THE BULK OF THEIR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEMOCRATS. AND SOME OF US KNOW THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIRE A GOVERNMENT WORKER BECAUSE OF UNION CONTRACTS. OBAMA DOESN'T WANT THIS LAW CHANGED AND IS RELUCTANT TO COME DOWN ON UNION WORKERS BECAUSE OF THEIR PAST AND CONTINUING SUPPORT. SHUTTING DOWN THE ALMOST UNLIMITED POWER OF UNIONS LIKE AFGE WOULD BE A GREAT STEP IN BEGINNING TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AT THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION. CARTOON BY WILLIAN WARREN
