Believe: Part Three (Labor Policy)

Ah statistics. Really helps me open my mind and think clearly... about what I want to blog about next. I'm glad that I am given the opportunity to learn about all of this fascinating material... like Believe In America. Here comes the Labor Policy section!

In the intro, Romney does nothing but flatter us by citing "the productivity of the American worker" and telling us that we "have been growing more efficient at a rate that sharply exceeds that of other developed countries". He finishes this pandering by telling us that unions are destroying this, and we all know the formula: Unions=Liberal=Obama=Bad. This leads us to the Obama Approach!
The theme of the six page rant on how Obama has treated the labor force is that he has expanded unions and attempted to give them more power. It is clearly written out of anger, and it shows. The writing is disjointed and does not flow from paragraph to paragraph. This anger culminated when he (or whomever wrote this for him) began to discuss the auto bailouts and how this only strengthened unions and other organized labor.
In the Romney Plan, Mitt wants to size down unions and allow workers to choose whether they want to join unions, or whether they would like to stay a non-union worker. This decision would have to be made in a private booth where no one could influence their decision. I can't believe this, but I agree with him. The amount of union tenured employees who cannot be fired without going through flaming hoops on a moped has clogged our jobs up like Dick Cheney's heart. Young workers straight out of college find it incredibly difficult to get jobs in government fields, especially teaching jobs. If unions are limited and are not a requirement for public sector employees, this would increase competitiveness and the quality of our employees.
Throughout this chapter, Romney showed off his strengths very well. He capitalized on his time as the head of Bain Capital to back up his ideas on how labor laws should be written. I give him a lot of credit for what he said in this chapter and think that his administrator background will help in his bid for President. Unfortunately, he does not posses the other necessary qualities needed to be a well-rounded candidate. I truly believe that he would do well as C.E.O of the USA, but he would struggle as POTUS. A more apt campaign goal for his is to become a part of Obama's cabinet as head of the Commerce, Labor or Treasury Departments.
