The Albuquerque Journal just can't help itself. Today they let a bloviating finance professor blame the working men and women of America for its decaying infrastructure. Unions are the problem, along with environmental regulations, which adds up to high costs for repairing our nations highways, bridges and other systems that have been ignored in favor of weapons programs and wars. Let me think, how does a $250 million dollar fighter bomber jet produced by union labor in the defense industry differ from a $8 million bridge rebuild? I guess I am not smart enough to figure it out.
This guy also said that the multibillion dollar projects that are being done in big cities are to costly. But he seems to forget that all of that money goes to large engineering and construction firms that are constantly overrunning their estimates and ripping off the taxpayers. (Same as the defense industry.) Well, after all, the honchos in these groups are part of that 1% we all hear about.
I have been predicting for some time now that our daily right wing newspaper, which is in very deep financial trouble, may end up just publishing three times a week. Or perhaps they will just become an online newspaper. At least then the frequency of their rightwing editorial pages will be lessened.
So far they haven't quite fallen to the level of local TV newscasts. Their daily lineup now consists of private security or smartphone video of some sort that is hardly newsworthy. If Channel 13 shows the video of the fight on a bus again with a cop getting tasered, I will never watch them again. Ever.

The Albuquerque Journal is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Republican Party and is prepping the citizens and the elected State representatives to make this a Right to Work (for Less) state.
