Using Obama's rhetoric against Beshear

The Wall Street Journal's idea for saving $40 billion in the Obama bailout of states is Kentucky's idea for saving the Commonwealth $130 million a year.

It's as simple as eliminating the requirement of prevailing (union) wages for public construction projects.

In his Inaugural Address yesterday, as WSJ notes, Obama urged setting aside "worn-out dogmas" and the paper encouraged him to follow his own advice with regard to union-enforced waste.

Beshear should be told that same dogma won't hunt in Kentucky.

Solid post, Mr. Adams! Truth be told, Beshear and Obama are clinging bitterly to their sad, old ideas.
