Michigan vs. Public Sector Unions

BBC News: Reports that the US State of Michigan has curtailed the power of public sector Unions, they have passed a Right to Work Law, this means that public sector workers do not have to join a Union to get a job. 

Lets Get Real:

This is good news for Michigan and for the Republicans, the more that States curtail the money that Unions get the less these Unions give to the Democratic Party, the US election cycle never ends, the Unions only have power due to the money they give to Candidates in Primary races and in the General Election.  If the Dems do not have the money they can not run good ground games, neither can the Unions.   Thus little wonder that President Obama was against this move, he is not on the ticket in the 2014 Mid Terms, and more important in 2016 the Democratic field is a open race, in less Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enters, then she is the nominee.    It was a mistake by President Obama not to make Hillary Clinton is VP for the 2nd term, then he would have influence down the line, now he wont, the next Democratic Nominee will not be VP Biden.   The Reagan legacy was helped that Bush 41 his VP won in 1988, it was seen as a Reagan third term.   That was the mistake done by POTUS, he has no horse in the 2016 field, who will be his flag carrier.
