Reality Check

Just curious.

Why is it when statist-loving, government-providing all, no responsibility for anyone (outside of banks), everything is free nannyists, need to show that they have a clue about reality .... the surest way to do so is to stop acting like a statist-loving, government-providing all, no responsibility for anyone (outside of banks), everything is free nannyist?

Despite the chaos caused by last weekend's air-traffic controller strikes in Spain, the government's severe response has shored up the position of Spain's embattled prime minister and could give him more support in passing reforms.

Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's decision to force air-traffic controllers back to work under military authority played both to conservatives, who want to see tough reforms in areas such as labor, pension costs and the banking sector, and to Mr. Zapatero's working-class base, which sees the air-traffic controllers—who earn an average of €200,000 ($265,000) a year—as a privileged group tarnishing the reputation of organized labor.
Why not try starting from reality in the first place? It would really save us all a lot of time.
