You wouldn't think that a public school teacher could possibly be an enemy of private enterprise and fiscal responsibility, but the rank-and-file don't usually dictate policy to their union bosses. Also, political discourse has become so hostile, no large entity seems to be fighting over the middle ground, where common sense resides.
