There are many lessons to be learned from the riots in Greece. The obvious lesson is it is much easier to hand out government largess in good times than it is to take it away in bad times. But there is another less obvious lesson that we should keep in mind as the Democrats punish oil companies and push for high speed rails.

Our freedom depends on free travel…free as in no restrictions. The unions in Greece have gone on strike. Image a majority of Americans depended on trains to get to work. The strike by train operators would effect business and individuals who were just trying to provide for the families. Trains make the people dependent on union workers.

That’s a place I hope to never be.
