Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress

There are certain laws that do prevent you from being fired for simple incompetency anymore. You have to be fired for an exact and valid reason or you can sue to company and either get due wages for time taken or get your job back. However, for teachers, teachers have too many benefits at times and they need to get a dose of reality themselves. Often there are too many poor quality teachers who don't care about teaching any longer and are there just for a paycheck or they were required to do it because the school didn't want to hire someone else (mainly coaches teaching general education classes). Again, why retain poor quality teachers when you can get good quality ones who love teaching and actually care more for the class then their paycheck.

Police too have issues as well, but often their unions work better than most as Internal Affairs often are disgruntled ex-beat cops who got bounced to a desk job for screwing up.
