Why? Not because it’s some sort of national Republican conspiracy, Chris Christie explained on the Today show this morning. Christie points out that newly-elected Democratic governors like Jerry Brown in California and Andrew Cuomo in New York are having to face the reality of enormous budget shortfalls created by ridiculous pension obligations and spineless politicians who couldn’t say no to unions when it counted. Christie misses an opportunity to explain why confronting public-sector costs has become mainly (but not exclusively) a GOP effort, however. The reason why Republicans have been more aggressive in dealing with the problem is because more Republicans got elected to lead the states in 2010, both as executives and in control of legislatures, by voters who finally realize that their states are teetering on the abyss of bankruptcy and failure:
Rhode Island's governor is a Democrat and he is facing the same budget problems. Government is broke, and everybody will have sacrifices to make. When Rome fell, no one escaped the "inconvenience".
With the solid backing of the corporations they are beholden to
Dems too : General Electric, Google, Microsoft..These big coroporations support Dems
Honestly it's not a problem, but Reps/Dems should support all businesses, not pick their favorite.
State Unions across the Country know this as well, just as they are trying to do in Wisc, and are doing in other States, they will do their share. They will not allow the Union Busting if they can prevent it. n There are some extreme wing Govs that will find it hard to persue their agenda.

The unions won't be busted. Employees will simply have the option to enter or not enter into one when hired. I think that's something that we can ALL agree on that is beneficial.
OK. Make that a business investment tax or high deductable personal income tax. In any case the pensions should have ben funded. Just think how happy that would have made the banks handluing the pensions.
