Well fb..where is the money going to come from to satisfy all these unions ?
Where is the money for their raises since they don't want to be tied to the CPI ?

Dems get all emotional yet never utter a solution to the monetary problems.
Newsflash...only Bernanke has a printing press.

And your Dem leader told the Repubs to "go to the back of the bus" or did you forget that ?

Well, the Unions are agreeing to wage and compensation adjustments that ease the Budget burden. What part of that did you miss? They are negotiating in good faith thru the press, as Walker refuses to talk with them. What part of that are you missing? It is very easy to see what is going on in Wisc.

Let there be no doubt that is what they are protesting against.

The PEOPLE lawfully and democratically elected these officials to solve their budget problems and that's what they are doing.
Succinctly and well said.

Because it's only now that the unions are willing to negotiate.
If they did that months ago then maybe it wouldn't have gotten to where it is today.

Walker doesn't seem to be falling for it though. Last minute "oh..we changed our minds..we'll take less NOW" is poor union politics.

What part did YOU miss about the Democrats leaving the entire STATE?

Did you seriously just say Walker wouldn't talk to them????

Who here refuses to talk......the Republicans there in session wanting to do the business of the State of Wisconsin, or the Democrats that refuse to even report to work??
