And the people? What are they left with? Wells that contain poisons, unemployment despite CEO bonuses, and, most importantly, FOOTING THE BILL. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

Are you, too, joining the ranks of the useful idiots that DO NOT know the difference between private sector and public sector unions?

Public employees work for and are paid by the taxpayers. Public employee unions are making a HUGE mistake in portraying themselves as victimized workers. The taxpayers are the ones who see themselves as the victims in this dispute. The taxpayers *DO NOT* want to be squeezed any further to pay for those lavish overly-generous public employee salaries and benefits. Stop squeezing the taxpayers!

Yep, The Kochs are sending in reinforcements. They are flying in from Chad, Niger and Sudan. Unleashing them on the demonstrators ......Oh wait, that was Kaddfi. Now, what were you saying again?

The problem with your arguement, if you want to call it that, is that the unions were not squeezing, they came to an agreement with the State, but the PAWN in the governors manison said no deal unless the unions agreed to give uo the right to bargain on anything except on what He says is allowed. The reason he did this was to force the union to give up their collective bargaining rights which he knew they could not do without having their union broken, the reason the strike continues is because of the Governor, not the Unions, as usual Pawns are too blind to see the truth.

What was so bad about what Walker said in that phone call?

Walker: "Hell, even FDR got it. Um, there’s no place for the kind of, uh, I mean, essentially you’re having taxpayer money be used to pay to lobby for spending more taxpayers’ money. It’s absolutely ridiculous."

That is spot on!

First of all, we already know who you are, so you don't need to sign your posts.

Second, there should not even be any government employee unions.
