Wisconsin Gov. Walker threatens to trigger layoffs for thousands of public workers (salary, speech)

[BentBow]

The 12,000 that are going to get the axe, most likely didn't vote for Walker on Nov. 2nd, 2010.
I'd go as far as to predict less than 1% of Government workers voted for Walker.

Bush is a Progressive with an R by his name.

What did you expect from a Progressive.

But if you really feel that way then maybe you should belong to a union where they fight for workers rights. Do you think only democrates belong to unions.

Actually, it will be on the heads of the missing democrats.

Unless his budget is passed, he will miss the opportunity to refinance their debt and if that happens, here come the layoffs.

The OP's title is "Walker triggers the layoffs".
That's not true. The WI teacher's union requirements is triggering the layoff notices.

Americans aren't unemployed because the economy is bad, the economy is bad because Americans are unemployed and everyone can thank their globalist politicians, especially the Clintons who made it all possible and Obama is who still hell bent on furthering the aims of the globalists and their greed.

you left one out between Clinton and Obama, e.g. Bush.

I agree... what are they needed for right now? Nothing. I know Walker mentioned cutting the funds for their staff... makes sense.
