Actually, it is the CEOs and their Army of Paid For Congressmen who are playing the "NASCAR Dads" like violins and getting them to call for an end to American families.

If that douchebag Governor fires a bunch of people in a political fight, as he is threatening, the Republicans will lose a lot of support in Wisconsin and across much of America. In fact, just the threat of firing people is probably going to cause them to lose support.

If they get laid off, it will be the fault of the fleebaggers and the WI citizens know this.

Do you seriously believe that? Do you actually think people en masse will buy that kind of ill conceived scapegoating from the person that is firing them?

I'm really looking forward to the 2012 elections and the Republicans trying to explain how firing a buttload of people helps the economy.

I don't think your opinion will be how the majority of Americans will see it.

LOL. yes municiplaities having their credit ratings lowered because their debt is too high will really help communities. We ain't got no money. The well is dry!

The unions had a choice, accept modest changes or layoffs. They made their choice.

Um, the unions agreed to all the terms except no collective bargaining, which cannot be described as 'modest' by any stretch of the imagination.
