Not talking about employment but retirement benefits. I've heard from some already retired folks that their benefits are being changed. Your point about growing up is meaningless in that regard, what makes unilateral change in an agreement reached by TWO parties OK in your mind?

No, your anti-union bias is clearly affecting your ability to judge a situation fairly. The issue has nothing to do with NJ, it's purely a case of one party attempting to alter an agreement reached by two parties. You accept that because?
And BTW, I've never been a union member and disagree with many union doings, but I also believe in honoring a deal that's been agreed to.
Four Republican Governors are facing recall due not only to their insane and irrational behaviors and actions in the recent months, but their continued assault on their communities and the people of their State.
Governor Scott Walker R-WI
Governor John Kasich R-OH
Governor Jan Brewer R-AZ
Governor Rick Snyder R-MI
Here's to good times....
I live in Wisconsin, and I dont think that gov walkers actions were insane or irrational. he is trying to balance a budget. the only thing I think he did wrong was to not include the police and firefighters unions in with the same deal as they are trying to give the teachers.

You a flat out wrong. The situation is exactly as I described. The union had 2 choices accept concession, which happens frequently between unions and management, or there would be layoffs.
And the House never started the impeachment resolution nor was there any such talks like Fiyero claimed..
actually there WAS a few representatives that have broached the subject of impeachment of obama, some republican and some democrat. fortunately cooler heads have prevailed thus far, and there has been no movement in that direction.
It's a shame Rick Perry from Texas isn't on that list. Where are the dems when you need them.
Rick Perry is protected by the "Good Ole Boys" network of Texas politics. That network has to eventually destroyed and at that point Texas will join the 21st century in terms of politics.

and none will even come close to being recalled. Anyone can start a recall patition, we all know that. Something as stupid as this would be like saying WOW, just look, Obama might be impeached anyday now...
This whole thing is a joke, especially when you put J. Brewers name on the list.
Give it up, before your dreams turn into nightmere's.
Says the party that when they became the majority in the House said their only task and issue that they cared about was getting Obama impeached.
The party actually said that, all the newly elected reps? Where are you getting your slated information, we would love to see the source. If you do not have the source, maybe you should be a little more careful about posting things you can't varify.
