For goodness sake, those policemen/women, firefighters risk thier lives to protect out security and lives, and the teachers have been underpaid for so long and deserve decent salary for the future of the country. Compare that to the union of football players and other sports jocks who get $15 to $20 million a year just to throw a pigskin.

Other public employees do not risk their lives. They just sit there doing administrative work, and generally work less than 8 hours/day since they just keep jabbing about how certain jocks should have done to score a touchdown.

On the federal level, those brave soldiers have been underpaid and ignored when they return home with several injuries, lost limbs, or even coming home in a coffin. They should be better compensated than those lazy politicians who are getting fatter and fatter. Just witness Christ Christy, and he is a Republican like I am.

Scott Walker is doing the right thing. Not because he is a Republican, but that is a common sense. Obama did the right thing as well, giving a lukewarm support to the recall.
