Wis. Schools face deep cuts under gov.'s budget news.yahoo.com By MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Scott Walker is plowing ahead with his full plan for balancing Wisconsin's budget, proposing massive cuts to public schools even as he faces a stalemate over his proposal to strip public workers of collective bargaining rights. With Senate Democrats still missing, Walker presented the second part of his two-year spending plan to the Legislature on Tuesday. It relies on getting concessions from government employees to help pay for about $1 billion cuts in aid to schools, counties and cities while avoiding any tax or fee increases, furloughs or widespread layoffs as lawmakers grapple with a projected $3.6 billion shortfall. Jamie Domini, a project coordinator at Badger Rock Middle School in Madison, said Walker's proposal — which includes a 9 percent cut in aid to schools amounting to about $900 million — would "completely gut the public education system in Wisconsin."

No surprise there. The ethnic Albanian rebels in Kosovo when it was part of Serbia were supported by Albania. Albania, if not a criminal state, is the center of criminal operations in the whole of Europe. It is a Muslim state supporting white slavery, the drug trade, loan sharking, and, as shown by this story, illegal trading in human body parts, as well as any number of other despicable activities. Yep, these are the people the Left want "liberated" from Serbian control in what was legitimately a state within the country of Serbia. The Left should be proud that they got what they wanted, but did they really know what they were supporting? I don't think so. It was just the feel good, Existentialist thing to do. No thinking required.
