Yup, Pigs are squeling. I have no sympathy,they've been paying dues to buy influence which is tantamount to stealing/extortion. Short cuts never pay and slime ball tactics need to be retracted. Perhaps the illgotten gains should have a claw back feature? Let the real squealing begin!!! They called Wall Street corrupt and they were laying in the same gutter. Obama's best defense is/has been a strong offense.Now the world sees the slimy pigs!! Bob

If those idiot cowards were there to negotiate a better deal, then maybe things could have been different, but I'm very glad they ran away like cowards... now, those greedy teachers have no one but their own idiot politicians to blame for running away like the cowards that they are for not being there to fight for them... Yes, absolutely, it does my heart good to see this wonderful news... I'm so pissed and miffed that Fox New so horribly misreported the news yesterday, it really makes me wonder about them... GZ

Hi Honey, I'm Home..... It's been over five decades since Wisconsin passed into law its collective bargaining statutes regarding unions for state employees. Wisconsin was the first state to enact such laws. Even the then sitting mayor of Milwaukee - the last mayor of a major city to be elected on the Socialist Party ticket - felt the state had given away significant power to negotiate and contain government spending and therefore budget control. The pendulum has been swinging further and further to the Left with the state budget getting further and further from reality and balance. A state with great work ethic, excellent highly skilled workforce and a nearly recession proof economy 50 years ago has been rendered yet another "service economy" as manufacturer after manufacturer headed elsewhere with their high pay scale jobs. Why? Because of high state taxes on individuals and corporations. Maybe we can still salvage the state economy if the playing field has been leveled. This is a start. Thank you Gov. Walker. Best regards, Tom
