Now this is a governor worthy of his paycheck. State budgets will never be balanced until the public unions are vastly reduced in power or eliminated completely. They've proven to be highly effective fund raising entities for the Democrat Party because that relationship is incestuous--public money used by public unions to fund Democrats who support ever more largesse directed from the public coffers into the public unions.

Thank you Governor Walker! Stay the course and godspeed.

Why didn't he bring this up during the Campaign? He won by a pretty sizeable margin. Had he made his point about collective bargaining in the campaign he wouldn't have won by as big a margin. But he would have more than likely won all the same and they wouldn't have to deal with all this recall shit.

Scott Walker Needs to leave the state and never come back. He has ruined this great state.

"It's working", right. My property taxes went up, it is projected the state will have a 140 million dollar budget shortfall, and his attack on public workers has gone to the private sector.

FYI, he continues to say unions, but this also took away from the non-union public workers. Also, public workers don't negotiate with congress (democrats). They negotiate with an elected board. Librarians for instance negotiate with the local library board.

@TsugaC Well said. Fuck the public sector unions. Walker is doing an excellent job.

It is the Employers who pay state and federal taxes to cover all those unemployment checks. However, since mr oblama has come-into office, there isn't enough money in those accounts to pay for all his extensions.

[ncaaIIIchamp]

@Anglagard1 I think the employer is responsible for paying for your unemployment benefits.

@3434arc1 Please explain to me how the mainstream media, all of it owned by rich capitalists, is somehow capitalism's harshest critic. I would really like that question answered.

[Anglagard1]

@ilikemitchhedberg Sorry, Scott Walker beat you to it. Fortunately, there are so many good jobs here in Wisconsin, I no longer need a union. Not.

[Anglagard1]

@MNPonyLady I live in Wisconsin and my property taxes went up this year. Meanwhile, government services such as snow removal unemployment compensation, library funding, assistance to the disabled and the ederly, etc. have gone down appreciably. Don't believe the hype.

[Anglagard1]

Scott Walker's pedophile friends are taking trips to Hawaii on money they stole from veterans groups while I get laid-off through my company's attempt to bust a union I do not belong to. Then the government tells me I am not eligible for unemployment compensation despite the fact that I have paid into it for the last 20 years. Explain to me again how he is on my side.
