What a difference a week makes, eh? Looks like all the days of rage and revolution from the Middle East have migrated across the Atlantic to the US Midwest:
Yeah, that’s right…working Wisconsinites of the public sector are seriously cheesed off, and they’re walking out, sitting in, standing up, and shutting down.
And the sweetest part is, they’re doing it TOGETHER. Remind you of anything?
Yeah, that’s what it reminded ME of, too.
Democracy is coming…to the Middle East AND the USA. And not a minute too soon, either.
When the newly elected Republican governor Scott Walker was recently installed in Wisconsin the state had a budget surplus, which he promptly squandered in order to put the state into a contrived debt crisis, so that he could “prove” Wisconsin can no longer afford union wages and benefits for its government employees.
It’s an outrageously transparent union busting tactic.
