Heh. Hardly a promotional endorsement for the Unions.

Exactly. Now try bargaining a multi-billion dollar deal with them. That's what we're up against.

Maybe they can be fired by the bankruptcy administrator.

I like what Walker did in WI - took away their ability to force people to join the union and have dues taken from paychecks.

As an Illinoisan who votes Democrat, I laugh at the antics going on up in Wisconsin. And they say we're corrupt.

Illinois is pretty corrupt at the city and state level. And I say that as someone from Louisiana, so you know my glass house had plenty of pre-Jindal stones thrown at it.

Walker seems to be doing a pretty good job cleaning up the mess in WI, at least from this distance.

My experience in NC is that then the D's lose control of a state after a zillion years in charge of it, their lunatic fringe loses it's mind. They had the occupation of the capital in WI that caused $M in damages and a $MM failed recall election. Here in NC we have so-called "moral monday.'

Perhaps I missed similar juvenile antics in Colorado when the D's from California and Washington took over the entire government and started changing laws willy-nilly.

I'm actually quite unimpressed. You have a lot to learn, young padawan.
