It always amazes me when I see people comment on things the government does when they clearly have no clue as to how the government works...will...froz...rick. People who are blind to the facts are nothing more than sheep. Froz, you stated that you didnt even read the bill and didnt care. You based you opinion on what you heard the media spew out instead of looking it up and reviewing the facts. Much is the same with most people. Those who do that are have no right to complain about some "injustice" because they have no clue what is going on other than what they heard.
Lets go back two election cycles ago. Obama was running for the presidency and everyone who voted for him or would have if they could were hooked on the promise of "change". After that election he not only won but had complete support from his party in both houses of congress. The democrats had complete control to do what they pleased. What happened? Not only did Obama and the rest of his party completely do a 180 on the things they had said durring the time they were campagning. But they also chose to continue and expand upon, the polices that were put in place during the Bush administration. All that did was to exasperate an already bad situation. Now we come to this past election cycle. Many of those who were on the Obama band wagon had reached the point were they had enough and wanted something done to fix the economy not make it worse. So, in comes the tea party and the republicans. Both worked together to bring about the real change that was needed. The thing is, that means making tough choices. Getting rid of unions is a tough choice. But in wisconson, if you read the bill that is, the problem is that the money is being reconfigured. One way that is being done is to have them put money from their pay into their penstion and health care. This is offset by making it so they dont have to pay union dues. Oh my, no we start to see why there is a problem and why the unions are up in arms. They are no longer getting paid for no reason. Paid by the tax payers I might add, to do nothing but "bargin for more stuff".
Before you make claims based on what you hear, you might want to do some actual research and see what is in the bill before ranting on about things you have no clue about.
P.S. @ froznite....that explains why you are so pro-union because your parents are in them. Makes sense to me now, I somehow missed that part in your post. As for teaching kids, the thought has crossed my mind and it stops each time not because of pay scales but because I would rather teach adults.
