at least that is what the MSM is reporting this AM ...they are highlighting the fact Walker took a deficit and made a surplus with no tax increases.
Of course they spend no time explain how he did it and the damage it will cause in the long run.
Well one has a few choices now and the best thing people can do in America right now is to start stocking up on guns, ammo, food, fuel, water, medical supplies, etc...
Things are going to get really ugly fast and people best be prepared.
let me tell you what happened:
the private sector has been crushed even though corporations are reaping record profits and the rich get to keep their bullshit taxcuts.....so the private sector employees outside of OWS look at people who have a modicum of benefits and respect left in their employment and instead of fighting to keep or get back that which they deserve, they act like children and scream WHY SHOULD *THEY* HAVE WHAT I NO LONGER HAVE. This is a hateful conservative teabagging WET DREAM where the workers are all fighting amongst themselves while the 1% reap ALL the rewards we have ALL lost, while all the political HACKS who work for them and the fucking teabagging ignorant rat bastard fox news fans who believe every piece of SHIT propaganda they hear CHEER THEM ON

The question is if they want to pay more taxes so that someone else will have a better circumstance than they have.
Altruism is fine til it hits your own pocketbook. I wonder why they can't be given credit for voting where their economic interests lie. I am not sure the argument that was being made, namely that union benefits influence private sector benefits rings true as people realize hardly anyone has a pension anymore and it's not likely they will.

I wish it were true that it could do so but that is so unrealistic...I don't know how anyone can sell someone on that and not feel like they were being dishonest.
