Thread: Protesting in Wisconsin....Just the beginning?

That was todays protest sorta thousand more joined in support of the bill. No one is trying to drag them down. If your wife spent 1,000 dollars a day and it was out of your budget would you say how can I spend that much also or would you cut her spending? Without this legislature some of them are going to lose there jobs there is just not enough money to support their current situation.

I think what 32t was saying was more related to the private sector. Most big companies today are not hurting in the least for cash. Governments are a different matter, but again, if we had more (good paying) jobs in the private sector, there would be more tax revenue, so...

Keep in mind, most of the unions agreed to the planned pay/benefit cuts. THey may have been vocal in their dislike of the way they were handled, but they're not out there simply because of cuts. The key thing is that the governor is trying to bust their unions altogether. That's what everyone is (rightly) worked up about.

Kasich did say he would get revenge on the unions for supporting Strickland.....
