#1 Unions are not "the people" Government unions are not "the people". Most "people" do not use graft or extortion to feed their families. Especially if they are fat enough already.

It truly is a caste system now.

#2 Wisconsin COULD be the first domino to fall. As these bankrupt states begin to dissolve into chaos, watch the Obama administration begin to roll out their regionally based, FEMA Emergency Action Plan (EAP) which will initially be aimed at providing...... medical care and food. To be followed soon thereafter by state boundry reconsolidations and name changes along FEMA boundry lines; fuel (travel) restrictions and of course rationing of all types. All must share thke burden of this crisis. Regional 'identity' ration cards will be issued and our outdated, apartheid based dollars will be discontinued in favour of FEMA transition script, issued on a 'needs based' formula. Curfews will be enforced to reduce our dependency upon electricity; lights out everyone. The US Constitution will be temporarily set asside and private ownership of weapons will be disconinuted. The Obama vehicle of societal "change" will have been fully enacted.

#3 Walker and his cronies and his big money supporters

Including a majority of Wisconsin voters, but clearly not "the people". No, those are probably dupes of the "cronies".

Iran Press TV probably finds the "one man and his supporters and cronies" plausable, because that's what happens in their little corner of the world.

As for the American "expert", Wikipedia says - The Yemen Times has praised Loewenstein's work as deserving "all the honors one can bestow on a great journalist."

Wotta coincidence!

#4 Another opinion on the good professor, also from Wikipedia

"[She] ... is herself a Jew, but obviously a self-hating member of the [Jewish] tribe, with a sordid lineage going back to the 'kapos' who shoveled their companions into the ovens and collaborated with their murderers. Like many of her political comrades in the secular and religious left she has joined the forces of Islamic barbarism that are ranged against the civilized people of America and Israel."

#7 Don't disallow the right to strike but make sure that the other part of the law allowing mass firings is enforced when a strike does occur. In fact make it a legal obligation of the state to sack those who strike.

#10 Don't disallow the right to strike but make sure that the other part of the law allowing mass firings is enforced when a strike does occur

Sounds good in theory. But in practice...

In {some|most|all} jurisdictions in the US, it is illegal for public employees to strike. But they do. And no judge will sign the injunction to force them back to work, because it will be political suicide next election when you have the teachers, clerical workers, auto workers, police, firemen, garbage collectors and anyone else with a union card voting against you at the polls.

#11 ...but, tomorrow, everyone without a union card will be made to remember who the judge choose to work for. Hint - it's not the citizens of the city or state they reside in.
