Walker kept trying to play nice. Since when do the Democrats care? He should have done this the day the fleabaggers hit the road.

...enjoy the time with your family, you can thank the democratic party for leading you down this path....SUCKERS!

He'll be hated for it, naturally. But it's the only tool the libs have left him to do his job of balancing the budget. They've brought it upon themselves, and maybe this wake up call will help them to understand. Share the load together, or it will be dumped upon the selected. For too long, the selected has been the private sector.

Don’t they get 99 weeks of unemployment?

Taxpayers are the biggest chumps. :)

I can’t wait to watch these spoiled brats cry when they’re told they don’t have jobs anymore.

But look at the upside: we have a ROARING Obama economy. They should have no trouble finding new jobs with great pay. :)

There’s your “hope & change.... enjoy.

Ugh, I hope Walker isn’t negotiating away the best parts of the bill - the things few people have been talking about. The parts unions are so terrified of are about Wisconsin refusing to withhold union dues and the option workers would have to opt out of the union altogether.

The collective bargaining stuff is important, but letting people opt out of the unions, forcing the unions to have elections each year to remain certified, and ending the state collection of dues are the best parts of the bill - and are the pieces of the bill that would drastically diminish union power for years or even decades to come.

As long as the union thugs with seniority get to keep ALL their pay and benefits they couldn't care less HOW many new members get the ax.
My wife was once an apprentice with a union—word would come down that,say,ten workers will be laid off—the old timers would simply “book out” ten apprentices and THEY would be the ones terminated.
The gifted young teacher who loves kids—but who is new—will be laid off while the kid hating,sorry-ass old dunderhead has job security.
THAT is what Walker is trying to fix.

How much do Union bosses lose? A pittance, eh? (not Canadian)

(Walker’s budget proposal hinges on the state saving $330 million over two years from forcing state workers to pay more for their benefits.)

You got to love the AP and the rest of the laimstream media. How many times have I seen the words “forcing”, or “cutting”, or “slashing” when they talk about Republicans?

Pick your targets for firing carefully: Make sure to inflict the most pain on the most politically venomous lot of them.

These commie miscreants will simply refuse to go. They'll be barricading themselves inside their classrooms.

Quoting Nancy Pelosi “Unemployment is good for the economy”

Can we start by laying off the absentee Senate democrats?
