Wisconsin Gov. Rejects Unions‘ ’Red Herring’ Compromise

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Governor Scott Walker stressed that his administration is “looking at every option,“ but believes his plan is ”the right thing for Wisconsin.”

When host Chris Wallace asks how collective bargaining privileges affect the current budget process, Walker stressed that equipping local governments with tools they need to manage local budgets is a key step in ensuring the state’s future fiscal solvency.

    @KILLA FROM WASILLA “Can anyone say 1 term Governor?”

    When he’s not, and he won’t be, will all the Democrats shut their holes? Really, when the state speaks up, and supports him, will all the idiot union goons go away?

    Only 7% of the population belong to a union. Some of those DON”t like unions, but happen to work in a field that is unionized. Those are NOT enough numbers to make any real change. Sorry…enough to protest, but no lasting change. The majority of the people in this country are conservative. Facts, just the facts.

    These people are mentally deranged and incapable of making any rational decisions.

    Let’s see, the teachers in Wisconsin are stealing from the people they work for with their fake little sick in, setting a shameful example of ethics, and laying a template for their students on how to grow up and be a completely self centered ass like they are.
    Oh no! Heaven forbid these teachers pay for a pittance of their own benefits, now that Wisconsin can’t afford to lug them around anymore without some help. Don’t you feel sorry for the poor little victims?
    Does anybody else find it strange that a big group of teachers can’t do basic math? What part of “We don’t have the money” don’t these people understand?
    As if the stool in Wisconsin wasn’t backed up enough, throw in Dick Trumpka, Barry Obama, and some derelict Democratic senators, and you’ve got a five alarm plumbing emergency!

      Get their butts back into the classroom or terminate them. PERIOD! I can’t abide this stuff…I do not support it, and I was myself a government employee, vested and have retirement coming for the last 5 years which I have yet to claim. I’m still working my butt off everyday. I am sick of people who expect the taxpayers to support their entitlement way of life. They should be paying what the rest of us have to pay…I have no health insurance through my job, and we pay out the butt for my husbands, private union insurance plan…retirement is contributed equally what we pay in and what the employer pays in. We are now in our 60′s still working, helping to support grandkids that our kids can’t pay for because they are taxed to death. My son is a laborer, piece worker, and makes decent money, but only by his hard work, and his wife is a nurse, in a nursing home..between the two of them make about the same as my husband and I…and we all had to pay MORE in taxes this year above what we paid, claiming zero and withholding at the higher single rate…something is wrong with this picture. My son has 10 people living in his household he is supporting…along with his wife. There is something bad wrong with this tax system. That is all I can say.

    Amen LadyDa. This is just another example of throwing good money after bad. These people have had it so good for so long, and when the taxpayers get sick of supporting their wasteful spending, they just want to propocate more of it. They don’t seem to get the message. We as a civilization cannot afford the spending that has continued for years and years. We’re broke people, China owns us, and if we do not do something now, it will soon be a way of life that none of us want to deal with. Do you know that in China, even most “middle Class” folks don’t have heat??? They use hot water bottles to keep warm when the weather turns cold which is a lot of the time. I know this because of our girl who works for my company who lives in China. These folks want to be CHINA??? Just keep this crap up…we are closer than they think..Selfish, stupid, and “gotta get mine” is the way I look at all this. If we had a real meltdown, and the resources were to dry up…these same people would be coming to take YOURS….it is their mentality. They will do whatever they need to do to take what YOU have away from you because they are like the Grasshoppers in “A Bugs Life”…they will come to take away from us Ants. The workers, the ones who take care of themselves and don’t ask for help from the government…when the bad times hit, the Grasshoppers will come breaking down our door, because they were not prepared.

What has the Union bosses especially scared is the provision allowing people the CHOICE to be in a Union or not. Fact is, and history has shown, when people have the choice they more often than not choose not to be in a Union. THAT is what has the Unions so worried!!

Taxes are supposed to fund andoinly fund necessary needs of services and security of our states and fed Gov. as we have seen, the states are financially broke, our fed gov has totally given up on national security and is so in debt, that we cant ever fix this mess! but yet the public unions are forcing more spending at the peril of the whole!

The unions aren’t willing to compromise anything. Scott Walker wanted them to contribute 12% to their own health care costs. That’s half of the national average; they aren’t even willing to do this.

They aren’t trying to bring labor and management to a level playing field, like the term suggests. Instead these union thugs are trying to bring the full weight of a STATEWIDE union to overpower the LOCAL govt entities and stong-arm agreements they COULDN’T get if they had to deal on a fair level. Walker‘s not taking away ANYONE’S rights. He’s trying to RESTORE the rights of LOCAL unions to deal with LOCAL govts equally.

      There once was a killa, a lib
      Whose every word was a fib
      He was speaking his libberish
      Cheez exposed it as gibberish
      But killa kept on being glib

      There. Libberish Limerick.

      KILLA FROM WASILLA Do you think that someone earning $30,000 (that has no pension) wants to pay the pension for a teacher that earns 60,000 and only work 6 months out of the year? Math made EZ, do you think there are more teachers or people earning 30 G’s or less?

      @ HappyStretchedThin
      The trolls who yap in libberish
      know their own thoughts are gibberish
      their keyboards make them feel big
      but their mamas know they are pigs
      for their basement is a sty reeking of liquorice

      Killa from Wassilla — you will be right if this fails. Everybody pray that Walker and all the Rep. Senators and Assembly members stay strong. This is ground zero in the battle over the budget in every other state out there, and a victory or defeat will snowball rapidly.

      Gov Walker, I am so proud of your courage and conviction! Keep up the pressure, you are in the right for America!

      I’m from Ohio and I believe Gov. Kasich has the same courage and conviction!’

      Godspeed to both of you!

      If the Democrats won’t come back, Why can‘t Governor Scott collect all the doctors’ notes of the teachers (and whoever else got one) and fire the state workers and teachers who received them. That would save money and probably save the state!

We do not have TIME for these scum, these cowardly fools to run and hide from dealing with this nation’s problems.

      A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. If passed, the bill could put another $165 billion in liabilities on the shoulders of American taxpayers. Why are the unions still in business and why do people still believe they work? What the heck are they fighting for? Oh let’s continue giving these robbers our money so they can continue to screw us. Then they can still lie to us and tell us what we want to hear.

      @Killa

      One time governor ? That will be up to the people from Wisconsin. He was elected on this platform and he is sticking up for what he said. The sorry people who are being bussed into WI need to go back to their own states and deal with their budget problems. GO WALKER

      I think your dreaming if you think he is a one term governor. His popularity has risen in Wisconsin since this started, not declined. He ran on saying he was going to do this, was elected, and he is doing what he promised. I could see how liberals would think that would make it impossible for him to get re-elected but most Americans like a politician who does what he promised, unlike a sitting President that I could mention.

      Couldn’t. Answer. The. Question. And neither can anyone here. When workers are willing to agree to the financial contributions being discussed, what’s left but an attack on the collective bargaining process?

      Why is he a one term governor? Because he is a principled man who promised the voters (and was thus elected – along with a conservative state senate and house) to reduce their deficit and stop the insane practice of spending more than you bring in???

      Killa,

      I think if you were paying attention, you will find that the majority of “Voters” in Wisconsin are in favor of what Governor Walker is doing….so NO, I don’t think anyone here will repeat your idiocy of “one term governor”!
