Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

[Riot]

I'm happy to answer your first question, except your deliberate and silly obtuseness is a waste of time - go read your own post where you accurately outlined what was in the Walker package regarding benefit and pension cuts. You know what they are. The unions have repeatedly, publicly agreed to those. They have agreed to everything but removal of collective bargaining rights. Walker refuses to compromise with them. He has stated so publicly when directly confronted by reporters asking about the union compromises.

Does it bother you, the other significant and important things hidden within that 144-page bill? That Walker is legally taking supervision and responsibility away from the legislature and consolidating them, without supervision, within the governors' office?

Such as the "emergency measures" regarding a new unilateral right of only himself to determine public aid qualifications, amounts paid outside the public or legislature?

The new singular ability of only himself to lease or sell, for whatever amount he wants, your state utility companies?

Do you think that is a good thing, that Walker is taking those activities away from current control by the legislature? That a Governor is trying to pass law to decrease the normal Legislative branch representation and control over major, expensive, important programs and income for your state, and place all of it, unsupervised and unaccountable, in the hands of one person who has to answer to no one else?

I'm shocked that everyone in Wisconsin, from any and all political persuasions, isn't angrily marching on the state capital and telling Walker he wasn't elected dictator, over the other secret hidden stuff, above, in that falsely alleged "fiscal" bill.

I'm sure if federal employees faced the sudden and complete loss of their right to collectively bargain, they'd behave exactly as union members in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana are acting right now.
