Sadly you don't understand the economic damage the Public Sector Unions have done to the state, and why this measure is being used to curtail such largess in the future. They aren't doing it for today, they are doing it to save the state tomorrow.
Since there was no quorum, it will not stand up in court. The Wisconsin State Supreme Court will overturn this in short order.
This is so condescending and self-important, I can't believe I'm even responding.
Paying people and giving them pensions and healthcare is not damaging to the economy. We were doing fine when Clinton was president...and the unions were negotiating then too. I think the problem is electing leaders who let their rich friends take dangerous risks with home loans and every other aspect of the economy and then spend extra money on unnecessary ventures...like war.
The United States is fully capable of fulfilling the demands of public workers (who despite being called greedy are probably the least greedy in the U.S. considering that many of them chose to take lower paying jobs when they could have been effing up the country on Wall Street).
She is funny. I've seen her a few times, and have lovingly dubbed her "Rachael Madcow". :mrgreen:
False. The Police and Fire Departments formally backed Scott Walker for governor and then turned on him when he went after collective bargaining.
The GOP is overreaching.
One thing I always thought conservatives could understand was that people don't like it when you take away their rights - aren't they always whining about gun rights and the like - they're done.
Hehehe, Dems getting a bit of their own medicine.Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights without Dems
I don't know if they're cowards, they just risked a massive recall to carry out the agenda of a few billionaire GOP supporters...
I'd say they're just dumb cheeseheads.
Walker is done. That two-faced ass is out of there as soon as he can legally be recalled.

I would expect a challenge. But then the democrats would have to admit it was about the budget after all, no?
This is great for the state of Wisconsin, I applaud the Senate for a job well done.
:applaud

Not true. In passing the bill, Republicans stripped out ALL of the economic measures, and the version that went to the floor ONLY dealt with busting the union. NOTHING was passed that dealt with the budget. And therein, we now see the real motivation for this move, which was to repay the funding and favors given by the Koch Brothers to the Wisconsin Republican party. The GOP will soon be dead in that state. They have picked a fight that they are surely going to lose.
You seem all giddy too.
This has nothing to do with Wisconsin. It's all about 2012 and Obama.

He's the "real" conservative 'round here, pardner.

The police and fire departments do not make up all of Walkers voters and generally republicans are anti-union while democrats are pro-union.
How so? [overreaching]
Unless it is stated in the constitution then you can not call something a right. you and I have the right to keep and bear arms without the government infringing on that right because it says so in the 2nd amendment. Where does it say that you have the right to join a union (or some cases forced to join a union if you want a certain job,which is the opposite of something being a right)?
