No 'poppycock' at all. The Wisconsin unions offered financial cuts and
give-backs towards their pensions and health care, but the governor
rejected their offer out of hand.

In the governor's case, the finances had nothing to do with his agenda;
he -does- want to get rid of collective bargaining. The guv wants to
bust unions, pure and simple.

Steve, from your posts here, you appear to be just a little guy, not a
wealthy individual. Why are you so hell-bent on giving away the store to
Big Business?

Interesting thought.

Even down here in the wilds of Indiana, we've heard about Michigan's new
Republican governor's "shared sacrifice" plan.

GIVE Big Business a two billion dollar gift...and pay for it on the
backs of school kids, retirees and yes, out of Lare's pocket, too.

I'm sure Big Business will really appreciate your gift. But again,
please tell me why, as a 'little guy', you will be giving away the store
to Big Business.

Finally, TAKE from Lare's pocket and GIVE to Big Business doesn't sound
very much like "sharing", not even a little bit.

P.S. Lots of older guys here on this NG, so just thought you'd want to
know that on the front page of today's (3/4/11) Wall Street Journal,
Republican Boehner said he was "going to curb Social Security and
Medicare". Just the news all us geezers want to hear.
