Stupid me. I should have realized the unions always had the taxpayer's back first and then the worker they represent. When the teachers go on strike year after year it's because they want lower pay and beni's to save the taxpayer a buck. And I always thought it was the other way around.

BTW according to the Governor the bill saves $30 million a year or in Obama text $300 million over 10 years. The public employee gets what amounts to a 8% cut in pay/beni's, bringing them more into line with private sector workers, the people who pay no taxes or receive government support experience no change and the taxpayer, who's been getting it in the backside all these years, gets a break. Let WI serve as the prototype for other States.
