Wisconsin's budget office said the state could end with a $121 surplus this year! So why is Governor Walker going after union's collective bargaining rights? The fiscal crisis is a pretext for a conservative union-busting agenda.
Meanwhile, Walker and his GOP buddies pushed through $140 million in new spending for special interests in January.
The whole thing stinks. Yet instead of analyzing Wisconsin's budget, the mainstream media has taken Walker's bait, making the debate all about lazy, overpaid public-sector union members, and taking away forever their right to collective bargaining, which is a fundamental human right recognized by the UN and International Labor Organization.
