LMAO. Not unless you are one of those elected officials that the state troopers are trying to find. They have earned that name.
It's pretty complicated up here vaps. It angers me that Scott Walker is using the guise of "fiscal responsibility" to break a union. That is the sole purpose. I personally don't care for what unions have become but thousands upon thousands will be harmed because he wants to be the big shot who broke a union.
He and the Republicans (of which I am one) were elected to cut
wasteful spending. They haven't spent one minute on that. I guarantee you I could find thousands of way to cut
wasteful spending without doing so much harm. But that is not their intent. They have in fact already added to it.
For anyone who thinks "why shouldn't they have to pay more for their pensions, insurance etc." please read the article that I have linked. It's true.

Every one of us has a "value" assigned to us when we get a job. Whether it is distributed with more on the paycheck and less benefits or more in benefits and less on the paycheck..........it all comes out the same.
I want
wasteful spending addressed. And I want a government that is not going to pick every ounce of flesh off of our bones like a vulture. At least a vulture does it so they don't starve. Our government officials are doing it out of greed which I detest. You can even be rich without being greedy but there is way too much greed at the top levels.
And what do we do? Either nothing or we turn on each other instead of placing the blame where it belongs and demanding accountability from them.
