Good point about the billionaires. And yes, MSNBC has been shouting early and often that Wisconsin has no budget crisis, but they have not provided any numbers to back it up. The numbers are all public record, so I doubt that claim.
But regardless, of course the agenda is to suck power out of the unions. I take that as a given. I think our major point of disagreement is I think the public employee unions in Wisconsin are out of line insisting on free pensions and medical insurance for their members.
You of course know far better than I do that payroll is a whole different beast than benefits when it comes to taxes, and that's why benefits make such a fun bargaining chip.
