I just joined the group and saw your comment about Wisconsin and the Union-busting that's going on. The teachers, fire fighters and police and anyone else who is in a union joined it because they wanted to be able to negotiate fair pay for a fair days work. When my Grandparents came to this country from Russia, Poland and Ukraine, they worked in sweat shops in NY City and slept on the floors which were dirty. Children worked there too. It was horrible.
I copied and pasted this for the Governor of Wisconsin:
Taxpayers in State of Wisconsin will pay $1.7 billion for Proposed Afghanistan war spending for FY2011. For the same amount of money, the following could be provided: 1.3 million Children Receiving Low-Income Healthcare for One Year OR 27,358 Elementary School Teachers for One Year OR 37,703 Firefighters for One Year OR 245,320 Head Start Slots for Children for One Year OR 502,135 Households with Renewable Electricity - Solar Photovoltaic for One Year OR 1.3 million Households with Renewable Electricity-Wind Power for One Year OR 235,099 Military Veterans Receiving VA Medical Care for One Year OR 235,099 Military Veterans Receiving VA Medical Care for One Year OR 372,502 People Receiving Low-Income Healthcare for One Year OR 26,500 Police or Sheriff's Patrol Officers for One Year OR 205,929 Scholarships for University Students for One Year OR 308,338 Students receiving Pell Grants of $5550
So the Governor cannot cry he is trying to balance the budget-just end the war!!
