For years people have pondered how to get the best and brightest of our college graduates to go into teaching. Not an easy task since most males scoff at the profession because of the low pay. But, there are some benefits that have helped attracted some good minds, such as a pension plans and health benefits. Just when things were looking up, a group of Republican bankers decided to destroy the economy. Instead of sending these crooks to prison, the Congress decides to bail them out and let them try again. Just to make sure things get done right, we elect some half wits to positions of authority and let them come up with solutions. But, first we make sure we give another tax break to the richest one percent (also know as the assholes who created the whole deficit problem in the first place).
In Wisconsin you have one of the half wits trying to bring down the teachers and all collective bargaining. His name is Scott Walker and you are bound to hear more about him in the near future. It's his goal to balance the budget on the backs of working people, while giving a free pass to the rich and famous. Oh, remember, the ones who are going to create all the jobs. Well, where are all the jobs???? Rest assured, Walker and his ilk won't be happy until they bring back slavery. And before we get too down on Scotty boy, there's another Presidential hopeful in Indiana trying to do the same damn thing.
When I am King, I'll start cutting from the top not the bottom.
Thank you for posting about this. I'm really glad this is getting more than just local attention. I had to suffer under him at a county level. He did more damage than good. He claimed to be for our bus transit system, but cut routes and times. This is not going to turn out well at all.
ReplyDeleteI choose to read "cutting from the top" as "beheading".
