When their recall failed by a wide margin leftist and union leaders were literally crying, “America is dead, it’s over, it’s the end.” Union members held each other as they sobbed, seeking some sort of human comfort amid the end of [their] world, which means the end of a movement to the socialist left, free of the intimidation by union goons and move back to the free market. For the people of Wisc. it already means a new balanced budget and more employment. This means better financial sustainability thanks in no small measure to the State’s new low overheard insurance program that cuts costs as it provides better benefits. Socialists have suffered a major setback and that’s why they are really crying, but you can barely hear them over the cheers from the voters.
Well said Jack. It also means more money goes to the classroom and fewer students per class in many districts!
Charles Krauthammer has a great piece on this moment in history and the demise of the state unions:
