STATES HAVE A RIGHT TO MONITOR HOW THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE ABOUT READY TO GO BANKRUPT!
Dick Morris discusses the stake in the Wisconsin recall election where the union is trying to punish those who voted for Governor Walker’s reforms.
I know people don’t believe that the States are going broke and that it’s all a ploy, but if you have been paying attention for the past ten years, you wouldn’t find that surprising. California has been paying with vouchers and many states have had to do away with their fire and police departments.
If you have ever gone the rounds with the school over a terrible teacher that can’t be fired because of tenor, then you should be able to understand the problem schools are having with firing bad teachers and keeping good ones. I have had that battle with Mr. Lions when I lived in California. I found out after I complained to the school that the parents in the area had put together a petition to get rid of him because he was so bad.
Please don’t listen to the liars in the union that only want power, and pay attention to our economy. Pay attention to common sense. You should be able to see that it makes no sense for a janitor to be paid more than teachers because of the union demands. Something is very wrong with this picture.
Please help us clean up this mess. Help the people of Wisconsin prevent the union bullies from taking recalling the bullies that want their demands met over everyone else’s. Please! Stand up for what is right. That’s all the politicians did, since the Democrats would not vote and held up things because they were too immature and spoiled to act like an adult and face the music as they were hired to do. Now they want to take it out of those who told them to stop it and stand up like an adult.
It’s gotten to a point where Union’s are too powerful and they need to be more balanced. You must see that don’t you?
Dick, 2 items: First, what business does the federal government have in education to begin with? I have not found that “responsibility” in the Constitution. It seems that education should be a strictly State’s Rights issue.
Secondly, although I agree with you 100%, our household income is down by 60%.As a result just paying bills on time is challenge, not to mention trying to eat. If there is a non-financial way for me to help, let me know.

Dick, Thank you for the great daily messages you provide online. After reading some of the comments below I feel compelled to ask everyone to contribute whatever they can to this cause. I live in the heavily unionized state of Hawaii and sent $100 to help Wisconsin. There is no chance Hawaii will escape the thrall of unionization anytime soon but I can see how unions have damaged our economy and standard of living. If the Wisconsin reforms fail there will be no hope for other states.
Dick, you are absolutely correct in your analysis. I used to be more hopeful than I am now that we would see the American People rise up and take back the government. After recent conversations with “average” Americans, I am much more fearful. These people were not uneducated, not uninformed. The feeling of entitlement is deeply embedded in the thinking of a very large percentage of our fellow citizens. Simply put, they want to be taken care of!
