I agree that hyperbolic name-calling, while it feels good in the moment, is not constructive. Goodness knows we need constructive conversation right now. <br /><br />This situation is highly charged because the bill is SO drastic and the governor refuses to budge on any point, even union concessions that would go along with his economic demands. If my kids give me a minute, I'll do another post soon!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090954944438450837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-75095904737444001172011-02-22T22:31:43.337-06:002011-02-22T22:31:43.337-06:00Okay, so my last comment about your governor doing...Okay, so my last comment about your governor doing what was best for your state was a bit premature and I'm sorry that I sounded so self righteous. <br />I do believe that drastic actions sometimes need to be taken. <br />But after a couple of discussions with my in-laws who live in WI, I have a better perspective. <br />I still don't think he's a monster (because I think he is a person), but I do think he is being a big bully. Not willing to compromise? Come on! That's what life is all about! Especially government. Threatening jobs if this doesn't get passed. Come on, gov'nor, seriously?giannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745654173969916703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-25173614629776532902011-02-22T15:45:41.578-06:002011-02-22T15:45:41.578-06:00Don't get me started on his budget ideas.

He's going to spell out his budget next week and there was a leak that said he plans to cut $900 million (M.I.L.L.I.O.N.) from education. <br /><br />WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?! <br /><br />I'm officially scared.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609255395293416061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25191821.post-40571317929510414672011-02-21T17:26:54.465-06:002011-02-21T17:26:54.465-06:00Thanks so much for providing a quick place to unde...Thanks so much for providing a quick place to understand what is going on in WI.
