Third World America

…what’s happening in Wisconsin isn’t about the state budget, despite Mr. Walker’s pretense that he’s just trying to be fiscally responsible. It is, instead, about power. What Mr. Walker and his backers are trying to do is to make Wisconsin — and eventually, America — less of a functioning democracy and more of a third-world-style oligarchy. And that’s why anyone who believes that we need some counterweight to the political power of big money should be on the demonstrators’ side.

Reich pointed out that the managers of Wall Street who caused the current unemployment crisis would have lost their jobs had it not been for their taxpayer-supported bailout two years ago. He noted that taxes on the earnings of some 13 hedge-fund managers could pay for 300,000 teachers.

WISCONSIN STATE TROOPERS REGRET ENDORSEMENT

“I specifically regret the endorsement of the Wisconsin Trooper’s Association for Gov. Scott Walker,” executive board president Tracy Fuller writes in a statement dated February 16. “I regret the governor’s decision to ‘endorse’ the troopers and inspectors of the Wisconsin State Patrol. I regret being the recipient of any of the perceived benefits provided by the governor’s anointing. I think everyone’s job and career is just as significant as the others. Everyone’s family is just as valuable as mine or any other persons, especially mine. Everyone’s needs are just as valuable. We are all great people!!”

It took Scott Walker only a few weeks to push the Capitol into political chaos.
The newly elected Republican governor of Wisconsin has set his sights on forcing public workers to pay more for benefits as he looks to balance the state’s budget — savings he needs to help cover the cost of tax cuts he demanded the day he took office.

Morning Constitutional 02/20/11

Gray morning here on President’s Day Eve. Subdued excitement, but thrilling never the less. Children everywhere won’t get much sleep tonight as they await the arrival of the ghost of George Washington. If the children have been good, he’ll give the boys a pet reptile and give the girls a handful of individual serving butter packets as you’d find at better restaurants.
Then it’s a full day spent indoors, in silence, with no TV or Gameboys. Tuesday morning, back at school, everyone writes an essay about their experience.
And for our Coptic friends it’s still a three week wait til Orthodox President’s Day and all the candied fish they can stomach. Sorry.

The Tweet button in the lower left corner featuring the little chicken on it should now work as expected.
