Just don't come running to me!

You gotta love what's going on in the State of Wisconsin. Right out of the starting line after sending Russ Feingold home, now newly elected Gov. Scott Walker (R) is following in the footsteps of his colleague from New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie (R), in putting a check on the power of the unions in his state.

The response from union workers was so strong that thousands of union protesters converged on the State House in Madison to protest Gov. Walker's proposal to Wisconsin's budget to end collective bargaining rights for state employees. The unions had strong support expressed by such figures as Teamsters president James P. Hoffa as well as the state's beloved Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers (of whom the players belong to the NFL Players Association which is the answer to why today's pro athletes can't hold a candle to their predecessors. But I digress.)

And surely, despite expected support for the Governor's proposal from the Assembly Republicans, surely the unions could rely on the Democrats to help their cause, right? Unfortunately for the unions, the Assembly Democrats fled the state in droves to avoid the vote for greater fear of the voters and have not returned to Wisconsin as of late. (TDB - Typical Democrat Behavior).

My take on the whole thing regarding the unions is quite simple: JUST DON'T COME RUNNING TO ME! At a time when the federal government is taking countless amounts of taxpayer dollars to fund such atrocities like Obamacare, the states need to take a look at their budgets to see who is deserving and entitled to taxpayer dollars. In my opinion, the unions are not just on the bottom of the list, but don't even make the footnotes. Many of these workers get paid better than most in most states and don't pay for their own benefits. They wait every fiscal year for Congress and their state legislatures to pay for their pensions and benefits while our hard earned dollars get transfered. That's not right, that's a direct attack on our pursuit of happiness.

The bottom line is the government doesn't have money. The American people are struggling just to make ends meet. And for the union bosses demanding more money and power should make us ask ourselves "what makes them so special?". I'm not saying that the unions don't deserve their pensions or benefits. What I am saying is that the unions need to pay for it themselves. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and it's time that the unions learn that now.
