There is where the gov needs to go on tv w pie charts, and lay out the facts on this.

[Scanian]

I agree...Republicans and conservatives do a very poor job of using the media, either because of the costs involved or because some stations and networks won’t sell them time.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Unfortunately, this is a fight which must be fought and won against the public employee unions. There is a reality that cannot be reversed. The states are becoming financially insolvent.

Wisconsin is a rerun of Greece.

The party is over and the money is gone.

The governor of Wisconsin is delivering the grim truth that many don't want to here.

Say what ypu want about perot - but he very effectively got his message across with his presentations. We need something like that.

I think I see the issue here.

[ROTB]

That pic is from the 2nd LOTR movie.

I forgot about the “300” at Thermopylae.
