Most important, however, because in the end reality prevails. As economist Herb Stein once put it: Something that can’t go on, won’t.

This is something the EU and all investors hoping for an easy remedy for Greece, Spain et al need to take to heart.

The sh!t IS gonna hit the fan...be prepared!

In fact, hey Obama...word to yo mama!

Regarding the FDR reference, he had that opinion until he needed the regular labor movement to destroy the Communist union organizers then infiltrating the government ranks.

The union people did the job; the Commies disappeared; Roosevelt paid up with a couple of executive orders, one of which was to allow government employees to write their Congressmen.

Oh, yeah, and he gave government employees a raise ~ I have the pen used to sign his first, last and only pay raise.

Oviously the AFL-CIO and its affiliates have let too many hard core leftists into their own structure these days but another President could make a deal just like FDR did ~ otherwise their public labor unions will wither up and die like they are in Indiana, and shortly will in Wisconsin.

I'm sure the union guys know how to deal with commies if they really want to.

It would be appropriate if commentators made clear that the actions were taken against public sector unions and not private industrial unions. Public sector employment has evolved as a sinecure in this country. Taxpayers are not as much served as they are serfed. Their sole purpose is to provide ever expanding pay, benefits and pensions for privileged workers who are immune from economic realities. Walker’s victory thus far the most pivotal for American culture in the 21st century.

The public union thuglets have been ripped away from the free money teat. With the new rules, the rank and file have to choose to pay dues and a great many are saying, “NO THANKS”.

I believe “Wisconsin” comes from the indian word meaning “land of cheese”. Ask Lizzie Warren.

This was a another great column by Krauthammer.

The populace had no idea that Union dues were deducted automatically from their checks for the Unions regardless of their “choice” or that employment was so contingent of joining a Union.

This is just one of the things that we all got smacked up side the head with because if Wisconsin. When the truth of what the Unions and ‘Rats were doing came to light they LOST. I love seeing AFSME losing 50% of their members when they get the choice of whether they WILLINGLY wasn't to be members of a union.

They will continue to lose.
