Before we destroy their movement, we will have seen first hand the difference between liberal grasshoppers, and swarming fascist locusts. Dare they scourge us? Obama is and the DNC-Unions are planning on it, its the only two cards they have left.Administrative union/ethnic violence card, and the race card.Cairo is coming to America.Obama pulled the same schtick in Nairobi in November of 2007.

how the House Dems crammed Obamacare down our throats..

or more to the point: how WI Dems crammed “Doyal Care” down WI taxpayers throats...

“Doyal Care” = taking care of Doyal, unions, and WI Dem party hacks.

No it's my screw-up. I found it and they are using the 14 incident to show their supporters they are fighting for them. It's legal contributions to the State Committee, sorry.

That is less than 10% of the total and I’m sure that payroll represents a lot more than 10% of the total budget.

This is just the start. Firefighters and law enforcement were exempted - for now. They'll be on the chopping block eventually. That's why Dems are fighting so hard to keep the camel's nose out of the tent. Once the nose gets in, it's only a matter of time before the entire camel is in there. Then the indirect funneling of taxpayer money to public sector then to union bosses then to sympathetic Dem politicians will end.

Public sector unions are the lifeblood of the Dem party-not only in funding, but in activism. There is no commensurate group with funding enough and people enough to fill the vacuum left by unions.

A good piece worth reading.

Ryan's Charge Up Entitlement Hill

......President Obama can't stop mentioning him. Only this week, the president justified his own failure to tackle entitlements in his dud of a 2012 budget by saying that "the chairman of the House Republican budgeteers didn't sign on" to the final report of Mr. Obama's deficit commission.

What are they all so afraid of?

"Did he really say that?" asks Mr. Ryan about the president, sitting in his House office this week after another day of the hearings he now runs as chairman of the House Budget Committee. "I'm actually flattered." Perhaps they're worried, he says, "because we put out more than just bromides and platitudes. We put out specifics."

He certainly has done that, most famously with his "Road Map" that is the full monty of conservative tax and entitlement reform. Mr. Ryan knows it won't pass, not even in the current GOP House, but he drew it up in 2009 to start a debate and show that a future of limited government was still possible. He adds that he opposed the Obama deficit commission report because it failed to do anything serious about health-care entitlements, and he proposed an alternative that the commission rejected. Mr. Obama has never proposed his alternative.......

......Mr. Obama dropped his budget this week that does almost nothing about everything. To call it a punt is unfair to the game of football. That abdication makes Mr. Ryan, by dint of his expertise and his influence with other Republicans, the most important fiscal voice in Washington. As supply-siders used to say—and Mr. Ryan came of political age as a protege of Jack Kemp—Mr. Ryan is now the man on the margin. He says he's determined not to waste the opportunity, notwithstanding the huge political risks.

What's the White House political calculation behind its budget? "The fiscal strategy is to hang on to all the government we've grown, and hopefully rhetoric will get us through the moment. It strikes me as a posture or position to keep the gains of the last two years in place—the bump up in discretionary spending, the creation of these new entitlements—to lock in their gains, bank their wins, and then hang on through the rest of this year. And they believe they have the flourishing rhetorical skills to navigate the politics in the meantime," Mr. Ryan says. ......

....Paradoxically, however, he says the president's budget has helped Republicans. By failing to lead with such a loud thud, Mr. Obama has helped the cause of reformers within the House GOP. Some in the leadership had been wary of taking on entitlement reform—that's Medicaid, Medicare and perhaps Social Security—but this week tipped them over the edge.

"We have a lot of fiscal conservatives here. We have a determined caucus. . . . That is very helpful. We have a fiscal reality that is obvious and we have a president who is failing to lead. We feel duty bound to lead ourselves," he says.

Along with conference chairman Kevin McCarthy, Mr. Ryan has been doing an internal road show for all 87 House freshmen and many senior members on the looming debt and entitlement crackup, three sessions a week, six or eight members at a time, 10 minutes of PowerPoint, 50 minutes of questions and "listening."

He rolls out a chart comparing the debt trajectory under Mr. Obama's fiscal 2010 budget (a line shooting almost straight up) and the GOP alternative he offered last year (a relatively flat line sending it back down from its Obama peaks). "That's the chart that always gets them," he says. Reforming Medicaid alone won't get the deficit and debt on a downward path, he says. You have to tackle Medicare too. .......

(PING TO IMPORTANT BEHIND the scenes fiscal news!)

See post #29 and link

Thanks for the great reference on Ryan. Its great to see what is fueling the GOP freshmen.

Ryan is providing an incredible service to the country:

A road map on the disassembly of the OBAMA debacle, and a plan for fiscal sanity.

Because of Ryan the GOP House has a leg up and a quick start out of the blocks for this session.

I hadn’t heard about those two. NO wonder the unions and Dems are having such a hissy fit! We’re going to take away their Cash Cow!

Oh yeah.

Just do the math. There are about 300,000 union contributors in WI having about $1,000 per year DEDUCTED FROM THEIR PAY CHECKS, which is THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS paid to the union thugs.

If just 30% of the folks don't voluntarily pay their dues the union and the demonRATS will be out $100,000,000 and that's real money.

What if half of the folks opt out? The unions will be screwed and they know it.

That's why this is a fight that Scott Walker must win.

Not only would union dues not be collected by the state and they become voluntary, but the unions would have to hire people to do manage the collection. That’s a lot harder than just getting a deposit from the state. And the state could probably lay off the people who have been doing this work up to now.
