Are The Wild Teacher Protests In Wisconsin A Prelude To The Economic Riots Coming To America?

We have gotten to the point where it is inevitable that the debt bubble that we have created is going to burst. Our politicians can try to delay it for a while, but in the end the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down.

Just said the same thing over here:

What we are witnessing right now in Wisconsin are just the "birth pains".
I'd classify them as "death rattles." By staying firm, GOP governors can end this liberal madness, and sane people can get take the country back.

Doubtful... private sector workers tend to value their jobs more than union people.

I think that it is most likely this is the beginning of the end in terms of American unity.

For whatever reason, many Americans truly desire communism. And I don't just mean in a political system fashion.

Due to our infiltrated public schools and universities, there are multiple generations of young people who are truly sold on the core ideology and identification with/of jealousy as a core character trait.

Plumbers, green market farmers, general slackers, garbage men, electricians, metal workers, construction people, teachers all believe they genuinely deserve the same rewards in life that a CEO, VP, Broker, Dr. do. Suggesting anything else is now formally and in stone equate with "Greed".

When the entire 1988+ birth date generations feel this way, there isn't much hope but for a non-violent union break up eventually (2025..2030).


We have not taught the core values of hard-work, input-output reward, determination,self-responsibility, genuine happiness for the success of others (love thy neighbor), and acceptance of the risk vs reward/meritocracy life status system.

If you don't have a buy in, or even a coherent understanding of the meritocracy, you don't even have a chance. And these generations don't (and many people from older ones as well).

It is sad, but glaringly true.

No

Union gatherings are top down

Riots are bottom up.

If these protesting teachers were just given what they want and then Wisconsin goes bankrupt what do they think would be the result? I assume they all would loose their jobs. This whole protest is just a union mob demanding the rest of the state pay for their gravy train.

Sad is the word. I grew up in a free country. Glad I did. It was fun. Todays conservatives have no spunk. Just a bunch of whiners who listen to the likes of Karl Rove. Disgusting.

The question is: WHO BENEFITS?

will NEVER get any rationing.

Union thuggery on display for all to see. Let 'em hoot and holler to their hearts content. It won't change the economic reality one iota. Notice how the laimstream media isn't talking about how much money the teachers, er, uh, I mean educators make in Wisconsin? Wonder why that is?

[baddog 219]

Fire their behinds if they are not back to work by Monday. Or dock their paychecks for every day they aren't teaching. Call in the Guard to replace the teachers. After all, these hateful protesters are hurting the children.

There's that word again, UNSUSTAINABLE, it's getting as much use these days as is 'unexpectedly.'

Sure would hate to see those “quality” union-thug-built WI statehouse balconies collapse under the weight of all those selfish, greedy, un-American socialist/communist union-thugs.

Pay me now or pay me later. There is no escaping the pain. We have been living large on printed and borrowed money for too long that the day of reckoning has arrived.

Either way, I don;t see how protests like this one can be avoided in other states.

We still have the chance to get our budget under control, but EVERYONE HAS TO SACRIFICE ( government employees included ). There is no getting out of this.

Yes, this debate in Wisconsin will influence the national debate in the same way the Wisconsin state Capitol resembles another building:

Of course playing the ‘class warfare card’ at every opportunity just fans the flames..
