If they are in it for the money, they chose wrong. If they don't like their already over-generous benefits package, they are free to look for more beneficial work.<br /><br /> I thought they chose to be teachers to help "the Children".<br /><br />If they are as intelligent as they seem to think they are, why don't they understand that Walker is only asking this small sacrifice to help the entire state of Wisconsin?<br /><br />This isn't a collective bargaining issue. It's a selfishness and greed issue.

But as one reporter said, those numbers for pensions in most states have been so massages that the reported numbers are probably way low.<br /><br />I hope all states follow through and we get this discrepancy is 'rights' changed.<br /><br />In a very disturbing turn, apparently three or more doctors are passing out generic 'excuses for absence' from class for the teachers there, so that they will not be fired for being absent or lying about being sick.<br /><br />While this may not be illegal (and I'm not sure about that, it could be), my hubby says it is certainly unethical for any physician to sign any document like that without having examined and treated the patient.<br /><br />According to reports the doctors are simply walking around, asking people's names and date of birth, filling out the one page form, and signing it. What is the US coming to when things like this happen?<br /><br />I believe those doctors could be in trouble, if in fact they really are doctors.<br /><br />Debbie<br />Right Truth<br />http://www.righttruth.typepad.comRight Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274108313586611205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-16035238756709941532011-02-19T15:50:12.463-06:002011-02-19T15:50:12.463-06:00"Tennessee, the Next Wisconsin?"

For instance the best known organisation expousing this system, the German party led by Adolf Hitler was called the National Socialist German Workers' Party.<br />Now you have a "Charismatic leader" with union thugs on his side in America.If ever a President needed empeachment it's here and now in order to save America.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987737871351359966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-1192904751028877192011-02-19T11:02:53.495-06:002011-02-19T11:02:53.495-06:00Since Mr. Obama has been horrible at being preside...Since Mr. Obama has been horrible at being president, he is now doing what he knows best - community organizing. This is what injecting himself into what essentially is a local affair is all about. The fact that he, Pelosi and Jackson have jumped on the bandwagon only confirms what is obviously the corrupt and deceitful nature of these "protests" <br /><br />Gee, wasn't Queen Pelosi the one who made disparaging remarks about average citizens peacefully protesting the administration's polices? <br /><br />"This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it's not really a grass-roots movement. It's AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class,"<br /><br />"They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."<br /><br />All without proof. In the meantime, hypocrite Pelosi gives a pass to protestetrs who are hurling invective and calling their opposition invectives and slurs like Hitler, Mussolini etc.<br /><br />As a historian, I can say that the country has not been this divided since 1860-61. Obama is clearly the Great Divider. But that's what community organizers, not presidents, do.Alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764752508206031685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-45307534264791466932011-02-19T10:14:17.812-06:002011-02-19T10:14:17.812-06:00I do believe what the teachers are doing is called...I do believe what the teachers are doing is called "a wild-cat strike" and is specifically banned in their collective bargaining agreement.
