Scott Walker- So this is what we wanted?


Over 10,000 protesters sat at the steps of Wisconsin's State Capital in Madison, WI. Public schools were closed down due to teachers calling off work to stage a "sickout". Walker plans to cut collective bargaining rights for state workers. Walker says that we are at a point of crisis, and need to help balance a 3.6 billion budget shortfall to avoid widespread layoffs. If the plan goes through, workers will have to pay half of their pensions and have higher health care premiums. What are your thoughts?
