Wisconsin Dems & Unions vs. Repubs

[filkertom]

Union employees from all over the state of Wisconsin have been protesting for the past two days, as the Republican-controlled state Senate prepared to vote on a plan to cut salaries, health insurance, pensions and bargaining rights for state employees. Well, the vote has been delayed, because every Democratic member has left -- not only the Senate chamber, but apparently the state.

All of this is made more interesting by the grudge against Madison, WI seemingly held by Governor Scott Walker.

Could it be that all these austerity-for-thee-but-not-me measures might finally be hitting the tipping point, where the general populace says That's Enough Dammit?
