State of the Union...

The state of events in Wisconsin are hopefully a turning point in American government. Johna Goldberg has an excellent column on why public sector unions are so bad for the tax payers of this country.

Even Roosevelt (the FDR variety) understood there was conflict of interest in public sector unions. While I am not a fan of labor unions, they have served a purpose over the years. However, the private sector unions could only go so far as to bankrupt a company. In the case of public sector unions, they can bankrupt states and that is a totally different matter.

I hope Wisconsin stays the course and doesn't cave like Indiana. We can only be so lucky as to replace B Hussein with someone who will be equally vigilant in DC post 2012.
