Trumka dive bombs into Wisconsin
The actions of Wisconsin state government union officials outraged the nation but have managed to gain the support of AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka who plans to rally his troops on the ground this weekend. The protesters have also gained another supporter — President Obama.
Demonstrating he has no commitment to making the tough choices needed to balance a budget, the president called the efforts to reform the state budget in the Badger state as an “assault on unions.” Frankly its outrageous.
Union activists have called Gov. Scott Walker “Hitler” and compare him to Egyptian president Mubarak. Of course, Walker was elected by the people to get the state’s fiscal house in order and he takes his responsibilities seriously — unlike the president and his union allies who believe the solution to every problem is to raise taxes and expand forced unionism privileges.
