Making sense of Wisconsin's union showdown

The central political, economic and social challenge of the next decade will be to decide how we are going to apportion the adjustment among these various channels, and among the various classes and sectors and regions of the country, without tanking the economy or breaking the bonds that hold our society and our democracy together.

What's Your Take?

What do you think?

Public employee unions already have a right that none of their counterparts in the private sector has. They get to vote for the boss of bosses in their organization and then they get to "bargain" (wink, wink!) with him too. They already have MORE than enough with that. Its time to return to sanity.
