In an effort to close Wisconsin’s $3.6 billion budget gap and prevent up to 6,000 layoffs for state employees, one solution that newly elected Gov. Scott Walker apparently had the ‘audacity’ to introduce was a bill that would effectively limit union workers’ collective salary bargaining rights.

For introducing such a bill, here’s what Walker gets from the government-dependent union wing of the Democrat Party (with a nice comparison of the head hypocrites call for ‘civility’):
Then we’ve got high school students who admit teachers brought them to the protests but have no idea why they’re there!
…so no classes are going on right now in Madison because all teachers have called in sick. Great.
The numbers man, Paul Ryan, calls it right:

How civil, huh?
