I heard an interesting commentary from Mike Church on Syrius while enroute home. He pointed out that the Wisconsin governor is not calling for reducing the public sector unionized workforce which is probably what he should be doing. We know from our friends at the Mackinac Center that Michigan public sector employment and their wages have grown in the last eight or so years while people have fled Michigan. Mr. Rick Snyder has not proposed reducing public sector employment--not directly anyway. He has some overseer or something probably looking at it, but no hard proposals. He has also repeatedly stated that, in essence, he isn't really interested in taking on the unions in any serious manner.

It would come as no surprise if Maobama rides in as the savior with piles of Federal cash at the end of the day to pull Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states back from the edge. Since Snyder has already taken Federal money to fight the evil capitalist moneybags Matty Maroun over the DRIP bridge, or whatever it's called, it's a pretty safe bet he'd be glad to steal some more of our tax dollars (TARP, ARRA, THEFT, MAOBAMAMONEY?) with lots of strings attached. He is a friend of Milliken and Joe Schwartz. We'll see how the other governor's spines react to the dollars if I'm right.
