Wisconsin Scene Is Turning Public Against Gov. Unions

[AAAintheBeltway]

Quote from cgroupman:

In keeping with my attempt to see both sides of most equations, I thought I would render this. I'm not sure that I agree that public employees, who we, as US citizens, hire, need to have those same hires form a Union to charge them, which is US, dues to come up with compensation plans between the same US.

Not sure if that makes any sense, but if we simply set up fair compensation plans for employees then we might eliminate the need for unions in the public sector. The key word is, of course, fair.

Do we pay our military enough? Are they taken well enough care of in their retirement, disability time? I'm not so sure.

Then, if we just mandate what salaries will be, and what compensation packages will be, then, yes, accusations of Socialism. This can be a tough one.

Other thoughts?

I believe I can help you.

If you are able to hire enough well-qualified employees, then you are paying an adequate wage. If you have trouble hiring people, then you need to review your compensation/benefit levels.

"Fair" is not an economic concept. It is a values judgment used to obscure the real issue. How do you define "fair"? If it "fair" to taxpayers to pay more than is necessary to get the job done? Isn't that the definition of "waste?"

Looks like a comment from someone who doesn't understand the answer to a question he cannot even comprehend.

"So why hasn't Dumbo balanced the budget instead of spending even MORE than Bush? "

Simple question.

I think it's more a matter of simple questioner.

Apparently you don't like the answer so you deflect and avoid. Typical liberal tactics.

Quote from pspr:

"Let the fleebag/protest tactic drag on much longer, and the disapproval of the tactic climbs concurrently with disapproval of the unions behind it, creating what may turn out to be a tipping point in which the unions fall out of majority favor forever. If Gov. Walker holds strong and the bill gets passed, the unions are looking not at Wisconson, but at their Waterloo. And they know it."

Not quite. You don't like the first answer, so you ask again, hoping for a different one. Good luck with that.

You call this an answer? LOL

Quote from Gabfly1:
Here's a dollar. Go fix the biggest economic crisis since the great depression. There's still almost two hours and 15 minutes in the workday before the weekend. That should give you enough time. If you need another dollar let me know and I'll send one more. But don't get carried away.

I tried to equate the response to the level of the question. Hope that helps.

You did a very poor job. Probably intentionally since you don't like the real answer.
