Only in an upside down topsy turvy world, would budgetary success and jobs saved result in someone possibly losing their job. That is exactly what Governor Walker [1]of Wisconsin is facing right now. Because he dared to challenge and successfully reform collective bargaining laws for public sector employees, he is facing a recall election. The only reason that people would ever recall a governor is corruption right? Wrong.
The following video is a commerical by It’s Working Wisconsin [2] and it chronicles the reform measure’s successes. That’s right, I said successes.

The longer, historically detailed video is available for viewing here [3].
To clarify: Budgets previously in deficit, are now in surplus. Teachers that were fearing layoffs, are now secure. And the taxpayers are not facing tax increases in a down economy. Fiduciary responsibility yields fiscal prosperity!
So in response, the Dems (Fleebaggers [4]) are whining and plan to recall Governor Walker, because in their world, you punish success and work as hard as you possibly can to bring back failure! I mean, if teachers keep their jobs, and the budget shows a surplus, well that’s just wrong people!!!! Yawn…
Send Governor Walker your prayers and if you can, donate to his fight [5]. His is a success story that should be celebrated. Too bad we are living in bizarro world until November 2012…
