Walker cuts $300 million from university budget then gives $200 million to the NBA

[mikegriffith1]

Oh, boy. The silliness has started. Most universities should have their bloated budgets cut--even slashed. And the money for a new facility for the Milwaukee Bucks will more than be repaid in taxes and fees over the years.

Walker turned a deficit into a surplus and cut taxes at the same time. He also imposed some sanity on state labor contracts (basically, he just brought them in line with federal labor contracts, but you'd never guess that to hear all the screaming from the left).

 

[BluesLegend]

you know as little about this as you know about most subjects. $50/hr to put on lug nuts is not a reasonable wage. Most of todays UAW labor is low or minimum skill labor.

GM and Chrysler went broke for a couple of reasons, their products sucked and their labor costs were excessive.

If they had been allowed to go through bankruptcy, then those huge companies would have been broken up into smaller more efficient units. Each new company would have had to have a union representation election of its workers, that scared the shit out of the UAW management fat cats, so they got obozo to bail out the companies in exchange for their poliical support, money, and votes.

Thats what it was about.

Auto workers were not getting rich. And lug nut guys did not make $50 an hour

Without a government bailout, the auto companies never would have recovered. The banks were collapsing at the time. There was no money outside of the government to fund a restructure.

Obama saved the auto sector. For less than we paid for the republican government shutdown, we saved the auto companies

bullshit, do you have any idea how a structured bankruptcy of a large corporation works?

on the shutdown, the GOP did not do it, obama did it. no one in the GOP had the power or authority to shut down the govt, Obama did it as part of a political game--------which he lost.

Stop rewriting history

Republicans threatened to shut down government, republicans voted to shut down government and republicans bragged about it after they shut it down

I'll show you a shut down, we shut down the Democratic party in congress BOOM!

Yes you did......and what do you have to show for it

When Democrats took over congress in 2008 they passed monumental legislation.
What have the Republicans done? Vote for the 58th time to repeal Obamacare?

According to you libs the GOP is destroying the poor and middle class and women, gays, the elderly, waging wars on behalf of the rich...yet you are saying the GOP is unable to do anything? Why the contradiction, somebody is lying my money is on liberals.

Stop rewriting history

Republicans threatened to shut down government, republicans voted to shut down government and republicans bragged about it after they shut it down

Thats not true. Obama shut it down because the GOP minority in congress would not kowtow to him.

Rather than try to work with them i.e. do his job. He shut it down.

Tell us who in the GOP had, or has, the authority to shut down the govt. Who in the GOP had the authority to shut down national monuments? NO ONE, OBAMA DID IT.

By law, Obama cannot operate the government without funding

Republicans allowed that funding to expire. The GOP controlled House had that authority to approve a continuing resolution. Monuments were shut down because they could not be justified as an essential government function

nope, you have it wrong, obama refused to talk, refused to negotiate, said "its my way or no way". The shutdown was totally on him.

But, having said that, the shutdown hurt no one. except the old vets who wanted to visit the memorials.

The man child cry baby in the oval office threw a hissy fit and intentionally tried to make the shut down as disruptive as possible by closing memorials and parks, etc. This was sickening behavior for a supposed chief executive.

Man child? Code for "boy". Say what you mean or you look like chickenshit.

Al Sharpton is that you? lol

What is there to talk about in a continuing resolution? You either vote to keep government going at existing funding or you don't
Republicans voted no

Yes, they stood behind the constitution rather that temporary political posturing. The constitution requires an annual budget, not a series of CRs

Actually, they bypassed the constitution and attempted to use a continuing resolution to rewrite the budget

where do you get this shit? does it come directly into your head from kos and MSNBC?

the only budget the obama submitted, other than the one submitted last month, was rejected by democrats.

He has been using CRs for 6 years rather than step up and do his job.

True, you also won't see that in a non-union car plant in the south. Can you say BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Subaru, or VW? Non--union, good pay, good benefits, good products.

The UAW created the adversarial relationship that you correctly mentioned.

No, I think that would be GM aiming machine guns at the Flynt Workers.

Here's the thing. All those foriegn companies you mention make most of their cars intheir home countries with union laborers.

They maybe let Cleetus and Billy Bob do some final assembly. But not until a Union worker back home has gotten the assembly thing down to a science do they let the idiots in Jesus-Land have a go at it.

your patronizing bias and bigotry are noted. You are a typical dem/lib. full of shit, lies, and failed talking points. Your posts are a waste of time.

Question: If GM made good cars then why did they need a government bailout?

Answer: They need a government bailout because nobody wanted their shitty cars at the bloated price needed to pay the UAW to build it.

The UAW already made a lot of concessions to the bad management of GM before the Bailout.

It didn't help.

You see, again, the real problem is that GM had a adversarial relationship with their workers. Something you'd never see in a Japanese plant.

It didn't help because the the concessions were minimal and didn't address the 600 lb gorilla in the room which was the bloated pensions and benefits for retirees.

The bailout was not to give money to the company but to steal money from the bondholders and taxpayers to give money to the UAW pension fund, which was payback for the money the unions gave Obama and the Democrats during the campaign.

Since you are a Moon Bat then you are probably on welfare and don't pay federal income tax. However, for the remote possibility that you are one of these rare Libtards that actually have an income that is tax then how does it feel to know that Obama used your hard earned money to pay bloated pensions to UAW workers?

If you have a 401K then the fund may have had GM or Chrysler bonds, which means you got doubled fucked.

They stole money from you didn't they? Maybe next time you will think a little bit and won't help elect scumbags like Obama that will steal your money and give to other people. Are you going to continue to be a dumbasss in the future or are going to get your head out of your ass the next time you vote? I will bet you will continue to be a dumbass.

previous congresses have gotten together, set up conference committees, and gotten the peoples work done. Reid did not do any of that, in fact he refuses to set up conference committees, allow any budget discussion on the floor of the senate, and pigeon holed every budget bill sent to him.

If you want to blame someone for no budgets, blame Reid. and I am sure he was responding to orders from his master, obama.

Conservatives and education

Rush Limbaugh: Never finished college
Sean Hannity: Never finished college
Glen Beck: Never finished college
Scott Walker: Never finished college

All seek to destroy our education system.

Book learn'n ....who needs it?

and yet all are successful at what they do.....hey just sayin....

So is Justin Beiber

so you agree than that just because you did not go to collage and get a degree you can still be very successful .....

It would be a question of cause and effect

Doesn't prove their success was based on not going to college. Using the small percentage of outliers does not prove your point

so you agree than that just because you did not go to collage and get a degree you can still be very successful
its a yes or no question RW....

i have had those shitty GM cars since 1990 and have never had any problem with any of them....

The two Jeep Grand Cherokees that I bought for my wife both fell apart in less than 100K while the Highlanders I bought for her lasted past 200K. The last GM car we bought we had to get rid of after 70K because it was always in the shop with something or another.

Question: If GM made good cars then why did they need a government bailout?

Answer: They need a government bailout because nobody wanted their shitty cars at the bloated price needed to pay the UAW to build it.

they all lasted for me for years and i know and knew many others who had the same experience with theirs...i have a 2007 HHR right now.....no problems....still going good...
