more proof that this isn't about the money, it's all about busting the union.. from the gov's on lips this time..

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) is not planning to make concessions to end the budget standoff any time soon, he indicated on "Fox News Sunday."

"We're going to take this as long as it takes," he said. "In the end we're doing the right thing for Wisconsin."

He said proposals to resolve the budget dispute without reining in union power would not suffice and are simply "red herrings" because they would not fix underlying problems.

there you have it... the uh, 'reigning in union power' saves how much money? What's the price tag of that?  the unions have said they will take the pay cuts, conceding to paying their share of their pension and insurance.. that's what this was supposed to be about.. paying for the tax cut off their backs.. they gave in and said OK, we'll play.. but we want to keep our bargining rights..

nope.

no compromise..

this Gov never wanted the money.. he wanted to bust the unions and he just admitted it.. as for why? well here's his wet dream..

"Wisconsin potentially could be leading the way when it comes to budgetary and fiscal reform in this country," he said.

as old school darth would say 'spurt-spurt-spuuuuuuurrrrtttt aahhh yeah baby,king of the world!"
