Sen. Dale Schultz has proposed a "compromise" to the state employee union standoff: Unions agree to the governor's demands for wage and benefit cuts (which they already have), and the governor's edict against collective bargaining would sunset in 2013.
Fine, but who in their right mind would trust Gov. Scott Walker to keep that promise? His wealthy manipulators would not allow that.
He has lost all credibility, and Republican credibility has gone with it. State, county and municipal employees would be foolish to take Walker at his word and accept the Schultz plan.
This is no longer about breaking unions. We are seeing the beginning of the end of right wing extremism in the GOP. This is the awakening of a sleeping giant, the vast middle class finally realizing that trickle up economics only takes money from working people and sends it up to the wealthy financiers controlling government. And only massive collective action by ordinary people can correct it.
We need a strong, vibrant Republican party that serves all Americans, not the corporate-controlled party represented by Walker and his servile GOP colleagues in the Legislature.
