Hound, the people that elected the majority in the House did so in an effort to restore fiscal sanity. To date, their representatives efforts can at best be labelled modest, with the House plan calling for a reduction in the $67.3 billion weekly spending to $65.1 billion per week through the end of FY11. The Democrats, their socialist policies and their accompanying runaway spending pushed this nation to the brink of financial ruin. If there is a shut down of the non essential functions of the Federal Govt., the Dems are totally responsible. As for Wisconsin, it is a travesty. SEIU, AFSCME, and OFA busing paid people in for protests, teachers staging illegal walkouts, doctors handing out notes to the striking teachers, 32% of eighth grade students reading at grade level with 66% less than proficient, yet being FORCED to contribute 12% of HC costs and 5% toward their pension is deemed an "assault on unions" by our dictator in training pants. A most frequent visitor to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is Richard Trumka, averaging 3 visits weekly, and daily contact with Obama. Look at O's appointments to the NLRB, FCC, WH Advisors, various assistant Sec's., and even the debt reduction commission featuring Andy Stern. Look at the list of registered White House lobbyists and you will see that current or former union leaders comprise about 40% of the list, yet US union membership is less than 10%. I wish Governor Walker 100% success with his initiatives on right to work and limits on public employee collective bargaining. Along with that, I hope that at some point the Federal and States governments will move to a "pay for performance" model in every non essential position.
