Well done Gov Scott Walker of Wisconsin!

[longfingernails]

Finally, the venal public sector unions have gotten their just deserts, if only in a small corner of the world.

Gov Walker has shown inspired leadership, and is surely a contender for the GOP Presidential nomination.

We could do with someone of his mettle here - often, Cameron is far too consensual for his own good - not because he lacks steel, but he just has too much of the misguided noblesse oblige sense of "fair play".

Anyway, if Gov Walker continues in this vein, he may one day be spoken of in the same breath as Thatcher and Reagan!

Do you say the same for those claiming any sort of benefit?

Oh don't make the poor woman froth.

I doubt that she will froth.

She no doubt pays someone a low wage to do that for her.

Never heard of him so googles

"As a prime example, they repealed Wisconsin?s pay equity enforcement law, which allowed victims of discrimination access to state courts to seek less-costly redress. Due to pay discrimination against women, the repeal will allow offending employers to keep $8 billion dollars a year in their own pockets that rightfully belongs to working women and their families. What?s more, if the Equal Pay Enforcement Act was still law, and Wisconsin?s wage gap disappeared, the State of Wisconsin would collect an additional $1.1 billion in income taxes from women workers every biennium. This money could have gone a long way toward offsetting the unprecedented cuts to public education, healthcare, and worker training programs put forth by Gov. Walker and his allies.

Unfortunately, repealing Wisconsin?s pay equity law has only been the tip of the iceberg. Gov. Walker and Republican legislators also targeted women?s access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control and health care access overall under Wisconsin?s successful BadgerCare program. They eliminated comprehensive sex education in our schools, restricted private insurance coverage for women?s health services and further interfered with the relationship between a woman and her doctor. Furthermore, Republican legislators voted against restoring hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for sexual assault victims services that they cut in the budget, and Walker himself stated that he wants to make abortion illegal ? even when the mother?s life is in danger, or for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest."

Gosh yes he sounds really super

My bolding didn't work
This is what I meant to bold

"Furthermore, Republican legislators voted against restoring hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for sexual assault victims services that they cut in the budget, and Walker himself stated that he wants to make abortion illegal ? even when the mother?s life is in danger, or for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest."

As I say, he sounds simply marvellous. What a guy!

Jeez.
