Yep, this budget deficit really didn't exsist, note how quick they were to get around the quorum by taking out all the finance questions to hit what they really wanted, the collective bargaining rights.
And they can't say it's to benefit the public, because the unions that supported this gov, the police and firefighters were exempt, it's just a way to pit certain sectors of public employees against the others.
But it's nothing new from Republicans, after Regan fired all the air-traffic controllers, I guess we could see this inexorable slide to the death of unions, where people seriously ask, do we even need them anymore? Pathetic.
What makes me angry is the previous 'most selfish generation' they've sucked the country moving from hippies to yuppies to the entitled, they've got what they wanted, so fuck everyone else coming up after them.
