What I find amusing is that the Wisconsin governor is promising not to lay off anyone if he gets this way. I'm sure nobody is buying that malarkey. If I were Governor, this is what I'd be doing once I got my way:
1) Fire everyone who had protested due to being "troublemakers" and "working against the best interests of the state of Wisconsin and its citizenry". 2) Institute a 30% mandatory pay cut for all remaining public sector employees. Designate their pension and health insurance plans as 'legacy' and not available for new employees. 3) Hire replacements for the people I fired at half the salary of what the positions were previously. Minimal health benefits possible, preferably with $5-10K deductible mandatory. No pension or 401K. 4) Any who complains will be painted as "liberal big government" while my cuts will be lauded as "essential to maintaining the balanced budget of the state".
