Could this be the Gov's problem?

Wonder what the 60% of teachers who DIDN'T call in sick think of this?

The way those GOP twits would like it is that we all have our number tattooed on our foreheads, work our arse off until we can't any longer, then die like the Gov of Colorado once opined. Note that it is always the ones with both front feet in the public trough who want to cut everyone else's bennies.

When you state that public sector wages and benefots have outstripped the private sector is one way of looking at the situation. ANother way, and a more accurate way of stating the problem is thhat private sector wages (for the woorkig stiff) have not kept pace with inflation, and in fact have declined relative to 15 years ago.
Now if y'all want to swallow the GOP lies hook line and sinker, go right ahead as it is interesting to watch considering that I always believed screwing oneself was a physical impossibility.

Wonder if the Republicans will change their campaign slogan from "you're taxes are too high" to "you're getting paid too much"?

Speaking as a former teacher the way to solve the problem is to get all the soi-dissent experts out of the f**king way and let teachers teach, and that include you too Arne.

I guess it takes guts to stand up to the "union-government complex." I'm also pretty sure it wasn't Tea - Party types who are responsible for this:

Some of us were pretty quick to rush to judgment about events in Tuscon recently. I'm not going there. All I'm suggesting is that I doubt the Tea Party is responsible. You have no idea what I want to believe...
...though I'd love to see a picture of Howard Dean running through the parking lot with a can of spray paint.
