Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with
collective bargaining for teacher's unions? The results are in. Some school districts went from a
$400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result. Why?

It seems that the insurance company that provided all the "so-called" benefits to the teachers was
an insurance company owned and operated by the teacher's union. Since the outfit was guaranteed to
get the insurance business from the teachers, and the State had to pay for it (not the teachers) the
insurance company was increasing annual costs every single year to become the most expensive
insurance company in the state. Then the company was donating millions and millions of dollars to
its favorite democrat politicians who, when they got elected, guaranteed to keep funding the union's
outrageous costs. In other words, the insurance company was a "pass through" for Wisconsin taxpayer
money directly to the democrat politicians.

Nice racket, and this is the racket that is going on in every single State that allows collective
bargaining. No wonder the States are taking it away. Now the State of Wisconsin is free to put the
insurance contract out for bids and, lo and behold, they have saved so much money it has turned
deficits into surplus amounts.

As usual, you lie through your teeth at every opportunity. There was a
recall election. Two Republicans went down. Walker may follow. There
were no "violent and disgusting" demonstrations.
