I stumbled upon this transcript of Rachel Maddow's take on the situation in Wisconsin. it is really long- so feel free to read as much as you want. After reading this transcript- I then wanted to read the other side- as her side is very opinoiated with the liberal democratic view that Wiconsin is steady financially and that this union budget cut is not a fiscal issue but a political one. She thinks that the Republican governor is just trying to probe his way into seeing which way the elections are going to sway.
On the contrary- This article states the other sides opinion. This is an article from the Wall Street Journal that I scanned it in. It narrows in on discussing specifically what teachers in Wisconsin are getting financially and all their extra benefits and it breaks it down so that the budget cut doesn't seem so far fetched.
I found this situation in Wisconsin a perfect example of the necessity of both sides to the story.
I think that it should be frowned upon that throughout this whole situation whether you are pro or against the cut- the teachers are boycotting and protesting and in that not educating which is ridiculous. They are not going to get there way and pushing education out of the way is not the answer.
