Putsch in America's Heartland

Scott Walker has done a Hitler.  For those who've forgotten, Germans elected Hitler on the theme that a minority was the source of all its economic problems.  Walker did the same.  Now, he's put Wisconsin's economy in the tank, and handed the 1%-ers even more wealth.

The unions negotiated lower wages in exchange for better health care and retirement.  Pure and simple.  The state of Wisconsin mismanaged, and short funded, those benefits.  Failure was guaranteed. 

Hitler did much the same.

Walker's union busting will only make Wisconsin worse, well on the way to being Alabama in the snow.  Don't be surprised to when Walker and fellow Right Wingnuts outlaw all unions in Wisconsin.  Mark my words.

Will Wisconsin's economy perk up in response?  Hardly.  State workers (well, those not needed to enforce a Police State, of course) now have 8% less income, transferred to the well to do.  Private sector employers now have a weapon to reduce salaries and wages.  In due time, and it won't be much, no one with a functional frontal cortex will work for the state.  Just as in Germany (now and then) and Britain, which wage war on the middle class as we speak, economic activity (GDP for countries) in Wisconsin will go down the tubes.  Like the propagandists they are, they will conjure up some new Enemy of the People.  I'll guess unwed mothers.  Yeah, kill them off, and all will be well.
