What does a State do when it has run out of money to spend?
Stay focused on the real issue here. The States cannot print money; they MUST balance their budgets. In Wisconsin, the choices to reduce spending are 1) reduce the benefits, or 2) cut positions.
Neither choice is ideal, but we do not live in a "Polly-Anna" world. Simply wishing something was so does not make it so. Is the Union position really that they would prefer to have people lose their jobs as opposed to the Union losing some clout?
