[P]ublic-policy corrections are required to address underfunding and to contain the risk of a taxpayer-financed bailout.

Troopers at the Tennessee Capitol had to forcibly carry out the seven protesters who were among a group who stood up during the Senate Commerce Committee hearing Tuesday and began chants about what they called “union busting” by the state Legislature.

September 30, the total U.S. debt will equal nearly $15.5 trillion, and for the first time since 1947, will surpass the total U.S. GDP. All of this red ink, according to Indiana Governor and possible GOP presidential candidate Mitch Daniels, is our new “Red Menace.”

S.C. Gov. Haley talks with Greta on the GOP governors campaign in support of Wisconsin Scott Walker’s fight with public unions and Obama’s stubbornness on Obamacare.

Walker is no newbie when it comes to collective bargaining.
