You talk about the cuts as cuts to unions as if it was only the Democrats' doing...when in fact, it's PTA moms and dads who don't want programs cut mid-year for the kids in class...it's property taxpayers who know that a cut in state aid to local schools means higher property taxes next year...people with parents in nursing homes who know that mid-year cuts will make their seniors' lives worse off....it's poor and middle class college students who rely on TAP aid that will be cut. It suits the Republican agenda to a) Blame the Democrats for everything - although they held the Senate for 41 of the last 42 years - and held the Governorship and delivered 12 of the last 15 budgets, including those that gave away the store to the Health Care Unions in 2002. b) Vote NO on everything on the belief that they are not responsible to negotiate or compromise on anything.
