Bill Maher to Poor People: Stop Thinking Your Interests are the Same as the Rich
"http://tv.gawker.com/#!5781426/bill-maher-to-poor-people-stop-thinking-your-interests-are-the-same-as-the-rich
We have this fantasy that our interests and the interests of the super-rich are the same. Like eventually the rich will get so full they will explode, and the candy will rain down on the rest of us. Like they are some kind of pinata of benevolence. But here is the thing about a pinata... it doesn't open on it's own... you have to beat it with a stick!" -Bill Maher March 12 2011

According to Paul Krugman,"A WPA-type program when you’re in a severe slump is more productive than most people imagine, but even if it isn’t very productive, it can do a lot to help the nation’s overall welfare, simply by putting people to work. And if the debt run up to pay for the program means higher taxes later, so? The monetary cost will have much less negative impact on public welfare than the unemployment that would have happened without that program."

Just last month, Senator Olsen said eliminating collective bargaining is "pretty radical." But then this week, Olsen voted for Governor Walker's backroom power grab to end collective bargaining.

What's News: Who are the best tweeps for following the 'FitzWalkerstan' saga?
What's News: Who are the best tweeps for following the 'FitzWalkerstan' saga?
CHRIS MURPHY | The Capital Times | cmurphy@madison.com madison.com | Posted: Monday, March 14, 2011 5:30 am
"Following the saga of Walker's budget repair bill has made me a Twitter addict. For a topic like this one, where news moves so quickly and on so many different fronts, it provides information faster than any other medium. Whether you're looking for on-the-ground accounts about what's happening at the Capitol, pronouncements from officials or takes from the dozens of reporters and bloggers who are following the story, follow enough people on Twitter and you'll get a steady stream of updates, links and snarky takes.
Here are some of my favorites I've accumulated over the past three weeks. Please tell me yours.
@GovWalker, of course, is a must-follow. The governor tweets regularly and is understandably quick to call attention to editorials that take his side. For critics, his most infamous tweet was "Had some chili w/Tonette as we watched @AmericanIdol," which came shortly after his budget address in which he announced plans to cut the budgets of schools, municipalities and universities by hundreds of millions. It sounded like "let them eat cake" to his many critics."

UW Oshkosh creates ‘Save My UW’ campaign - The Advance-Titan - News
UW Oshkosh creates ‘Save My UW’ campaign - The Advance-Titan - News
"As an initiative to help inform the student body about the possibility of UW Madison splitting from the UW System, students and faculty passed out fliers and buttons that read, "Save My UW."
Assistant professor of economics Chad Cotti referred to the project as an uncontrived initiative. When news about Chancellor Biddy Martin's proposed deal with Gov. Scott Walker first broke, Cotti and several other faculty members closely followed the situation.
Cotti was surprised when he and his colleagues struck up a conversation with faculty who did not know what was happening. They were eager to learn, but nobody had presented the materials to them yet. This is when the "Save My UW" initiative was created. It wasn't planned or structured, but was more of an organic and spontaneous movement of faculty and students reaching out to their peers.
Timothy Suess, president of the Oshkosh Student Association, is another coordinator of the "Save My UW" initiative. Suess had also been involved with the promotion and creation of "Save My UW" materials and said his wish is for this to transcend from a student issue to a community issue through public awareness."

"UW System President Kevin Reilly is concerned the breakup would: produce unneeded competition for funding between campuses; lead to unnecessary duplication at the administrative level; and be a potential blow to the system's reputation.
UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin has continually stressed she does not believe this split would harm other state schools.
"I believe they're wrong," Reilly said of those who see no dangers in the breakup."TODD FINKELMEYER

"During his opening statement at a Senate Rules Committee hearing titled "Corporate America vs. The Voter," Senator Feingold said the Court's ruling has in effect "produced a Frankenstein -- the people created corporations, but the Court has denied the people the power to prevent corporations from dominating the political system."
