Wisconsin Gov. Attacks Public Employees & Unions; Threatens to Use National Guard To Quell Protests |
| Democracy Now! 15 February 2011 Recently elected Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker has proposed a bill that would eliminate almost all collective bargaining rights for most public workers and slash their pay and benefits. Walker has also notified the state's National Guard to be on alert for actions taken by unsatisfied state, county and municipal employees. On Monday, hundreds of protesters marched on the State Capitol in Madison, with more protests being planned. Democracy Now! interviews John Nichols of The Nation magazine and Brad Lutes, a Wisconsin public school teacher. Nichols warns the governor's actions could have national ramifications: [quote]If Governor Walker pulls this off, if he succeeds in taking away collective bargaining rights from the union, AFSCME, which was founded in Wisconsin back in the 1930s, if he takes down one of the strongest and most effective teachers unions, WEAC, in the country, then we really are going to see this sweep across the United States.[end quote] | |

Obama's $3.7 Trillion Budget Calls for Military Spending Increases and Deep Cuts to Social Programs |
| Democracy Now! President Obama has unveiled a budget plan seeking to trim the federal deficit by cutting or eliminating some 200 federal programs, many dedicated to social services and education, while increasing military spending and funding for the construction of nuclear power plants. Announcing his $3.7 trillion proposal, Obama touted his previously stated pledge to freeze funding for domestic programs outside of the military for five years. Obama's plan includes two modest tax hikes for banks and oil companies. It also calls for ending the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in 2013 and returning the estate tax to its higher 2009 levels. For analysis of Obama's proposed budget, Democracy Now! interviews John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine. | |
