If Shakespeare were a GOP governor

Especially a new blue-state one, he'd be says, "First, we kill all the unions."

Right-to-work laws have NOTHING to do with state budgets and deficits. It's clear that this is a wet-dream opening for an anti-employee party that it hasn't seen since the likes of St. Ronald of Reagan 30 years ago.

As for unfunded pension liabilities? Those fall on nonunionized as well as unionized retirees, and the lack of funding won't be addressed one thin dime by a state passing a right-to-work law.

That said, the AFL-CIO has its work cut out for it on dealing with this crap. You can help. Don't let wingnuts lie to you when they raise issues like this.

Beyond that, since it's clear the GOP at the Washington level simply doesn't care about deficits, why would the statehouse GOP be different on other mattes of fiscal trutihness?
