GOP plan: Help banker, hurt Children
Let's see if I understand the current GOP position. The average bonus on wall Street this year was $128,000 (bonus only!) after we bailed out the big banks and extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Now let's eliminate collective bargaining for teachers, whose average annual salary is $48,000.

If they can't break the unions, then lay off teachers and increase class size from 25 to 60 students. The Republicans reward their banking friends who helped them get elected at the expense of our children's education. So much for our future.
