    guess I'm watching too much football on TV--this is not new. Koch was doing this by the end of last season too.

    It's a shame that the Catholic University of America accepted Koch monies to teach a business model that goes against Catholic Social Doctrines especially in light of what the Holy Father is trying to do. This keeps being swept under the rug when it is a glaring example of the betrayal of the University to the principals it is to be run.

    Yes, there are people who defraud the system, but that is found in everything. Should you be restricted from receiving a credit card just because others commit credit card fraud? I would say your answer would be "no". Well, it's the same thing with unemployment. Wisconsin is an at will state, so employers can terminate someone for basically any reason. A truly dedicated employee can work his fingers to the bone, just to get fired for something minor. However, in the eyes of the employer, it was a major issue. Therefore, could result in that person not being eligible to receive much deserved unemployment benefits. I feel this is wrong, and is actually going to hurt the citizens of Wisconsin because the unemployed need to eat too, and without the needed benefits, the economy suffers, along with many individuals and families. Just remember too, that the person who is unemployed was employed before, and paid taxes and help fund unemployment benefits, so why don't they deserve to utilize it when it is necessary?

    Just a few facts that Walker (and possibly ALEC) overlooked. Federal union dues already cannot be used for political reasons by law. The federal workforce is an open shop, which means dues are voluntary.
