发帖数: 61690 | 1 Washington (CNN) - Republican Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan compared the protests
in his state's capital to those in Egypt that led to the resignation of
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"He's (Gov. Scott Walker) getting riots, it's like Cairo's moved to Madison
these days," Ryan said Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Thousands protested in the capital city Tuesday and Wednesday over a bill
that would strip Wisconsin public employees of most of their collective
bargaining rights and have them pay dramatically more for benefits.
Walker said he is dealing with a budget crisis, which includes a $137
million shortfall, and Ryan supported the newly elected Republican governor,
saying he's "not asking a lot."
"He's basically saying I want you public workers to pay half of what our
private sector counter parts are, and he's getting riots," Ryan said. "
People should be able to express their way, but we've got to get this
deficit and debt under control in Madison if we want to have a good business
climate and job creation in Wisconsin."
According to Walker's press secretary, Cullen Werwie, the controversial
legislation is expected to reach the state Senate on Thursday and, possibly,
the Assembly (lower chamber) on Friday. | d*****l
