Wisconsin. There's an app for that.

Time columnist Joe Klein has an interesting take on the Wisconsin upheaval: "An election was held in Wisconsin last November. The Republicans won. In a democracy, there are consequences to elections and no one, not even the public employees unions, are exempt from that. There are no guarantees that labor contracts, including contracts governing the most basic rights of unions, can't be renegotiated, or terminated for that matter." Klein, a liberal, thinks public employees unions have probably become too powerful and irresponsible (he cites teacher unions) over the years. He's not for union-busting. But he sees the events in the Badger State as a "rebalancing of power that, after decades of flush times and lax negotiating, had become imbalanced." It's a point worth pondering. There's another lesson in this for Democrats. Want more favorable policies? There's an app for that: Vote Democratic next time.
