New Jersey governor Chris Christie has some competition for the nations toughest fiscally conservative governor Wisconsins Scott Walker, who is starting off his first term with a bang, taking on the state unions in a battle that has mobilized the nation.
You know hes on to something if you look at the unions and assorted liberals crying foul. The oppositions videos are everywhere, but heres a liberal-biased, Democracy Now! interview with John Nichols of The Nation magazine and Brad Lutes, a Wisconsin public school teacher.

I don't get why antipgovt conservatives trust big business over unions?
