Paul Ryan's Reaction to Protests in Wisconsin

link here to video

Rep. Paul Ryan compares union protests in his state capital to protests in Cairo. He does not approve of the protests in Madison so apparently he views the protests in Cairo negatively. Whats happening in Madison should not be surprising since the new Governor has unilaterally decided that the state employee's union and its contract is irrelevant. Whats happening in Wisconsin is part of a national trend and Ryan's response is similar to the way in which the issue is viewed by many. Things are tough in the private sector and public employee's should not be exempt from the changes in the private economy in which risk and cost is being shifted from the employer to the employees.
