Cheers to Eliot Spitzer for speaking up about labor in Wisconsin and the Republican effort to demoralize teachers and blame them for the buget crisis.
He said more of the blame falls upon the CEO's on Wallstreet who were not being squeezed the way in which the working class was and this was unacceptable.
Of course there was David Frum who tried to score points for the Republicans and said unions had been greedy. And Wallstreet wasn't?
Watched most of GPS and wished more people stood behind labor on 360 and other CNN programming.
It is disheartening that viewers who are unionized, don't have more public advocates on CNN.
