The union I was in during the 80's had to take some cuts, no one cried about it.

Now with Tea Party people on the way there, it's going to get interesting.
Your daughter doesn't have benefits for three years. She has three years of the GI Bill. Then she has a lifetime of benefits. So do you. And so do I. I just got me a VA loan for a condo I rent out to a friend - who has been living off of his military benefits full time for the past twenty years. I love my military benefits.

You cannot compare the benefits your daughter gets compared to the state employees of Wisconsin - Because you'll loose. It's simple math... Military benefits are for life.
