Wisconsin Recall Results and Why They Matter to You
by Bradley Voight on 06/11/12The recent recall attempt in Wisconsin is an omen of things to come. Collective bargaining was ended for most public employees when Scott Walker took office. Now that the recall failed to unseat him, he will be going for public worker pensions next. In San Jose and San Diego, California a referendum just slashed their pensions. This is a trend that will continue nation wide over the next several years. There will be no safety nets in the future unless you make them yourselves.
My philosophy is take no handouts and believe no promises! I try to build my own safety nets and one way I do it is scrapping. I keep a stockpile of metal on hand and it acts like an extra savings account that I can use to keep out of my savings.
