let me jump back for one thing on wisconsin. there are states in this country that have massive deficits that don't have collective bargaining and there are states that have very low deficits that do have collective bargaining. that is not the issue. if you want to have a discussion about collective bargaining have that but this is about deficits. i can just tell you, as governor of michigan over the past eight years i cut more out of state government that as a percentage than any state in the country. every single year we had to cut. in fact, by a large percentage. i did it in partnership with the unions. our unions gave over $700 million in concessions. i asked them to pay the new employees 20% towards their health care benefits. he had don't even have a pension. they have 401(k)s. they have a defined contribution. >> don't want to talk too much about collective bargaining and unions. ed. >> we're not talking about eliminating collective bargaining what we're talking about is limiting collective bargaining to wages not the ben
