My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.

About 70 percent of everything is really sketched out on my keyboard beforehand, because I do want accidents to happen in the studio.

If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.

But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.

Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.

Well, we’re going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill. The first step is we’re going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer.
