Hypothetically speaking, if the men and women of Congress are doing a poor job, who is at fault? Should unions, under any circumstances, ever be allowed to contribute money to political campaigns? If you support the idea of a “Robin Hood Tax,” how should the money be spent? Should the Glass–Steagall Act be re-enacted? (to separate commercial banking and investment banking) Is it a good idea to eliminate farm subsidies? Who deserves public benefits the most? Should the promotion/advancement of public workers be based on seniority, at all?

This is considered a major victory for public employees – a major defeat for some Republicans.
