UPDATE 12:00pm CST 01/04/12: Indiana has backed down on the new rules limiting free assembly at the State House

"Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." -- Ronald Reagan

Today, Gov Mitch Daniels (R-IN) is joining the GOP's nationwide war on labor, quality of life and the ability to collectively bargain.

Reuters reports:

"Indiana begins what is expected to be a raucous debate on Wednesday as a bill is introduced in the state legislature that could make it the first "right-to-work" state in the nation's traditional manufacturing belt.

The legislation is expected to pass the Republican-majority Indiana assembly with the support of Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, who said it is "all about new job opportunities."

Indeed. The opportunity for longer hours, less money, no security, no benefits and the dreary desperation of living less and less like Americans and more and more like the residents of a banana republic. Sounds great, doesn't it?
