because governor walker's solution is not a general solution. okay. so there's a second approach, and that is the democratic approach, and this is this new thing that's happened symbolized by democrats for education reform whose efforts i totally applaud, and and i really admire joe for the work that he's done over the last several years. so, look, what's been happening is that there's been a ferment within the democratic party. it used to be that there was this strict alliance between the unions and the democrats, and the democrats just carried the water for the unions. and really couldn't be aggressive advocates for disadvantaged kids who are their constituents. and groups like the democrat -- well, the democrats for education group stood up and said we aren't going to take this anymore. we are going to represent the kids, and we're going to challenge the unions. we're going to take them on. and president obama and arne duncan did it with race to the top, right? they pushed reform in a direction that unions didn't want to go, and their democrats. th
