DBQ: The Great Depression and The Great Recession

Wait…what happened to the rest? Where is the question? Why are there so many documents? What the heck is going on here?

Your task is to sort the documents, and choose between 7 and 10 for your DBQ. You are by no means limited to the documents here. Feel free to add others.

You then have to formulate a question for the DBQ, along with a rubric and a scoring guide.

Excerpt from “Walker looks at showdown with state employee unions” from the Milwaukee/Wisconsin Journal Sentinel

"You are not going to hear me degrade state and local employees in the public sector," Walker said. "But we can no longer live in a society where the public employees are the haves and taxpayers who foot the bills are the have-nots."

As a short-term measure, Walker wants to require workers to make a 5% contribution to their pensions. State union workers have traditionally not contributed to their plans. He also wants to increase employees' share of health costs to 12% - up from 4% to 6%, depending on the bargaining unit. Those changes million from January to June 30 alone. would save $154

Walker is following the path of other fiscally conservative governors, such as Indiana Republican Mitch Daniels, who used an executive order to rescind collective bargaining and union settlements for state employees on his first day in office in 2005.
