I find it mildly amusing that you didn't worry about the Wisconsin taxpayers paying higher taxes when it was Walker giving his donors 146 million tax cut. Where did you think the money would come from to make up for that gift?
Well I understand that logic. The left is going to hold it's breath because of a job creation bill that cost $145mm while completely ignoring a $3.6 billion hole. Mmmm I wonder why we have such a huge deficit problem in this country?
This man was silent during the Bush years, like all the rest of the Republicans. Where was the outrage to the spending that Bush was doing? Why ignore that reality and its collosal negative impact to slash the living daylights out of education? Education was ignored during the Bush years, now he wants to slash it, pretending as if the GOP didn't bring us to this mess? This is the beginning of the end to the GOP. I sense a total annihilation of Republican candidates come 2012. Way to eliminate yourselves, Pubs.

Wow. Too bad you didn't realize the WI Dems thought Walker's tax cuts weren't enough. They called the tax cuts merely symbolic and not substantive.
Quote:
Even though the tax cut bill he signed Monday and other agenda have garnered bipartisan support, Democratic critics say much of what Walker is doing is more symbolic than substantive.
For example, only $1 million in tax breaks is expected to be distributed to qualifying businesses that relocate to Wisconsin under the bill Walker signed Monday. Another tax cut Walker is backing that's tied to every new job created would come with a tax benefit of only between $90 and $315 per job.
Of course we still don't get much bang for the buck since parents are not active education consumers. Vouchers are the way to go. They would foster effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
Money is not our problem in education. The more money spent the worse the education of the students.
Try Union interference to start with. Then it goes downhill from there.
Scott Walker and the WI state Republicans campaigned on this very issue. They won the election among Wi voters and have now come into power and are implementing the very agenda they campaigned on. Why this is such a shocker for people is beyond me.
It's not a shock, it's just the idiot left losers that are complaining about it.
The rest of us are neither shocked nor upset with what he's doing. It's good to see an elected official doing what he promised to do.
Why cant liberals understand you cannot spend money you do not have?
Show me a day where conservatives have learned that lesson? Slashing spending that amounts to a drop in the bucket of 2 wars and huge tax cuts, doesn't seem to prove show the other side has any clue what it's doing.
Why is you righties keep repeating the same untruth over and over? The unions agreed to the terms, it is the Governor that said no and wanted to end collective bargaining which was not even an issue with their budget at the time. And while we are at it why is that if they were so broke did he give the Rich and Big Business huge tax cuts, that is not logical. There is only one issue and that is breaking the backs of unions, plain and simple, budgets are only a failed excuse which does not pass the test of logic.

the left are bigger pawns. who do you think benefits from all the regulations which lefties promote. who do you think benefit from all the spending lefties promote? who do you think benefits from the welfare which lefties promote? who do you think benefit from all the wars lefties promote? i'm guessing you think it's the people, that's because you've never followed the money.
I don't know about that. I had upward mobility because of the very things tea rails about. I paid my way the whole time as well- not one day on welfare. The only affirmative action job I ever took was an entry level job I was grossly over qualified for but women were never considered viable candidates in a traditionally all male industry (oil). No free lunch. I paid my dues and then some.
As for the special interests-- since both candidates of either party have railed against special interests for over a century of stump speeches, do you suppose we the people could all get on the same page and rewrite fair rules for all parties concerned since R's, D's & lobbyists alike are too afraid their private apple carts might get upset? Just a thought.
