    "Stuff that matters" is apparently a website called "crooks and liars".....where they have an actual tab titled "Blue America".

    And you really want me to take that seriously?

    I didn't even read the article (after seeing that). I didn't need to.

    I'll ask again please. What specially has Walker done that is BS.

    The prank phone call to him is not something he did Germ if that helps you out.

    He is trying to balance the budget. The state senate walked out on him.

    The guy fell for a pranked call, what do you call that? He thought about putting trouble makers in the crowed. He comparing his legacy to regan.

    Again Montana gov got the cuts he needed by working with everyone. Sit down and talked, it's not the hard.

    I think Walker did very well considering he thought it was a private conversation. He basically said the same thing he has said in public.

    1st off. The dude that set-up him up suggested putting people in the crowd. He thought it was a private conversation. He did not want to just say that was a bad idea to a major donor. What was he supposed to say? He handled that perfectly considering he never thought it would be on you tube. Also, considering it and performing it are two different things. I've considered having an affair once or twice, then went... whoa wait a minute. :beer:

    2nd


    There is a reason Walker does not sit down and compromise. It is the backbone of what he wants to do.

    He needs to limit the collective bargaining rights for public unions because he is going to massively strip aid to local municipalities next. The local governments are going to say, "how are we supposed to balance our budgets?" He is going to say you need to cut your local public compensation the same way I am cutting it at the state level. If he does not get the bargaining rights restricted the local governments have no power to limit compensation and he can't cut the state aid like he wants to balance the budget.

    This is the reality of all of this. It is not pretty by no means. But it is needed evern though I hate it.

    Your dude is a tea party guy for sure with that mullet.

    Btw we are asking for the same cuts here MI and I support them. If our gov acts like walker he will lose my support. I want people I elect to work together.

    Then why give 137 million in tax cuts? His budget was balance, he put it in the hole his first day in office.

    I read your post, so you just told he is bought and paid for by his donors. Walker will say anything to his donors. Too funny.

    Look at Texas a right to work state, how is their budget looking?

    Sorry but going after working people while sucking Koch is just the standard GOP bs we have put up with the last 25 year.

    Give a tax cut that does not benefit the state, just a few business. Unless the tax cut is big enough to spur growth, it's just as bad as spending.

    We have more than a billion in deficit and you are worried about 137 million? The Scott Walker way of doing things is to make tax cuts so that revenue increases. We need to tax cuts to increase revenue. No government has ever ever ever ever ever increased revenue by increasing taxes. The math does not work out.

    A lower percentage of a higher number is greater than a higher percentage of a lower number.

    Ask Regan. :poke:


    Lastly, say anything? He simply didn't piss him off. He told Koch that they didn't decide on doing it. If he was bought by his donors he would of said,...."I'll tell you what, you make a bigger check next year and I will get those thugs out there."

    Tell me with a straight face that the guys sitting in Illinois on a private conversation would of not made an ass of themselves. SW did fine.

    Gary the only way people are going to see the light is when the sales tax, property tax etc, etc, etc.... goes thru the roof when this bill passes! Also, $600 per pupil is taken away from the schools, STATEWIDE, where do they think this money is going to come from??? Then, once MPS gets shut down and the inner city kids get shipped out to the suburbs and cause trouble in the schools their kids go to now, with 40 students per classroom....maybe they'll get it then! I cant believe that any parent with kids in school today would support this bill?? Actually I cant believe any parent would support this bill period?? It baffles me how so many educated people in Wisconsin can be led astray so easily to support this bill...
