And Washington can't even fully fund its state-constitution-mandated public education system. With the blueboys in charge for decades.

Get outta that glass house, blue state boy. Big old rocks comin your way.

Wisconsin job creation rank falls to 38th in U.S.

Also, wanted to defund the highway program, cutting taxes for those who don't need it, refused to expand Medicaid and then further reduced the numbers who qualify for Medicaid by lowering max income income to $12,000 - thus throwing another 27,000 (actually I think it's higher than this) off the rolls of the insured - so we now have MORE uninsured than before the ACA. Which means hospitals raise their rates to compensate for the uninsured charity care, which means private insurance premiums have to increase (that's you and me).

Wanted to add to the state deficit (no our finances are not all that great because there has been no job creation and thus no increases in state revenues) by borrowing EVEN MORE money, until his own party put their foot down.

He was County Exec for Milwaukee County - hates unions and blacks and the poor - all of which dominated his headaches as County Exec.

Seeing as how the corporations continue to offshore jobs, are paying 1970's wages, how does any thinking person believe there will not be MORE poor in this country than less?

God help us. Undereducated, dumb as a box of rocks, wannabe Walker. Yes, that fool would be just great as Pres.
Translation: Governor Walker spayed Ariadne's NEA and pinned their ears back in the recall. Well, boo hoo hoo.

And hoo.

Uh, right. Aside from winning elections and controlling out-of-control spending. And keeping Wisconsin blood red.

I have to admit, though, that Hillary has him beat in spousal dereliction of duty and bumping her head and taking six months off while on the public payroll. Oh, and sacrificing the US ambassador to Libya on the altar of her own ambition.

A lot to be proud of there, Hil.

Gotta love the hate coming out of these progressive brains for little old Scotty Walker.

I have to admit he looks like a rent-a-cop and talks like a junior high school principal. What weak-ass candidates the Wisconsin Dems must be fielding these days.

My brother is a high school drop out, and yet he is legally a "genius".. And while I wouldnt want him to run the nation, intelligence is far more than just going to a school and being taught how to answer questions in order to pass.. its real world results which matter.
You aren't hte problem. Scott Walker is.
Unlike you, he has only two books in his library, and one of them issn't even colored in yet.

So now the liberal standard is, anything with projected shortfalls is bad.

Obama stimulus package
ACA
Almost every liberal state...
Mass transit all over the nation.

I mean really, you guys flip flop almost every single day

God help us. Undereducated, dumb as a box of rocks, wannabe Walker. Yes, that fool would be just great as Pres.

Don't forget how Walker mismanaged the organization, he formed and chaired, which lost accountability of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Quote:
But the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.’s budget is 35 percent higher that the Department of Commerce it replaced, and it “misplaced” $8 million in taxpayer dollars. WEDC spokesman Mark Maley stated, “Our awards are based on a company meeting a strict set of criteria for specific grants.” Yet the Legislative Audit Bureau revealed that WEDC distributed millions to ineligible companies for ineligible projects.
Letter: Walker, GOP have wasted taxpayer money


Lots of wasted taxpayer money and no jobs.
