Nice job you dead eyed, rat faced loser. You just costs Wisconsin residents when you promised to save money on State Benefits.

I think he is a very typical republican.

Aren't some of the cuts just the State not paying it's debt now which will just increase interest down the line?

From what I understand. Also, the outgoing pension fund manager tried to get the Walker Administration to carefully examine the changes but because of his right wing ideology and need for a political victory he is going to do exactly the opposite of what he said he would do-save the voters money.

Once again, a republican makes everyone's lives just a little worse.

Do you always swallow the hook, line and sinker along with the bait?

In the first place, this is according to Walker, who certainly has a motivation to spin the numbers, don't you think?

In the second place, your link includes these comments:

"Much of those savings….could be verified….But the figures also included a significant amount of savings for local governments that could not be verified."

In other words....he can't prove it.

And there's no estimate to the cost to his party after all the ill will he has created. The GOP may never recover in Wisconsin.

It does look like you did not even read your own link.

the key words in the 1st sentence were the words "may add". that doesnt mean it will increase does it. but seeing how you are the typical liberal and always think the worst instead of trying to see if it actually happens in the 1st place.
