So, Walker pulls a Slick Willie, trying to cover up his record and this makes anyone who brings it to light look bad?

If anybody else had done this, they would be criticized roundly, but Walker gets a pass? These are the ethics we should vote for?

No, we should vote for Cruz if we’d like. Cruz is fantastic. But you make him look bad by regurgitating sleazy liberal attacks on his opponents.

Walker has the record of fighting and winning against Democrats. We saw Madison Dems in fits of apoplexy and practically blind with rage over their inability to unseat that guy. Have we forgotten so soon? He does the one thing we ask of any Republican: he fights!

Over the course of his two terms, state spending has increased under Walker. ....He supported Ryan-Murray which increased spending and violated previously agreed upon spending cuts..... Walker’s support for one of the largest budget deals in the past raises the question whether Walker would pursue a similar budget as president.

As Walker works with the legislature to craft the 2015-2016 budget, the state faces an estimated $283 million deficit. Walker has proposed delaying “more than $100 million in debt payments to balance the books.”.... (Bloomberg)

Total expenditures have risen from $40.1 billion in 2010 to $44.9 billion in 2014...... This represents a 12 percent increase overall, outpacing both population growth (.94 percent) and inflation (8 percent)..... (Ballotpedia, Ballotpedia)(Census.gov)(BLS.gov)

Isolating the portion of the state budget Walker has the most control over, a similar picture emerges..... Spending supported by General Purpose Revenue rose from $12.8 billion in 2010 to $14.6 billion in 2014. ....This represents a 14 percent increase overall..... (Ballotpedia, Ballotpedia)

Walker was supportive of the Ryan-Murray budget deal, which increased federal spending and violated previously agreed upon spending cuts. Walker said, “Paul is one of those rare people in Washington who’s acting more like a governor than just a member of Congress.”......(Journal Sentinel Online)
