In 2011, Wisconsin had a whopping deficit of $3.6 billion dollars. But a cooperate tax cut and collective bargaining reforms invigorated the state economy. Now, the state is boasting a $911 million surplus, credited to “good stewardship of the taxpayers’ money.”
And what will Walker do? Buy his wife a $19,000 dress? Increase his paycheck? Go on vacation? Nope. He’s proposing $800 million in tax cuts. “What do you do with a surplus? Give it back to the people who earned it. It’s your money,” Walker said.
Gee what a louse! Don't know what it is about Walker that shoved so many bugs up your nether regions, but it's looking more like an obsession that anything else.
He takes bold action, acknowledging that the funding for government is really the property of the taxpayers and doesn't belong to the government (and he does it with the Obama economy still exerting a choke hold) and you find some deviousness and incompetence in it all - would that all politicians were so devious and incompetent...
If the state borrowing 800 million and then declaring a budget surplus works for you, have at it. I just want someone who can right the course of the country with jobs and economic growth and that isn’t Walker.
