“Walker's Department of Administration ordered agencies to make the cuts without layoffs, if possible.”

If you aren't going to layoff government employees then I'm not sure there is any real accomplishment with these cuts. When are Republicans and Conservatives alike going to figure out that “cutting the size of government” means taxpayer funded government workers must be sent home for good. They will eventually get a job in the private sector where their salary and benefits will be based on the value they provide for the company that employs them. They will also eventually STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS once they realize they are now PAYING for government rather than making a living off of it.

You make a great point, precisionshootist. But, we are not only paying for our state government but the federal one too.
I would love to see a pie chart with the cost of the federal government along side SS, medicare and Medicaid. I think we would all see what department really costs the most and it wouldn't be medicare.
Anyone know where I could find a pie chart that includes the cost of running the federal government?

Right on the mark, precisionshootist. Thanks. HOORAY Scott Walker! Thanks for posting, WOBBLY BOB.
