Its a forecast!

Its deliberately put together with NO REVENUE growth. Walker and the Republicans didn’t get elected yesterday, they managed the last budget (which started with the same deficit) and ended with a surplus after giving Wisconsin taxpayers a tax cut.

Wisconsin’s assembly will adopt a balanced budget in the next couple of weeks. There will be some borrowing for the second mega interchange project which cannot be delayed.

——Also, in May Wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state.

Yeah, we lost a big Health Care Insurance employer. Thanks Obamacare.

That is exactly right. Have we not had enough of secrecy? The audacity of blocking the public from records showing how money is spent, emails, all communications on legislation! I know Walker has not disclosed his college records, but now he is trying to hide his legislative records from his own citizens!

If you don’t want accountability, don’t run for office!

——If there was disclosure, I’m sure we would find that Trump has donated more to Republicans over the years.

If there was full disclosure, I’m sure we would find that Trump and Hillary have had some pretty positive discussions.

———Republican Gov. Scott Walker wants to make sure just about everyone who works for the government can’t negotiate their working conditions - except for local police, firefighters and state troopers.

This was the right thing to do, I’m shocked that Red State would object to it. Kasich in Ohio did not except the Police and Fire unions so all the unions banded together to claim his reforms ‘put the public in danger’ and he got creamed.

Walker recognized that there is a difference between the union of paperpusers amalgamated and Police and Fire who need unions to buffer against political mismanagement LIKE BALTIMORE.

If Wisconsin had a budget surplus, why aren’t they paying their loans? They missed a 108 million dollar payment in May. Wonder what else has gone unpaid? Could it be that Walker has put off paying the bills in order to claim a surplus for his campaign launch?

The issue was that he gave unions that supported him a pass.

WEDC as a program claims, for FY2012-2013, something around 5,800 jobs. The rabid dems seem to agree on that number.

Statewide, unrelated to WEDC, there were are 13,600 layoffs reported.

Also unrelated to WEDC (except for the above mentioned 5,800 jobs) the state added somewhere around 100,000 jobs in the same timeframe.

You (or your democrat sources) are the ones trying to link WEDC numbers to overall layoff numbers, while ignoring overall growth numbers.

And that is what I call a rabid dem talking point. Usually divorced from the truth. Usually distorted to beyond the point of recognition or sanity.

If you don’t post a link, its just a flatulent lie from a proven liar.

The only jobs that can be attributed to WEDC payouts are around 7,200. The same companies that received the payouts have outsourced over 15,000 jobs.

Walker promised 250,000 jobs during his campaign. Overall, there have been about half that, including the 7,200 under WEDC.

When Walker took office, Wisconsin was 11th in job creation. Now they fluctuate between 38 and 40th.

When the debates get here, some of the biggest dissection of Walker’s record is going to come from other governors from states that have actually had successful job creation.

“The same companies that received the payouts have outsourced over 15,000 jobs.”

OK, I am going to call for sources on this one. Even the most generous and misleading count seems to top out at around 1,500 outsourced jobs. Maybe they are hiding somewhere else - there are only so many rabid dem pages I can tolerate search through. I suspect you are a lot more at home on those pages than I am.

It would have been truthful to include that that article was from FEBRUARY 2015. Otherwise you lie by implication that this was an emergency and suggesting that it was some sort of secret. Suggesting that others wouldn’t get paid.

Does Trump really want to campaign by lies? Is this the Clinton effect?

“The State is taking advantage of unusually strong, favorable short-term interest rates for these notes,” spokesperson Cullen Werwie wrote in an e-mail.

Your record of lying remains intact.
