I have a CPF who is having cash troubles as well.

He really likes his job, but it only pays $21,700 a year. Last year he tried to maintain a budget, but spent $16,500 over his income, running up his cards on his past debt.

He now owes over $165,000 on his credit cards.

But he is trying and has a new austere budget, where he has cut $40.00 from his budget for next year.

Yes, Uncle Sam has a real problem

Damn, you mean Scott Walker can relate to many Americans under Obamanomics?

Really?

Horror of horrors.

Paying over 20% on a credit card? Not impressed by the personal financial acumen.

I wonder what the liberals think about Walker giving a big chunk of his governor’s salary back to the State of Wisconsin?

I know his wife wasn’t happy...

With the financial problems this country is facing, would you really want somebody like Scott Walker as chief executive? Somebody who obviously doesn't have the financial acumen to live within the means of a governor's salary?

I checked by the way, and the salary Walker gets is $144,423 a year. That does not include all the perks that go with the job, the expense accounts and whatnot.

OK, it's not a king's ransom but plenty enough to live a solid middle class lifestyle in Wisconsin.

It would be like hiring a 400 pound out-of-shape slob to be your weight loss coach.

In response to the greed and corruption prevalent in the Milwaukee County Executives office prior to his election Walker promised during his campaign to return $60,000.00 a year of his salary back to Milwaukee County. And he did.

“Walker has foregone $375,070 in salary since being elected county executive in 2002 — $5,070 more than what he has claimed during the gubernatorial campaign.”

http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2010/oct/06/scott-walker/gop-governor-candidate-scott-walker-says-he-has-gi/

Walker is also in debt for his two son’s student loans to the tune of over $100,000.00. That debt would have an effect on the interest rate charged by the credit card companies. Walker took on his two son’s education as a personal obligation without looking for a government handout.

If Walker were filthy rich, he'd be just another wealthy, evil, greedy plutocrat. But since he's not, well how can you trust a man who isn't tremendously wealthy? He actually has debts? Oh, how terrible.

Liberals want it both ways. Either way, a conservative Pubbie is going to be criticized

He did great with Wisconsin and his elections, re-elections.

His personal financial issues actually lead me to trust him more. He hasn’t looked for all the creative ways many politicians (all Democrat/Socialist/Communist and RINOs) use to build personal wealth. i.e. corruption

Hillary made $140 million over the past seven years, so obviously she would make a better president.
