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.
Very often someone can stink in one realm, same area, and shine in another.
Ronald Reagan was an awful parent, but a fantastic president. One of the best, in fact. There's only so much of "us" to go around, and he gave himself to the people.
Likewise, Walker may not be the best at his home financial budget, but look at the State of Wisconsin.
To make the tie here is, I believe, simplistic in the extreme and at odds with the facts.
