Thanks but “push back” won’t be enough.

[MaxMax]

Dems love this kind of talk and action, they create thousands of regulations
and the Repubs talk about reversing a few. 1000 Steps forward, two steps back.

What does push-back mean in Walkers educated language?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

".....Walker’s time in the governor’s office has included some pretty stark instances in which he stood up to liberals both inside and outside of government. Here are four ways in which the thrice-elected-in-four-years governor has refused to go along to get along.....

2) Rejecting a state-funded ObamaCare Exchange

While other Republican governors decided to use state taxpayer money to build health insurance exchanges for ObamaCare, Walker refused to use Wisconsin taxpayers’ money to build a state exchange that would have only duplicated the federal exchange the Obama Administration built. Some GOP governors thought they could spend state dollars and build exchanges that met their own standards, but in reality all exchanges had to comply with Obama Administration regulations.

According to an estimate by Bloomberg Government, by late 2014 the Obama Administration had spent $2.1 billion on the federal ObamaCare exchange and programs promoting enrollment in the exchange. As for the exchanges built with state taxpayer money, POLITICO found in 2014 that Maryland, Nevada, Oregon and Massachusetts had to rebuild or scrap part or all of their exchanges after collectively spending $474 million on health insurance exchanges that essentially duplicated what the federal government was already doing.

3) Rejecting ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion

Originally, ObamaCare mandated the expansion of Medicaid, a joint federal-state program funded mostly – and regulated heavily – by the federal government. But the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the expansion would be voluntary and states could choose whether or not to accept the federal expansion money. Walker rejected the Medicaid expansion. Initially, the expansion would have been paid for entirely with federal dollars, but over time the state would have had to start picking up the tab.

Walker didn’t just reject the Medicaid expansion, however. He devised and implemented a plan that shifted approximately 77,000 people off of the state’s BadgerCare program and onto federally-subsidized ObamaCare approved plans. Then, he opened BadgerCare up for lower income individuals below the limit set for ObamaCare subsidized plans.

Other GOP governors accepted the Medicaid expansion money or offered no proactive policy alternative to their states.".... More

If a car is about to run me down in a narrow alley, I may try to "push back." Thanks for the heads-up, Scott.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Walker's messaging has been horrendous lately.

People are craving a bold, visionary leader with clear objectives.

For some, nothing will ever be enough - even though they fail to attempt fully grasp the truth, and rely on a cherry-picked statement or two as their "foundation of reason", they will insist that they had no choice but to allow another Obama to inhabit the WH. Obama blamed Bush for everything and those who aid and abet the Left blame the GOPe - failing to see the irony as they deride Obama's blame game.
