What I don’t understand is why Scott Walker or one of his PACs hasn’t made a concise commercial that counters this charge with the FACTS. Why doesn’t Scott Walker just say every time he has a chance, “Wisconsin has a $1B surplus! It doesn’t have a $2.2B deficit! Wisconsin’s roads and schools are great!”?

It is true that Walker’s administration projected a $1 billion surplus but faces a $2.2 billion deficit. A story in the Chicago Tribune late last month said:

It wasn’t long ago that the forecasting arm of the Wisconsin legislature was predicting that state government by mid-2015 would be flush with a surplus topping $1 billion, which Gov. Scott Walker could have showcased in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Today, that projected surplus has morphed into a $2.2 billion budget deficit that Republican lawmakers are struggling to fix.
