Good resource thanks!!!

I liked this one...

During the 2014 election, Walker touted his ability to close a projected $3.6 billion deficit when he assumed office in 2011. He relied on a combination of spending cuts, reduced aid to local governments, and increased contributions to state pension funds to close the gap. Walker also adjusted several tax credits to bolster tax revenue. (Wisconsin State Legislature) At the close of the 2013 fiscal year, Wisconsin state budget officers reported a $759 million surplus.

and this one..

In November 2014, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the state’s bond rating from stable to positive. Moody’s also “affirmed the Aa2 rating on the state’s $7.7 billion in outstanding general obligations bonds.”

But the governor is on solid ground in saying the Wisconsin system is fully funded — and the only one in the nation, to boot.

If you note, according to as you say this “Good Resource” Walker’s unwillingness to be solid on conservatism rates low in comparison to others..... Mainly because he avoids are rides the fence on issues midway....which is why he’s one of the favorites for Democrats who believe he will “Play” their game in Washington.
