The article appears to use as its prime example of corruption a $500,000 loan that supposedly went bad. Pretty rough. Although in perspective, it appears to be bull crap. Wisconsin has a state budget of about $35,000,000,000 per year.

1% of that budget is $350 million dollars.

The BIG DEAL of this paragraphs-long "journalistic" endeavour is a $500,000 loan.

How much is $500K? Well, it is a FRACTION of 1% of the entire state budget.

So. If the BEST this "journalist" Matthew DeFour can come up with is a problem with a fraction of 1% of the budget and trumpet it as a major problem, then I am pleased that Walker is considering a run for the presidency.

I am equally pleased that the Republicans in Wisconsin care enough about this fiscal minutiae to consider reforming it.

When was the last time you heard about Democrats caring enough about welfare abuse that they wanted to fix it?

Answer: Never.

Matthew DeFour, the writer of this piece, claims to be non-partisan.

Actually, millions of dollars in unsecured loans given to Walker donors through WEDC is the bigger issue. These loans were not paid back. Many of them were written off and no longer are reflected in the “outstanding loans” total. This is the tip of the iceberg.

I think the poster of this thread makes the same claim.
