Hmm. On the one hand Trump is probably right (I have no direct knowledge of it). On the other hand, that is probably standard operating procedure in every state. They always spend more than they get no matter what.
As for flip-flopping, I can take minor flip-flops as simply a change of mind. Fundamental flip-flops just before an election I see as fraud. On Common Core, I am not overly alarmed. The schools have long been the playground of liberals. So to me, the have much bigger problems than just CC.
I am not an expert on Walker. What I have seen makes me think he is weak in areas important to me. I want someone who will stand up for the issues most important to me. But Walker is not all bad. That said, Trump’s strength is that he thinks like a businessman and so all the government spending and borrowing without any thought to the bottom line looks ridiculous to him.
I read that Trump also criticized Walker for doing away with public workers’ union “rights”. I get the impression that whenever Trump is criticized or wants to go after someone, he throws everything he can think of at them, including the kitchen sink.
My pet conspiracy theory still holds that Trump wants Hillary or Bush to be president, so he is in the race to take the anti-Bush votes in the primaries.
You heard it here first. ;-)
Walker has only created about half of the 250,000 jobs he pledged. The WEDC he created is a dismal failure and now there is an ethics investigation over it which centers on Walker.
Basically Walker is a regional candidate and it usually does not translate well into a national candidate. I don’t see him going anywhere from here but fade.
The biggest problem with all government spending regardless of what party is in charge is that they spend the ‘projected’ money and never cut when it doesn’t come in.
This is a reason, without people taking control, I don’t believe in balanced budgets or amendments. Force a lying politician to balance and they’ll ALWAYS start with the spending side you MUST fund else every child will die and then they say “we have to balance the budget and to do that we need more revenue”.
This is proven over and over and over. I see it here in TN all the time.
