What you are seeing is incorrect. It is a lib talking point that has never been correct.
The truth is that at the start of the budget process last year all the state organizations were asked what they wanted, and if the budget funded them all, there would have been a 2 billion dollar deficit. The budget, which was signed few weeks ago, is balanced. Everybody did not get what they asked for.
It was a lie when it was first called a deficit, it was known to be a lie then, and anybody who claims it is still true today is either misinformed or intentionally lying.
Good for Walker then run on it.
