WOSG, anyone,
Please thoroughly relate the record of any governor of more than four years, in a state with an average or greater degree of poverty, who has an excellent rating in “tax and spend” in the years beginning with 1998.
You want a more fiscally conservative Governor than Huckabee? ... There are about ... 44 of them!
Arkansas went from 30th to 13th in the country in terms of its state tax burden under Huckabee’s tenure. The bottom line is that he jacked up both taxes and spending substantially.
Cato ranked Huckabee 45th out of 50. And gave him an F.
They ranked Romney 15th out of 50.
They ranked Matt Blunt of Missouri 1st out of 50.
If you want an example of a fiscal conservative, go look at Matt Blunt. Missouri is not too different from neighboring Arkansas... and btw, Gov Matt Blunt endorses ... Romney.
I’m wary of FT because of who his VP might be.
Well, WOSG has miserably failed me. Obviously not a compassionate conservative.
Can anyone else come to the aid of this poor, ignorant FReeper?
Give me the whole low-down -- years in office, budget in, budget out, deficits? surpluses? tax cuts? tax hikes?
Is there any governor that hasn't had a budget buildup, in the late 90's and/or since?
