Madison—One month after the 2011-13 state budget was signed into law, tangible results from the reforms put in place by Governor Walker and the Legislature are being realized. According to media reports, local units of government and school districts have already saved more than $220 million, with millions more in potential savings not yet reported.
The state is also adding jobs. Between December 2007 and December 2010, Wisconsin lost over 153,600 private sector jobs. The state has netted over 39,000 new private sector jobs since the Governor called a special session to open Wisconsin for business. The state has seen 14,100 manufacturing jobs created since January. In June Wisconsin had a net job creation of 9,500 new jobs, including nearly 13,000 private sector jobs. Only four states created more private sector jobs than Wisconsin did in the last month.
Below is a sampling of local units of governments being able to balance their budget and improve services due to the reforms contained in the 2011-13 state budget and the budget repair bill:
Month One: Walker Budget Working
Next week WI has scheduled a number of recall elections and the Marxists on MSNBC like Maddow are cheering the coming defeat of the ‘producers’ over the ‘takers’, now the ‘demanders’ .

But still all you hear from the village idiots is Recall Walker.
They are used to being in the red and lack common sense.
Here is a brain challenged lib trying to explain why they are trying to recall Senator Darling. Obviously she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCJJbElRjGM&NR=1
wisconsin ping.
Walker for President!
He can do what the pre-sent can’t do.
As much as I love having Scott Walker as my governor, I would give that up in a heartbeat to have him as my President. It’s absolutely refreshing to witness a politician doing the right thing and sticking to conservative principles.
Maybe or maybe not. She made a idiotic claim about him hoping not to be challenged on it, but she lost that bet.
I watch MSNBC regularly to see what they are up to they make those type of arguments every day unchallenged. Maddow is on this kick that government construction projects made us great in the 1930s, and we need to repeat that now for our children. Yet she in 2009 nightly made the argument that we should spend a $1T on food stamps and unemployment comp because that is the best way to create jobs and increase tax revenue. Now she is saying that it not working (economy diving) is proof that it worked, and we need those construction projects to make us great too.
What you probably don’t realize is that she conflated 3 politicians to make her bogus claim and got a lot of other brain dead followers to demonstrate outside of Alberta Darling’s office. Two of them (Alberta Darling, her main target in the current recall, and Scott Walker, our Governor, targeted for recall in November) have NOTHING to do with Social Security. Yet, she conflated 3 people in her stupid demonstration. One of the recall elections is next Tuesday. Pray for us. Paul Ryan, on the Federal level, has some influence over Medicare policy; but his proposals have been uite gentle and aimed t saving the system.
Wow.. Who would have thought that market competition would save them money?
I am certainly rooting and praying for Walker and his allies in this against the Marxists who invaded your state to make an example of him for balancing the budget without increasing taxes.

I am not impressed with Ryan's medicare reform plan at all. Privatization(partial subsidizing) of something like Medicare (so popular with voters) is difficult enough as an issue without including a political gimmick that exempts all workers that retire for the first ten years and before that just to get their political support. In my opinion that ruins the whole proposal both practically and morally,
The unions obviously knew that. That is one of the reasons they fought it tooth and nail. WEAC Trust, which is mentioned in several of the examples, is the teachers union health insurance company. A lot of the old contracts required the schools to use them for health insurance which was a second way (othet than dues) for the unions to suck cash from the taxpayers.
