His public speech often continues to waffle, even. Little correction there.
One thing that anti-Walker liberals have failed to understand, is that funding for their jobs and even some pensions will inevitably be cut regardless of election outcomes.
Taxes can’t be increased much, because truly productive, sustainable revenue-generating business continues to slow. Most of the consumers who would be able to pay higher taxes receive their incomes from government. The debts continue to pile up, because ever higher portions of revenues come from recirculating debt (personal spending by government income recipients).
Electing Walker would be the way to an easier landing for those who depend on government for incomes (and for everyone else). Repealing regulations, fees and cutting government spending for some particular interests would be the only way to get more revenue-generating businesses started.
Electing any of the others (big spenders, all) would be the hard way of defaults, repudiation and economic collapse (see Greece, Argentina, all), and the markets will most likely signal the nearness of defaults sooner than most political folks would expect.
