Another attack on Scott Walker boomerangs

[Sarah G]

 

[kaz]

Don't believe us, believe Wisconsin. They even think he's a hypocrite.

Amid presidential campaign, Walker’s deficit balloons to $2B

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will have to plug a roughly $280 million budget shortfall by the end of June, and the state faces a two-year deficit that could be as large as $2 billion, based on new estimates released from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.

When Walker took office in 2011, the state faced a roughly $3 billion budget shortfall, based on agency requests. Walker declared that the state was “bankrupt” then, an assertion that was supported by the media.
Somehow, there’s no mention of “bankruptcy” in the right-wing media this time around.

Walker used the 2011 deficit as an excuse to dismantle public unions, an action that was high on the agenda of right-wing groups such as the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity. His Act 10 forced public workers to pay more for their health care and pension benefits and ended nearly all their collective bargaining rights. He made deeper cuts to education than any other governor in the nation, including cuts to public schools, the University of Wisconsin and technical colleges. He also cut the state workforce, taking millions of dollars in income out of the state’s economy.

Amid presidential campaign Walker s deficit balloons to 2B Wisconsin Wisconsin Gazette - Smart independent and revealing. News opinion and entertainment coverage

Hypocrite, a $3B deficit when it's a Democrat is fine with you and when a Republican cuts the deficit by a B-illion dollars you call him incompetent. Grow up. Leftists have to play these games because your policies are illogical and don't work.

And seriously, an Obama supporter is suddenly against deficits?????

Now suddenly you want to switch to a discussion about Obama? Diversion, anyone?

Obama saved this country from the brink of a depression in 2009 so get your facts straight. Don't keep mixing in your talking point memo information. It makes you look uninformed. Also, Obama was elected twice. Your governor hasn't even made it to the campaign trail yet.

 

[Zander]

There is no budget deficit in Wisconsin.

Depends on which Scott Walker you ask.

Did Scott Walker flip-flop on how budget shortfalls are measured PolitiFact Wisconsin

lol

You're so stupid it must hurt when you breath. The Wisconsin budget is balanced. The 2015-2017 budget is balanced.

You,by contrast, are unbalanced and obtuse.

Yet again, you move the goalposts.

So when Walker has a $2B deficit, you criticize him when he inherited a $3B deficit from his DEMOCRAT predecessor. Who you don't criticize.

So deficits are your standard? I ask about the master of deficit spending, your God, Obama. Suddenly deficits aren't an issue again.

Here's what people with intellectual integrity do, sweet heart. They have standards and apply them consistently because they are their standard. Here's what you do. You worship or hate them, then you pick the standard you want to apply based on what works in that narrow situation. That standard constantly changes because it isn't a standard for you at all, it's just an attack. You're a liar and a fraud, you have no intellectual integrity or any other kind of integrity. The Democrats are just your team, and you're their cheerleader

I believe you, but it doesn't even take that. Even according to their numbers, Walker reduced the deficit by a billion dollars from taking over them, and that's proof he's fiscally irresponsible. Yeah, they are as you say stupid

You need to update your talking points is what I am telling you. From the same article in the Wisconsin Gazette I posted above:

The governor has spent a great deal of time since his re-election pulling together his presidential campaign, visiting other states and raising funds. The latest budget figures were released just a day before Walker joined other GOP presidential hopefuls at separate events in Iowa and California. Democrats renewed their criticism that Walker is distracted by his political ambitions and instead should be focused on fixing the state’s budget problem.

“The Scott Walker claiming that he cut taxes and balanced the budget faces a different reality at home,” said WisDems communication director Melissa Baldauff in a press release. “While Walker is campaigning in Iowa and promising caucus voters he’ll be back there soon and often, Wisconsin is facing a $2.2 billion budget deficit for the next biennium that is well on its way to $3 billion and higher. Worse, the state is expected to end the current fiscal year with a $283 million shortfall.”

 

[Sarah G]

Trust me, Hillary and also other Rs running for that matter will be up on their facts about Scott Walker.

 

[Zander]

Listen people- there is no budget deficit in Wisconsin.

It is not confusing unless you're a vacuous, ignorant, twat. The story is mudslinging BULLSHIT.

In the WI budget process they ask each department to put in budget requests. These are fantasy budgets- they are not real. They are just "requests". If they approved every single dollar of stupid spending "requested" by the bureaucrats , then they'd have a budget deficit of $2 billion for the 2015-17 fiscal year. But that is not what is going to happen.

Walker has already submitted a budget that is not only balanced, it produces a $58 million surplus.

Now kindly go fuck yourselves on the way to your remedial learning classes.......

He didn't inherit a 3 billion dollar deficit. He inherited a projected deficit based on agency requests for funding for the next year.

 

[kaz]

[You need to update your talking points is what I am telling you

Walker even according to your numbers cut the deficit from $3B to $2B from the last Democrat governor, you criticize him for that, and I am the one who needs to update my "talking points."

Gotcha, Trixie. Here's a dollar, buy a clue

 

[kaz]

He didn't inherit a 3 billion dollar deficit. He inherited a projected deficit based on agency requests for funding for the next year.

Here's the Wisconsin fiscal situation the year before Walker was elected:

Milwaukee Journal Sentinal:

Wisconsin budget rated in worst 10

"The top-10 ranking puts Wisconsin in a dubious group with California, a state that issued IOUs to contractors earlier this year. Wisconsin is ranked ninth-worst, tied with Illinois."

Wisconsin budget rated in worst 10

Yeah, you've got a winning point there. And the butt hurt from your hypocrisy over Obama and deficit spending not mattering, wow.

Don't cut off your own balls and run away from what you are arguing, Nancy. If you have some nit difference between what you said and what I heard that's fine, but attacking Walker for fiscal irresponsibility while you hold his Democratic predecessor and the Buffoon in Chief to no standard is completely and utterly intellectually disingenuous

 

[Sarah G]

He has made many bad decisions and he will fall hard in his campaign.

Again:

Over his first term, Walker turned down hundreds of millions of federal dollars for expanding Medicaid, building high-speed rail and expanding high-speed Internet service in the state. Those were among the decisions that put the state on the slowest track in the region for job creation.

I hold all governments to the same standard:

Give the people as much government as they want, but make them pay for it when they're getting it. Pay as you go. I've said that a million times.

Cool, so show me some of your posts criticizing Obama for taking the debt from $10 trillion when he took office to over $18 trillion today

You don't like being corrected on your own mistake?

Mrs. Clinton pointed at the top category and said the economy required a “toppling” of the wealthiest 1 percent, according to several people who were briefed on Mrs. Clinton’s policy discussions, but could not discuss private conversations for attribution. [Emphasis added]
Hillary Vows To Topple The Rich In Off Record Meeting The Daily Caller

Hillary Clinton Topple the 1 Watch the video - Yahoo News

Hillary Clinton Topple the 1


You are welcome.

To address these gossip videos, because that's what they amount to. There's no evidence of her saying those words, just pundits "reporting" on reports that she said those words. Even if those words came out of her mouth, it's without context. So there's no there there. Just conjecture.

Try again.

She said it, you know it but you protect her at all costs

As for the word "hack" you used it first, you seem to struggle with self awareness

So when we had Romney on video literally stating right before our eyes and ears that the 47% are turds and he doesn't care for them, you and your ilk did backflips trying to convince Americans that he didn't really say that.

However, you want to run as gospel some gossip rags, hearsay and conjecture of some RW hacks in the media because it suits your narrative.

Do you see what's happening here?

My last post cited Huffpo., look I'm sorry she isn't the Political Paragon you hoped

She said it, does she even remotely mean it?

Hell no she is ONE of hem, it was simple silly pandering.

If we let you, and your ilk tell it, sure.

What Hillary is, is a person from the working to middle class that worked her way up to the top with lots of hard work and tenacity over a span of several years.

With much trial, tribulation and adversary along the way.

Like Obama, the epitome of the American Dream.

Like Al Capone and John Gotti.

Even worse, she has no BRAIN!! There is no budget deficit in Wisconsin! Walker has a balanced budget and his budget for 2015-17 has a surplus.

then why is he cutting half a billion from the University of Wisconsin to close up a 2 billion dollar deficit?

Scott Walker says next state budget will begin with 535 million surplus PolitiFact Wisconsin

The Fiscal Bureau does this exercise periodically, mostly during budget season. The bureau’s longstanding method is to assume no loss or gain in revenue and no changes in spending. Applying the same approach allows for a consistent picture over time. The bureau’s latest estimate came out Sept. 8, 2014.

The bottom line: a $1.76 billion deficit heading into the 2015-’17 budget.

Among the chief reasons for the gap: Tax cuts approved by Walker and the Republican-led Legislature, which contributed to a slowing of revenue.

Yes, kiddies, another example of Supply Side Fairy Dust.

They actually a 2 Billion dollar reserve fund, they aren't hurting at all.
