...do you believe it when Donald Trump says the same things?

Donald Trump takes aim at Scott Walker: "Finally, I can attack"

"...The Republican presidential candidate criticized Walker's handling of the Wisconsin budget, saying the state is "doing terribly" and "in turmoil."

"The roads are a disaster because they don't have any money to rebuild them. They're borrowing money like crazy," Trump said. "They projected a one billion dollar surplus and it turns out to be a deficit of 2.2 billion dollars. And money all over the place."

Trump's figures -- which are
accurate -- also led him to charge that when it comes to the interest accrued on those debts, Wisconsin "borrowed so much money that a big portion of their budget now is paying for it." What Walker was doing with the financial pitfalls in Wisconsin, Trump said, was "kicking it down the road."

The real estate mogul also attacked that the state of Wisconsin schools, calling them a "disaster" and saying that "they're fighting like crazy because there's no money for the schools..,."

Saw this... Trump is value for money...

Clinton is getting a free ride of criticizing all the GOP candidates which have been taking pot shots at each other. Hillary is in a nice postion, GOP are showing true colors in fighting. Bernie Sanders has gained a bit which is expected due to people getting to know him, but he is no threat.

Hillary home and hosed by May '16 and will take a nice holiday before the nationals.
 
Do you know how much our debt is thanks to Obama and the feds OP???

Wisconsin is peanuts compared to this
National Debt Tops 18 Trillion Guess How Much You Owe - Forbes
In 2004, the federal debt was $7.3 trillion. This rose to $10 trillion when the housing bubble burst four years later. Today it exceeds $18 trillion and is projected to approach $21 trillion by 2019. When you break this down to anamount per taxpayer, the numbers are substantial. The chart below contains this data which shows how it has more than doubled over the past 11 years, rising from $72,051 per taxpayer in 2004 to $154,161 today. As the debt continues higher, the liability of every taxpayer is also rising. The change in the amount of the federal debt per taxpayer from 2004 to 2015 represents an average annual increase of 7.16%. This is much more than the average annual wage increase during the same period.

Crunched By His Big Tax Cuts Scott Walker Will Skip 108 Million In Debt Payments ThinkProgress

"His latest budget, which he unveiled earlier this month, seeks even more property tax cuts. At the same time, it cuts $300 million from the state’s public universities as well as cuts to public media and the Department of National Resources. It also seeks new borrowing: $1.3 billion to cover transportation projects instead of increasing the gas tax and more than $200 million to finance a new basketball stadium."
 
Missouri roads are good, they even scrape off snow and ice in the rural areas, Ok and Ar, no whey do the plow the roads, even in the cities..
 
Walker was the RW darling around here until Trump came along.

Now apparently we can't get the RWnuts to defend either of them on this.
 
Well for a State that the Op say is a mess. It seems to be doing pretty damned good.

Wisconsin Thrives Under Scott Walker The American Spectator



In 2011, Wisconsin had a whopping deficit of $3.6 billion dollars. But a cooperate tax cut and collective bargaining reforms invigorated the state economy. Now, the state is boasting a $911 million surplus, credited to “good stewardship of the taxpayers’ money.”

what a comical bunch left-wing morons are!!!

Kansas? Wisconsin?

wow those states are in bad shape huh?

wait
one LEFT-WING CITY, HAS A $19.5 BILLION SHORTFALL
Chicago and its massive pension fund DISASTER
LIBS ARE LOSERS who lie to themselves
 
Here in Colorado, we have a guy named Doug Bruce who was elected to state office and pushed through the TABOR amendment, which severely restricts taxing and spending initiatives. Not coincidentally, our roads, parks and schools have suffered significantly and even our tourism advertising budget was slashed.

Yeah, it saved the taxpayers money. And it made Colorado a little less wonderful place to live. Sometimes cutting, cutting, cutting decreases the overall quality of life. And unless I miss my guess, quality of life is pretty much the bottom line for everything, isn't it?

Oh, I almost forgot. Bruce was under constant legal scrutiny for the dilapidated rental properties he owned and was ultimately convicted of tax evasion.
