Remember when he said he was going to create 250,000 jobs? Wisconsin is dead last in the Midwest in job creation.
Did Scott Walker flip-flop on how budget shortfalls are measured PolitiFact Wisconsin
Fast forward to the Fox interview.
Walker said the report of a $2.2 billion shortfall heading into his budget was a media creation.
But the fact is, it came from a report from his own budget shop in his Department of Administration.
What’s more, tax cuts pushed by Walker and Republicans in the Legislature play into some of the challenge that faced budget-makers, as projected revenues have fallen short.
But by far the biggest chunk of the $2.2 billion projection is -- as Walker alluded to on Fox -- the spending increases sought by state agencies.
But that’s always been the case. That’s the purpose of the report -- to see how tax revenue projections are looking compared to what state agencies say they want and need.
This merits a Full Flop.

Even the harshest critic of the Wisconsin governor would have to acknowledge that this is some pretty impressive work. For a governor to balance his state’s budget in these tough times—even if it is done by making Draconian cuts to health and education—is a noteworthy accomplishment.
Of course, such admiration would only be required if the Governor had, in truth, actually succeeded in the manner he suggests.Unfortunately, it turns out that Scott Walker is being a very bad boy…again.

Scott is a very bad boy indeed. Imagine the kind of president he would be.. His opponents will call him "President Drop-out" and it only gets worse from there.
