Another attack on Scott Walker boomerangs

[Zander]

Bottom line- there is no $2 billion deficit in Wisconsin. They currently have a balanced budget and the 2015-17 budget submitted by Walker has A SURPLUS.!!

So unfair to be purposely confusing True Democrat Believers with facts!

I think some of them enjoy being lied to.....

It's not that they enjoy being lied to, it's just that they like hearing certain things, true or otherwise.

Well, we all have varying degrees of "confirmation bias".

 

[Jarlaxle]

Come to think of it.....

It does look like Walker buys his clothes at Sears

Yet another RW pure logic and high information attack. Wow, now that you've turned your gigantic mind to ending Walker, he's toast

The failed Governor of Wisconsin has no accomplishment more impressive than qualifying for a Sears credit card

You mean besides slashing the budget deficit and checking the power of greedy government unions?

Wow, since you don't count getting elected as an accomplishment, you must really hate Obama

Gutted the education budget to pay for a handout to the billionaire Milwaukee Bucks owners

Worst Governor in America

Does it HURT to be this stupid?

 

[kaz]

The point was their performance as governor, no moving the goalposts

RW has been arguing that for an hour and your response is nuh uhhhhh.

You don't have a point as far as I am concerned.

Um...no, my response was that he did a great job slashing deficits and checking union power. Can't read, can you?

I don't think so.

Wisconsin s 2-year budget hole forecast at up to 2 billion

So what? He'll cut spending and balance the budget. That is what businesses and individuals do, why should a state be different?

When Walker took office in 2011 the state faced a roughly $3 billion budget shortfall. What happened with that? Oh, that's right, he turned it into a SURPLUS and sent the money back to taxpayers.....imagine that!!

So you are completely oblivious to the fact that now he faces deficits.

So the last Democratic governor having a $3B deficit is OK with you. Walker having a $2B deficit is bad. Doesn't your ass sting from the ridiculous, overt hypocrisy?

Oh no, I'm sure they have an excuse blaming Libs for that too. You know their talking point supply is practically endless.

Right, so a $3B Democrat deficit is OK, a $2B Republican deficit isn't. Oh, and it's the Republicans who are stuck on talking points. You have no shame

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.

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.

You both did,, asshole. You are attacking Walker for deficit spending that is lower than his Democratic predecessor. He decreased deficits from the Democrat and you are attacking him. That is exactly what you nitwits are saying

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

Same article:

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.

But Walker’s Act 10 brought the largest demonstrations to Madison in decades, making him an instant sensation with the tea party acolytes Fox News. Now Walker is using his fame to mount an exploratory campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

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.”

 

[NYcarbineer]

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

Interesting how the picture changes when you dig a little deeper. Those "demonstrations" were largely done by out of state thugs, bused in to create a big stink. The actual Wisconsin voters were more than happy to keep Walker in office.

They were not out of staters and it took a little more than the voters being more than happy to keep him in. He had trouble getting passed his problems and he did it only with Koch brother's help.

1. They were out of state rent-a-mobs.
2. He beat the recall vote by a larger margin than his first election, and won his re-election handily, despite all the garbage the democrats could throw at him.

You don't seem to like dissenting opinions very much. Why then are you posting on a board where people can express them? Sounds like you would be better suited to an echo chamber where everything is carefully edited to only agree with you.
