MADISON, Wis. — It’s the “deficit crisis” that never was.

The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau on Monday set the record straight on Wisconsin’s biennial budget position, as it would stand under Gov. Scott Walker’sbudget proposal.

In a memo to Joint Finance Committee co-chairman state Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, fiscal bureau director Bob Lang notes that under Walker’s 2015-17 budget bill, the state’s gross general fund balance would be $123 million and, the net balance would be $58 million.

BALANCED DEBATE? The running narrative from the left that Wisconsin faces a $2.2 billion budget deficit isn’t true, according to the latest analysis of Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposal.

That’s a long shot better than the $2.2 billion “deficit” narrative Democrats keep repeating ad nauseam.

“The Joint Finance Committee met again today to ask questions of agency leaders regarding Governor Walker’s $2.2 billion deficit crisis budget,” state Sen.Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, declared in a press release last week.

A Bloomberg story in late December offered this provocative headline: “Will Wisconsin’s Finances Crush Walker’s Presidential Dreams,” repeating the same $2.2 billion budget deficit line.

The charge came up again and again during the recent legislative debate over a right-to-work bill, which Walker signed on Monday.

Except, it’s not true.

It wasn’t even true in November when Democrats dragged out the line.

Yo, the Party of Lies, they just keep coming! If you belong to this Party?
Talking about the Socialist Progressive Democrat Party? You better get out of Dodge fast!!!

So Walker is fiscal conservative? Another feather in his cap.
