By M.D. Kittle / March 10, 2015 / 11 Comments
MADISON, Wis. â Itâs the âdeficit crisisâ that never was.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau on Monday set the record straight on Wisconsinâs biennial budget position, as it would stand under Gov. Scott Walkerâsbudget proposal.
In a memo to Joint Finance Committee co-chairman state Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, fiscal bureau director Bob Lang notes that under Walkerâs 2015-17 budget bill, the stateâs 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 isnât true, according to the latest analysis of Gov. Scott Walkerâs budget proposal.
Thatâs a long shot better than the $2.2 billion âdeficitâ narrative Democrats keep repeating ad nauseam.
âThe Joint Finance Committee met again today to ask questions of agency leaders regarding Governor Walkerâs $2.2 billion deficit crisis budget,â state Sen.Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton, declared in a press release last week.
A Bloomberg story in late December offered this provocative headline: âWill Wisconsinâs Finances Crush Walkerâs Presidential Dreams,â 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, itâs not true.
It wasnât 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!!!
