Well duh! Considering the state is overwhelmingly liberal, I'm shocked that 90% of the state doesn't hate him. That doesn't change the fact that the state went from a Dumbocrat failed shit-hole of $6 billion in debt with 9% unemployment to a thriving prosperity of nearly $1 billion surplus and 6% unemployment thanks to sound and proven conservative policy.
Half the state hates him because they can no longer sit on their ass and receive handouts. They actually have to
contribute to society. Gasp!
Hey pea brain, did you forget already? It has NOTHING to do with 'conservative policy'.
All Walker's voodoo scheme will create is DEFICITS and DEBT down the road.
Let's get to the REAL truth...
Deficit turned surplus*
In January 2014, the nonpartisan Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau projected the state would have a $1 billion surplus at the end of the two-year budget period covering July 2013 to July 2015 --
almost all of it because tax collections are rising faster than expected. That helped back up a frequent Walker boast that he has turned state finances around.
But there is arguably an asterisk to the boast.
Also in January 2014, the
Wisconsin Democratic Party stated:
"The national economic recovery has led to higher than expected tax revenues and projected budget surpluses in nearly every state in the nation, including Wisconsin."
We rated the statement True. State budget watchers confirmed a widespread recovery in tax revenues among the states as the nation continues to edge out of the Great Recession.
