The ‘Earth-Shattering’ News Rush Limbaugh Says the Media Ignored, You Need to Know

[ScreamingEagle]

Good call.
Thank you.

it's 'earth-shattering' because giving back citizens their own money happens so rarely....

of course politicians hate it...controlling citizen money is the source of their power.....that's why the Demonrats are totally ignoring Scott Walker....

Did you hear what Borillar said?

Did Rush get all sweaty over Oregon's kicker checks? Huh? Did he? Did he call the return of money to Oregon taxpayers "Earth-shattering" news that was being ignored by the media or did he...ignore that news?

Oregon is a blue state, so I am going to guess...he ignored it. He didn't say a word about it.

And that tells you everything you need to know about Rush Limbaugh's hypocrisy and his "earth-shattering" bullshit.

you libs can sure make much ado about nothing...but even in your efforts to play down Walker's success you are helping to make the case for fiscally sound Republican efforts...because Oregon was led by a REPUBLICAN Governor when Oregon adopted the 'kicker' law in the first place...

what you don't realize is Oregon's 'kicker law' has been around since 1980....after a REPUBLICAN Governor who took office in January 1979....Governor Victor Atiyeh....(1979-1987)....the law was originally inspired by the Calif. Prop 13 to cut taxes.....and probably Jimmah Cawtah's inflationary times...

during the 90s and 2000s there have been 'kicker checks' only 5 times.....in 2007 the median kicker was $113....and 20% of the rebates went to the top 1%....

opponents of Oregon's 'kicker law' include Democrat Governor Ted Kulongoski (2003-2011)....followed by the current Democrat Governor John Kitzhaber....

this Oregon law is already being eroded by the Democrats....

In 2012, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 85, which reformed the corporate kicker so that if any rebate was due, the funds would be returned to the general fund and specifically allocated to augment public school funding.

I LOVE lushbo limbaugh.

But, its weird who he works undercover for the Ds.

Then there's screwy Glenn (Schizophrenic Alky Baby Huey) Beck.

Keep up the good work, boys.

Total, nonsensical, drug-induced babble.... as usual.

Keep up the good work Nuttly...

Thought you people were about less government and more individual freedom?
Make up your f*cking minds.

America need more Governors like Mr. Walker. In the Northeast in particular.

Indeed. What do we have instead? State leaders that are more concerned with "legalizing" pot, than operating fiscally responsibly.

You have a republican administration that is doing well (as are most of the republican governors around the country) and the media refuses to cover them. Returning monies to the citizens of a state - WOW! What a novel idea!!

What on Earth does this have to do with anything? Are you incapable of a single, cogent thought?

Well stupid - follow along closely, if you are capable.

Leaders that concern themselves with fiscal responsibility (rather than some trumped up bullshit like marijuana) are successful - like republicans. This Governor is a prime example.

Try to keep up - will you?

I thought we all agreed on a moratorium on "bombshell" and related words for 2014 due to gross overuse and exaggeration.

A tax cut in Wisconsin is "Earth-shattering" news? Not! It does not even create a jitter on the seismograph, mm-kay?

Let's make 2014 the Year of Down-Worthing.

Geez did you have to wait till page 5 before giving us your decree? Give us a break next time and point out our foibles sooner oh great and wish king.

The kicker law came to be through ballot initiatives. Neither Democrats or Republicans can claim credit for it. Atiyeh was the last Republican Gov we have had in the last 30+ years, and the kicker is still with us. So if Democrats were trying to do away with it as you claim, they haven't been trying very hard. It is part of our state constitution now, so neither party can do much of anything about it. We haven't gotten a kicker check since 2007, so the legislature has done a pretty fair job of budgeting.

Scott Walker DID improve education......he did it EXACTLY by reducing the influence of the Teachers Unions....and reducing costs...

instead of lining the public unions pockets...and the pockets of the Democrats.....the school districts now have the option to spend that money on the STUDENTS if they need it....and school districts no longer have to dance to the tune of the unions...

how many non-English speaking children with disabilities are there anyhow....? if the unions get out of the picture i have the feeling that the number of 'disabilities' will plummet to a very small number...and children who can't speak English will just have to get busy and learn it...no more coddling the illegals....

and as for rotating teachers of different subjects you realize that while one teacher is teaching math to one class the other teacher is teaching science to another class....so the average cost per classroom is still essentially the same if you include the same number of students in each classroom....and yes i realize that you can state the costs differently per different classrooms or students or school district....these are simply overview figures...

I don't see how making teaching an even LESS desirable job than it already is helping education.

Uh, yeah, those teachers are making up disabilities and coddling illegals. (Pssst. Psst. Most ESL students are here legally. Sorry.)

The problem is, you can't keep the same number of kids in each classroom. For instance, you really want the chemistry class to be smaller than the english class. Not to mention the need for specialized equipment, support personnel like therapists, and such.

Wisconsin is adding jobs and their state debt is gone.....yet scumbag liberals come here talking as if he has failed.

I guess liberals didn't want more jobs and less debt for Wisconsin.....the cat is out of the bag.

The ‘Earth-Shattering’ News Rush Limbaugh Says the Media Ignored, but You Need to Know.

Walker is proposing a $504 million property and income tax cut plan as a means to return some of the surplus money to the people of Wisconsin. Some Democrats and Republicans are already criticizing the plan and are calling for changes.

“The budget surplus is really your money,” Walker recently said at a meeting of the Wisconsin Grocers Association. “You earned it.”

The unemployment rate in Wisconsin dropped to 6.2 percent in December and has been dropping steadily since 2011.

Walker is not counting people who dropped out of the labor force, if he did the real UE rate would be 37.5%.

Wisconsin is still 100,000 jobs below 2008 and the LFP is down from a high of 70.8% to a current 63.3%, a 30 year low!

No, just using the same standards for Walker that the Right uses for Obama. If they are real for Obama, then they are real for Walker.

Wisconsin rates dead last in job growth. Really, Walker's record doesn't look nearly as good when you look at it.

Walker is returning tax monies to his constituency. "Job Growth" dead last. BS.

Now, let's look at Barry's record. Oh, that's right….we never do that, now do we? Pull the curtain back liberal - there is no OZ - it's merely an incompetent liberal at the helm.

I'll take Walker's record any day of the week and twice on Sunday compared to that moronic idiot that is occupying the White House.

Walker's UE numbers are completely fake! His LPR decreased by 7.5%, Obama's only decreased by 2.7%! If you use a constant LPR for Walker, like the Right does for Obama, his UE would be over 11%!!!!!

Why do you feel the need to lie?

You use a graph that does not adjust for inflation or the number of children served by the system.

.

Even your more accurate graph is alarming. It shows that per-pupil costs have gone from around $8,000 in 1992 to over $10,000 in 2010. Costs have actually increased by 25 percent during the same time as student performance has been in noticeable decline. There's something wrong here.

Your graph proves increased spending does not result in increased academic success for America's children. Perhaps we should shift the focus from spending more and more on a failing system and try to find out what the real causes of failure are.

$10,000 per pupil.....only 20 kids in a class.......equals $200,000 per classroom per year !....

does it really cost that much to teach your children....?

there are probably a lot of teachers who would love to set up their own shop and teach a class of 20 for 9 months a year for $200k.....and probably do a hell of a better job of it....

the whole education system needs a total overhaul....Scott Walker would be just the man to bust the NEA and the Department of Education and help the states create responsible new budgets for education...

Wouldn't it be great if all we had to do was pay a teacher to teach our kids? Of course having a teacher teach our kids at the local park with no teaching supplies might be problematic for many parents. It would also be very cold this time of year. I suppose we could switch the school year so that kids had vacation during the cold months and went to school all summer long. Rain days would still prove to be a problem though. As for extracurricular activities, no big deal dropping all of them. Students don't really like those anyway.

Now you may think I am being facetious, but am I? Maybe you think the answer is private schools, because they seem to be able to teach our kids for less. But again, there is a small problem. Private schools are closing their doors due to lack of funding. Up until 1995, 12% or more of US students went to private schools. Now that percentage is about to drop below 10%. Right here in my upscale neighborhood where the public school system spends close to $12,000 per student, the local Catholic Elementary school is shutting its doors at the end of this year. They say parents are not willing nor can they afford the additional funding necessary to keep the school open. The school has 174 students this year who will all most likely transfer to public schools next year.
