Walker decides to balance budget on education

[Judicial review]

At least wisconsin tax payers are saving 150 million a year.

You could buy alot of Kirbys for that kind of money. At least four or five

312,500 of them

Only if you have a coupon

Only if you are me.

GOP governors want higher education cuts to recoup budget shortfalls MSNBC

Now this is a guy that we want for President, huh?

Yes....this is a lie....he cut 150 milllion and then froze them to that level for the next year....as they sit on a billion in reserves..........

Scott Walker and Wisconsin s Starving University System National Review Online
n his recently introduced budget, Walker cuts state aid to the university by $150 million, then freezes that funding level for a second year (which is why it is often characterized as a “$300 million cut,” even though the university doesn’t really need to cut anything the second year; it simply must make do with the prior year’s allotment).

However, an important component of Walker’s budget plan is that the university system will get operational flexibility to make up for those cuts in the future. For instance, in theory, the university has the ability to set its own tuition, but the legislature rarely grants it that authority. Walker’s plan would give the system that autonomy in the future, as well as the ability to negotiate its own employee contracts and bond for its own buildings. This is similar to the operational flexibility that Virginia granted to its universities nearly a decade ago.

So while the university’s budget would go down slightly, in the short term it would have the ability to manage those cuts the way it saw fit, and in the long term it would be able to make up for them via tuition increases.

Further, a long-term look at the University of Wisconsin system shows a university that isn’t exactly emaciated. Here’s a chart that shows the two major components of university funding — state aid and tuition — since 2000. The last two years (2016 and 2017) represent Walker’s proposal....

Even with Walker’s reductions, the university’s two largest funding sources have increased by 64 percent since 2000.

he system also receives federal aid, gifts and grants, and other revenues, but these tend to have strings attached, so it’s not entirely fair for them to be counted in the university’s budget. If they were, though, the increase in revenues would be even greater.

It also didn’t particularly help UW’s case when legislators found the system had been sitting on nearly $1 billion in reserves, stashed away for a rainy day. Perhaps Walker’s budget will provoke them to pull out their umbrellas.

This is my favorite part:

in theory

That's how Republican economics works. Like trickle down or cut taxes for the rich to improve the economy. Or get rid of benefits to make health care less expensive. Starve children and they will work. It's always "in theory".

 

[Judicial review]

Lady's and Gentleman it's simple. What Walker is doing is indirectly forcing colleges in his state to restructure how they teach and what they offer and that over time will reduce tuition costs. In the mean time The great state of Wisconsin which is where my heritage is from will enjoy 150 million a year in savings. Beautiful isn't it. The colleges and students will be better off because of it. It will take time, though. I do suspect the colleges will "try" to push the cost onto the students and it wont work and they will protest on campus.

Good. Maybe universities will be forced to stop ripping off their students with such outrages tuition costs.

Then dont attend dickhead. Students dont have to attend...and arent entitled to attend. I know losers like you would love to sit in a dorm for 8 years smoking pot and talking trash about cops...while others pay for your room and board and expenses.

But you cant. Dont like high tuition? Dont enroll. Go to tech school.

Okay, but those reserves are for time periods when the economy is in full recession and revenues from tuition and taxes are dropping.

Now, I'm fine with Walker cutting the budget, the University should learn to live within its means like everyone else has had to.

Dean....Dean....Dean.....the more he helps small business, the more they grow, then more of the poor are able to get second and third jobs to pay his sales tax. COME ON!

The more jobs, the more the poor can get multiple jobs to allow the GOP to keep the minimum wage low, allowing all business owners and the wealthy to make a larger profit.......I think I just had a vision of Ronald Reagan.......

Lady's and Gentleman it's simple. What Walker is doing is indirectly forcing colleges in his state to restructure how they teach and what they offer and that over time will reduce tuition costs. In the mean time The great state of Wisconsin which is where my heritage is from will enjoy 150 million a year in savings. Beautiful isn't it. The colleges and students will be better off because of it. It will take time, though. I do suspect the colleges will "try" to push the cost onto the students and it wont work and they will protest on campus.

Because Walker could not

Now this is a guy that we want for President, huh?

Yes....this is a lie....he cut 150 milllion and then froze them to that level for the next year....as they sit on a billion in reserves..........

Scott Walker and Wisconsin s Starving University System National Review Online
n his recently introduced budget, Walker cuts state aid to the university by $150 million, then freezes that funding level for a second year (which is why it is often characterized as a “$300 million cut,” even though the university doesn’t really need to cut anything the second year; it simply must make do with the prior year’s allotment).

However, an important component of Walker’s budget plan is that the university system will get operational flexibility to make up for those cuts in the future. For instance, in theory, the university has the ability to set its own tuition, but the legislature rarely grants it that authority. Walker’s plan would give the system that autonomy in the future, as well as the ability to negotiate its own employee contracts and bond for its own buildings. This is similar to the operational flexibility that Virginia granted to its universities nearly a decade ago.

So while the university’s budget would go down slightly, in the short term it would have the ability to manage those cuts the way it saw fit, and in the long term it would be able to make up for them via tuition increases.

Further, a long-term look at the University of Wisconsin system shows a university that isn’t exactly emaciated. Here’s a chart that shows the two major components of university funding — state aid and tuition — since 2000. The last two years (2016 and 2017) represent Walker’s proposal....

Even with Walker’s reductions, the university’s two largest funding sources have increased by 64 percent since 2000.

he system also receives federal aid, gifts and grants, and other revenues, but these tend to have strings attached, so it’s not entirely fair for them to be counted in the university’s budget. If they were, though, the increase in revenues would be even greater.

It also didn’t particularly help UW’s case when legislators found the system had been sitting on nearly $1 billion in reserves, stashed away for a rainy day. Perhaps Walker’s budget will provoke them to pull out their umbrellas.

This is my favorite part:

in theory

That's how Republican economics works. Like trickle down or cut taxes for the rich to improve the economy. Or get rid of benefits to make health care less expensive. Starve children and they will work. It's always "in theory".

Seems a little harsh just because you decided not to finish your degree....you think?

That wasn't a question. Your reasoning is suspect at best. Anotherwords bullshit. Have a nice day

He's probably toast nationally. This might actually play well for him in the gop primary season, but it literally is a softball for Hillary or any dem candidate trying to energize the Obama 2008 voters.

I truly wish the Koch's had decided to back this horse instead.

Yeah, this will make him a hero of the far right and the baggers.
