Scott Walker has handed out over $2 billion in tax cuts over his terms and now Wisconsin finds itself with a $283 million hole to fill by June. Walker's answer to this problem is to simply ignore the debts and push them to the next fiscal year.
The finances of Wisconsin are turning into a complete mess with the 2 year budget now projecting over a $2 billion dollar deficit that will need to be filled probably in the next 9 to ten months. Discretionary spending in the state has been cut so much already (especially education...) that Walker has extremely little wiggle room left, as can be seen by the desperate move of skipping payments due by the end of June.
If this is "fiscal responsibility" that the GOP talks so much about I'm really fearful of our future should Walker get elected president....
