“Governor Walker demonstrated a serious approach to governing again tonight in his remarks. Concrete proposals like the Wisconsin Working Plan and the Read to Lead Taskforce Report will make
“Republicans will continue to work with a passion on the real problems Governor Walker identified tonight. Too many Wisconsinites are still without work, too many young people still struggle to read, and too many people rely on government assistance programs.

Vox: There is always Illinois just across the state boarder. Just think, you can finaly post positive comments about state government and officials. You will still have the ability to log into Now blogs to vent your venom on Wisconsin officials.

Since you hate your mayor and have never said anything good about him, why haven't you moved out of New Berlin? Better yet, since you hate Obama and all he stands for, when are you are the rest of the NBCRG and your Tea Party pals moving out of the US to some nice right-wing, commie-hating Christian theocracy, or better yet a libertarian wonderland like Somalia? If your choice is love the government and sing its praises, or move, this applies to you, too.

Brighter for the wealthy and the corporate sponsors of Walker, Inc. Brighter for the theocrats who want to use public funds and institutions to support their churches and their religions.

Last night, as I watched Scott Walker give his State of the State speech, I could not have been more proud. Especially when the Liberal nut cases ( One of them sounded exactly like the wife of a local school board member) decided the proper way to let your voice be heard is to yell out during a speech. Such hatred the lefty's have. No self control. Then, afterward, to watch the liberal blinker try to talk about how both sides should come together. Yea, Like the 13 Senators did. Unreal. Excellant job Mr Walker, You are our leader and for that I'm thankful. Vox/Richter, Pray, Moore X3, Iron Balls, you're up.

You need to check with Walker, Inc. on that balanced budget claim, Senator. Or did the governor just claim to the Feds the state budget was not balanced so he could kick another 50,000 or so off of health care?

...and that says alot. Unfortunately, the state was faced with very difficult decisions but the right ones were made to allow the state to grow and prosper in the future instead of the continued tax heck decline that we've been known for in recent years. The future certainly is brighter than a year ago.

For the workers in the state who have seen their taxes and fees go up, not so much. For the workers who teach and guard prisoners and do a hundred other jobs this society says it values, not so much. For anyone wanting their kids to attend state schools and not go into massive debt, not so much. For the people who don't want their water and air polluted to toxic levels by corporate interests, not so much.
Walker, Inc. is now flipflopping on whether or not the state budget is balanced. And by the accounting methods he said he would use when he ran for office, it's not even close to balanced. He raised taxes on the poor and soon-to-be poor, raised fees by the millions. And he's not done yet.

You just make that up. People that don't pay a nickel in income taxes will see their free handout decline.
"For the workers who teach"
More money in thier pocket, not being forced to support lavish union lifestyle with dues nor supporting the overpriced and union owned health insurance. Now they get the same coverage at half the cost!
"For anyone wanting their kids to attend state schools and not go into massive debt"
I did this and have no school debt.
"want their water and air polluted to toxic levels by corporate interest"
You mean like the great outcome of ethanol right? hahahaha
Folks like you are upset that your free ride and gravy train couldn't be supported anyone. You took, took took, and took from your neighbor with increasing demands and unwillingness to be reasonable. The state of Illinois is a good example of how that continues to work.
Unfortunately, the years of the thinking like you do but the state in a very serious situation. You wanted to stick your head in the sand and pretend it didn't exist or blame it on someone else. Walker was strong enough to stick to difficult decisions that we all knew were coming and had to be made.

And when will Walker, Inc. adopt Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as he promised during his campaign? Using that method, the con job budget will have a $3 billion deficit by June of next year.
