I've seen this before.

Walker just laid it out. The rubber meets the road now.

Walker Unveils Budget -- Says Cuts Will Be More Painful If Dems Don't Return

<snip>

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) gave a speech at the state Capitol Tuesday to unveil his budget for the next two years, even as the debate over his budget repair bill still rages.

"The biennial budget I introduce today is built on the savings supplied by our budget repair bill," Walker said.

Walker's budget would cut spending by 6.7%, or $4.2 billion. In his address, Walker said that the cuts would hit harder if the 14 Senate Democrats who have left the state to avoid a vote on the budget repair bill do not return.

"As we decrease spending, we also increase flexibility so local government and state government have the tools to deal with reduced revenue," Walker said."It's true we are reducing aid to local government by just over one and a quarter billion dollars, but we are providing almost $1.5 billion in savings through our budget repair bill. If the 14 Senate democrats do not come home, their local communities will be forced to manage these reductions in aid without the benefit of the tools provided in the repair bill. On the other hand, if the Senate democrats do come home, local units of government overall will actually see a net increase in revenue plus savings of more than $150 million."

[pacalo]

14. "Come back to da joint or da schools get it"...

[Blue Owl]

4. What kind of state does Scott Walker think he's creating?

Does he enjoy shooting his own state in the foot?

For himself.

[Hannah Bell]

9. +100

[socialist_n_TN]

12. Yep. Classic shock doctrine

right down to selling off state assets at bargain basement prices to rich billionaires. Why do you think he manufactured this "budget crisis" in the first place with his tax giveaway to the rich.

BTW, how much did the Koch brothers benefit FROM those giveaways?

[malaise]

7. Wasn't Walker kicked out of a university for

cheating?

[Mac Adams]

10. Please tell me this is true..

[CLANG]

16. YES

“You are correct. The man was caught cheating at Marquette and was kicked out, never finished. His GPA was in the low 2.0's.

Walker is a tool of the Koch brothers, nothing more.”

[stevedeshazer]

11. Was a C student, dropped out, worked for IBM

Holy shit!!! He must be a Bush Crime Family member!

[NuttyFluffers]

8. so sick old ladies on medicaid was not enough hostages, now wants to ransom children too.

hmm, in other situations we call this behavior terrorism... only difference here is he has a title to his name. just sayin'...

[Dappleganger]

13. The reality is that the schools will get it anyway.

He seems a lot like Rick Scott, who lies about one thing and does something else and doesn't care what anyone in his state believes because he's a dictator.

[TBF]

15. Too bad we can't send the military to Wisconsin to remove him -

I guess Wisconsin doesn't have enough oil to justify the expense.

[2011CA]

17. Oh FUCK YOU Walker....

:mad:

[LiberalFighter]

18. What tools can help local communities deal with reduced revenue?

Reducing aid to local government by $1.25 billion and there will be a $1.5 billion in savings?

Sounds more like some crooked business person having two sets of books. They show what makes them look good and hide the book with the real numbers.
