I am infuriated! His Reforms are working my A**! He knew this was happening, he KNEW it...and, NOT be here to face up, yet spend millions on ADs telling the People, we are Budgeted! WTF! He knows as quote, "Legislature will need to take emergency steps to avoid being out of balance," and "Walker administration is looking to address the problem through debt refinancing and restructuring..."
Wisconsin's budget condition worsens...What? The Budget is fixed? The state’s budget projections have deteriorated by $216 million dollars, opening a new budget shortfall for Gov. Scott Walker to confront, new estimates show.
I live in Wisconsin and have been on the fence about this whole thing for a while. I have finally decided how I am going to make my decision. I will vote for the side with the least ads from groups outside of Wisconsin.People who don't live in my state trying to convince me on how to vote is a bad thing. I hate the amount of money in politics it takes government out of the hands of the people where it belongs
Before you can judge the success of his actions and policies, you have to correctly identify the problem. The problem, for the taxpayers, was deficit spending and rising taxes, not "job losses". From that perspective, "it's working".

How about gave away 800 million free dollars to create jobs? Yes, the train. It was free money and those that think that was a long term savings, how is cutting 900 million from education long term? Education is our future. I work for a software company in the private sector. I wouldn't be able to do what I can without a quality education. Walker's budget just doesn't make sense for the future I would like my kids to have. Raise our taxes, we'll live within our means.
@chwillcutt There's no such thing as "free dollars" or "free money"-- if you buy into that, you're deluding yourself. The government can't truly create jobs, businesses and the private sector create jobs. Obama's stimulus was not a real solution. We saved money by NOT creating a train to nowhere. Seriously-- who would have ridden it?
@chwillcutt What budget does make sense? The one that illegal raided the patients compensation fund? The one that borrowed $60 million from Minnesota? The one that ran $300 million deficits? The one that put us on track for a $3 billion deficit? The one that took money out of the schools and gave it to the union's fake health insurance WEA Trust? The one that raised the tax levy $160 mil a year? The one that took power away from the school boards and rewarded teachers based on tenure?
@chwillcutt You make two errors in your assumptions.
1. The train money was not free money, it was OUR money. Whether it was fed money or state money, it was OUR money. There was also the ongoing cost of 100 million dollars a year to subsidize the silly choochoo. The train was just a big money drain, and a losing proposition from the start. Free money? Give me a break, there is no such thing as free money.
2. Throwing more money at education has never proven to make it better. It's made it worse
@chwillcutt If you think that Mr. Walker or any other Republican doesn't care about education you have been missinformed. He was just putting the money in the school's hands instead of the union's!
Thank you, Governor Walker for standing up for the taxpayers in Wisconsin! Finally someone who actually stands up for and represents hardworking citizens who believe in less government, fiscal sanity and personal responsibility!
Not many facts in that video that was paid for by who? "Koch Brothers buy $700K in ads in desperate effort to save Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker." Koch owns Walker and your dumb asses. Wake up!
TGFSW!! Not actors for the person that claims that. The Recall Walker crowd and the Unions harass anyone in these ads. Normal everyday people in this clip.
@kbronnson it's this kind of attitude that furthers my opinion on how Walker is the right choice. This threatening stuff is absolute bush league...especially when you have policies that are completely benefiting Wisconsin and are quickly becoming the envy across the country. Perhaps you should consider moving to Illinois. Then you'll find a state that can't even pay their bills. Thus, these companies are laying off people because of it.
Want proof it's working? Compare Wisconsin to Illinois. Unlike Illinois, there have been no mass layoffs and no increase in school tax levies. Finally, we're on the right track in this State!
We have a net job loss. In the private sector. Period. It's not working. Facts are facts, despite that the right-wing doesn't want to admit to actual numbers and data.
Thank you Governor Walker! Thank you for your courage and your strong character. I am proud to have supported you in the past, and will stand by you and the Lt. Gov. going forward. Carry on, Scott!
@BlahMcBlahistan How about NO school districts listed in the lousy union ad? Sitting on floors? No desks? Funny RUSD biggest gripers just bought 50 macbooks and a ton of Ipads. "actors" hahaha (compliment)
I couldn't have said it any better myself. Scott Walker really hit the nail on the head by targeting public-service union (how's that for an oxymoron?) excesses and abuse.
