While corporations feast at his taxpayer buffet, Walker and his pals have agreed to give back to education roughly a scant $100 million of his originally proposed $842 million in cuts over the next two years. For those keeping score at home, that's a paltry 12%, despite an extra unexpected $636 million now forcast from increased tax revenues over those two years. Meanwhile, the same Republican-heavy budget committee decided to increase road funding by $160 million, including moving $9 from title fees currently going towards the environment to roads. Using the scraps from the master's table comparison, doesn't starving the animals just make them meaner?
Stay tuned for the recall elections.
When Wisconsin bites back.
People really need to be informed of what is happening. Some people honestly have no idea what all this means and aren't going to take the time to educate themselves. Once people find out (and IF they find out), they are going to be mad, mad, mad! But there are too many people out there still in denial or just don't give a darn.
ReplyDeleteThe mantra "Jobs, jobs, jobs," is pretty tough to shake out of these people's heads. Hopefully they'll see the hypocrisy and political games before education, the environment, decent-paying jobs, etc. go completely down the toilet.
