Republicans The GOP's Presidential Candidates

Lol if you will, he has turned Wisconsin around and he would be a far cry better than what we have now and he doesn't even have a degree ( I don't think). Pisses off unions, turned a deficit into a surplus in a blue state, what is there to bitch about?

 

What have you been reading? He hasn't done a damn thing for Wisconsin except pad the pockets of the rich people there on the backs of the workers.

Walker boasted that Wisconsin would have a 1 billion dollar surplus thanks to his version of austerity but they actually have a 2.2 billion dollar deficit.

 

That isn't what politifact says, while they say his claim is a bit inflated they actually give him credit for being mostly correct in his claim.

 

I made a mistake I shouldn't have called it a deficit, it's a 2.2 billion dollar shortfall. But there is no surplus.

 

again, not what politifact said, I have no idea who politifact is but it isn't fox, at least not that I know of and they said the claim isn't far off the mark.

 

That's where I got my info.

 

I will find it and post it in a bit

 

lol

 

A more recent article, like today recent. I guess the important thing is what isn't there and that would be anything about Walker, I'd have to believe if they are going to go after Perry for a border claim they would have taken Walker apart for a 2 bil overstatement right?

Gotcha, so after readin further it's not that Wisonsin is in the red 2.2 billion today, it's a projected 2.2 billion shortfall by 2017. But then in another article it says something completely different.

I think the thing to take away here is politicians make this shit up, and projecting a budget years down the road is hoodoo. It's like me saying I'm gonna go buy a house in 2017 with cash. I'll have enough money saved by then. But then I get sick, my kid wants to go to France, my wife gets pregnant and come 2017 I'm broke.
