They're so blinded by irrational hatred of unions (which impact a small sliver of the workforce anyway) they've ceded fiscal conservatism and a position of smaller, future looking government investment to Democrats. Every Democrat in the state should make this an issue.

The rest of us will be paying the interest on the gifts we've needed to borrow for in order to be able to pass that borrowed wealth to the few friends of Walker. (How many friends would he have without buying them?)<br /><br />Notice the new talk of toll roads and gas taxes being touted as likely necessary to be imposed on those least able to afford them, yet NOTHING is discussed, even as an option, in the sense of modernizing and re-creating a vision of mass transit as a better place to be spending transportation dollars as the Kochs push for higher rates of carbon based fuels to be funneled through pipeline, truck and rail in WI with its attendant mandatory spills, explosions and air quality degradation and no regard to anything but short term profits for them and their minions. nonquixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-25613601770505121912014-05-15T11:05:12.980-05:002014-05-15T11:05:12.980-05:00As long as there is a republican in the office.

I merely pointed out that it hasn't been done. In fact, raising the tax, in 2014 or beyond, is the dumbest idea one can have to solve the long term transportation shortfall, for the exact reasons I mentioned above. So, you read my first comment fine, that is good. Now let's work on comprehension. <br /><br />And I am waiting for Anon @10:20 to chastise you for US vs THEM like he did to me.

Not surprising but interesting. <br /><br />I also love your conclusion that under liberal leadership it would be worse because we have had republican and democratic control in our history and no one has borrowed more money than Walker. <br /><br />That is my favorite thing about the new Fitzwalkerstan.

Vinehout makes no mention of Doyle robbing the transportation fund, or the decrease in vehicle miles traveled, or that the gas tax hasn't been adjusted in over a decade. Is the debt too high? maybe it is. but I wholeheartedly believe that it would be worse under liberal leadership. Coreynoreply@blogger.com
