- Where do I go to get my money back?
- Should Walker really be bragging when he has a lot more than $9 million in problems to answer for?
- Why are the Teapublicans celebrating this news when it only means that we were either overtaxed or under-served or both?

had to check in to see what you had to say about budget surplus.Thanks. you won me a bet..."where's my money" first words out !!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't mind being over taxed?
ReplyDeleteSince the furlough days were implemented because of an emergency deficit, then they should be cancelled because it turns out there wasn't a deficit after all. It's as simple as that. I like how Walker is bragging that he did it without implementing layoffs or privitization. Tell that to all the housekeepers and security guards who were privitized. And I think a month without pay (furlough days) could be considered a layoff.
ReplyDeleteIs this post about high taxes or is it about Walker claiming an $8.9M surplus?
ReplyDeleteI think it's outstanding that Walker could achieve a budgetary surplus in tough economic times without raising taxes. Now it's what he does with it that matters.
It sure didn't hurt getting millions from the stimulus either:) Yes, Milwaukee County accepted millions.
ReplyDeleteHow much of the "surplus" is from the stimulus money?
ReplyDeleteHysterical.
ReplyDeleteLibs upset at a competent County Exec.
Par for the course.
If Walker was competent, there wouldn't have been a budget "crisis" in the first place, because he and his staff would have known it was under control all the way, and used their cushion to take care of some of that deferred maintenance. Talk about your soft bigotry of low expectations!
ReplyDeleteAs Dave brings up, how much of this "surplus" is really stimulus carry-over that has to be spent in the next 2 years? The City of Milwaukee had $50 million of this going into 2010.
If your poster boy Tom Ament was competent, Scott Walker would have never been elected.
ReplyDeleteChew on that, then reply Jake.
Walker knew that there was a surplus. He only lied about it in order to create this very grandstanding moment.
ReplyDeleteThe funny part is that it is going to come back to bite him in the ass when he has to answer for it in court as AFSCME fights for a decent contract.
Where do I get my money back? Hahaha Join the real world. BTW, it's not your money, it's the taxpayers money.
ReplyDeleteDan, show me where government employees don't pay taxes. I can't find it anywhere.
ReplyDelete"My poster boy" Tom Ament? Who the F do you think you're talking to and what the F are you talking about? Are you seriously going to try that deflection game to take away from your guy's incomeptence and idiocy? What does Tom Ament have to do with Scott Walker's lies and ham-handedness in 2010? Z-E-R-O.
ReplyDeleteAnd at least have the guts to put your name behind the weak-sauce drive-by you tried. Maybe that cuts it at your medicore Initech job that you were never good enough to rise above and blamed liberals like me for passing you over, but it doesn't cut it when you're dealing with contributors and people who actually do work during the day.
Lame whiners like you are exactly why people with IQ's above ground level won't vote Republican for at least the next 20 years, and why Scotty won't get out of the primary once legit news organizations start asking him real questions that he can't pose around. DEAL WITH IT.
The last thing we need to do is lay off people anywhere during a recession. This is simply bold ignorance by Walker. No one could ever accuse him or realistic or creative thinking.
ReplyDeleteBTW -- Jake, you've got to hang around here more. You'll love right wing tool Dan.
