Politifact looked into the claim and rated it mostly true. In an economy that runs on supply and demand, Scott Walker's policies have taken some $3,000,000,000 out of the Wisconsin economy!
Wisconsin has paid, and paid, and paid, and paid the price!

That's exactly what he was put there to do. Mission accomplished.
ReplyDeleteLiberal-progressive-socialist math: If the government doesn't spend it, the money has been "taken out of the economy." Priceless!
ReplyDeleteIts actually the law of supply and demand. if people dont have the money they cant spend it.
DeleteMore like "If it never comes into the economy... it never comes into the economy!" $810 million in train money. $206 million in Medicaid money. That's money you and I (well, I, anyway) paid to the Feds in taxes that ain't ever coming back to WI (though IL and CA thank us for the extra choo-choo dough!). And that's not even counting the multiplier effect -- what WI businesses would have benefited from those investments?
DeleteMaybe you don't care where your tax money goes but I do -- I want it working for me here!
That is NOT the law of supply and demand. Regardless, if government takes their money, people can't spend it. By your reckoning, the old communist Soviet Union should have had a roaring good economy. Instead, it imploded.
ReplyDeleteIf the government spends money on education, the teachers and schools spend the money. Munitions do not spend money. Munitions just blow up our capital and somebody else's capital and people.
Deletei guess we went to different business schools. i wish i went to yours would have been much cheaper and less work.
ReplyDeleteAnd took different history classes. Did the state-run economy of East Germany out-perform or under-perform the free-market economy of West Germany?
ReplyDeleteGermany outperformed the US during the latest recession, and it is far closer to socialism than the US. You conflate Bolshevik economic centralism with any form of public socially beneficial endeavor. Your logic is flawed.
DeleteI dont have time for silly straw man arguments, take them elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteCompensating teachers fairly hardly compensates a state run economy.
Are you saying the Monona Grove school district, on whose school board you serve, is not fairly compensating its teachers? How much higher should Monona Grove/State of Wisconsin taxes be?
ReplyDeleteThats exactly what I am saying, they did not deserve the 12% salary cut that was forced on them. I would love to pay them more but we cant afford the dramatic cut that was given us either. Since my taxes have went up all four years that scott walker has been in office, they should not be any higher. As I have stated, the fiscal conservatives in WI are breaking me.
ReplyDeleteWe could try to spend our money more efficiently. I know where we could find an extra 209 million.
