Walker the True Progressive? And other lies.

Stooping to even newer lows, Gov. Walker is laying claim to the “progressive” mantle.

jsonline: Testifying in D.C. on the debt problems facing state and local governments, Gov. Scott Walker planned to tell a House committee Thursday morning that his own budget achieves “something truly progressive” by cutting compensation to public workers in order to avoid “massive layoffs, massive property tax increases or both.”

Progressive? Reversing policies to a time before unions. Let’s see if the definition of progressive hold up to a return to the Robber Baron age. 

Favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, especially in political matters: going forward or onward; 

No, that doesn’t work.

Another thing; did you know the “age” of bipartisanship passed just after the Republicans became the majority in the House. Makes me feel sorry for all those Republicans who expected bipartisanship the last two years, but have apparently, run out of time. 

“Sometimes, bipartisanship is not so good,” Walker said in his testimony.
