fAfter reducing public employee wages, their discretionary spending cash, the Walker administration basically stopped the states economic recovery by killing demand.
While gutting public education to the tune of $800 million and possibly dropping between 50-65,000 Wisconsinites from Badgercare due to a $500 million shortfall, Walker passed out $2.3 billion in tax breaks to corporations.
The topper? When a reporter asked Sen. Alberta Darling what would happen if the the tax cuts didn't work, she responded that they would try more tax cuts.
This is bookkeeping, Republican style. Only a complete idiot would continue to use the term "fiscal conservative," a media created myth promoted by conservative think tanks.
So what has Wisconsin given up, after blaming the middle class for Wall Streets economic meltdown?
Jobs! From the chart below, keep in mind Walker did not create the jobs counted in his first 6 months.
