Scott Walker: Economic genius!

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Scott Walker: I can defeat ISIS because I defeated 100,000 union protesters.

They weren't armed, you idiot.

I saw that and almost fell out of my chair laughing. Of course he's trying to claim that he wasn't actually making a comparison between Ferguson protesters and ISIS now that he's being lambasted for it.

I see VetteBigot has doubled down ion the derp-fest though.

Walker is just making new enemies everywhere he goes... He's even managed to piss off his Republican AG.

Buried within Gov. Scott Walker’s $68 billion budget proposal for Wisconsin is a gutpunch for advocates for assault victims: provisions to end requirements for colleges and universities to report sexual assaults on campus to state law enforcement.

Walker’s proposed budget stipulates the deletion of “the requirement that any person employed at an institution who witnesses a sexual assault on campus or receives a report from a student enrolled in the institution that the student has been sexually assaulted report the assault to the dean of students.”

Walker also aims to “delete the requirement that each institution report annually to the Department of Justice (DOJ) statistics on sexual assaults” in a bill section on page 508 in a section titled, “Delete Language Related to Sexual Assault Information and Reporting.”

I imagine he's concerned about the incidence of sexual assaults.. Well, he's concerned about them being reported anyway.

Elizabeth Warren: "If Scott Walker sees 100,000 teachers & firefighters as his enemies, maybe it's time we take a closer look at his friends."

Scott Walker was out proving his foreign policy expertise again this weekend, Wisconsplaining how not knowing diddly about those foreigns isn’t really all that important as long as you have the mental toughness to break a union or two. For instance, just look at what Walker said was Ronald Reagan’s greatest foreign-policy achievement: firing all the striking air traffic controllers in 1981. This is what sets Scott Walker apart from other Republicans. Where the average Republican would reflexively say tax cuts are the solution to every problem, Scott Walker boldly goes with union busting.

Derpshit!

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Walker is fixing Wisc!

 

[RjThoughts]

Yes he is, spaying and neutering.

Scott Walker, who is laying the groundwork for a White House run in 2016, had previously assured Wisconsinites that a right-to-work bill would never reach his desk, and said as recently as December 2014 that such a measure would be a "distraction."


If the Republicans could only act this fast to cure the state's looming $2.2 billion budget deficit without laying waste to public education and job creation (the Walker budget actually cuts jobs). First things first! they cry. Let's kill all the unions!

The bill, introduced just more than two weeks ago, drew thousands of protesters to the state Capitol as the Senate and then the Assembly passed the fast-tracked proposal.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/lo...cle_8ee9b23c-99a1-5554-96e8-44f0fd01e8b4.html

Following a heated, all-night debate between lawmakers in Madison, the Wisconsin state assembly passed right-to-work legislation on Friday morning, sending the controversial bill to the desk of Gov. Scott Walker (R).

Once Walker signs the anti-union bill, as he has promised to do, Wisconsin will become the 25th right-to-work state in the country, further weakening an already-diminished labor movement in the state.


Under U.S. labor law, a union that wins an election in a workplace must represent all the workers in the bargaining unit, even the ones who may have voted against the union. Since that representation costs money, unions prefer contracts that require all the workers in the unit to support the union financially. Right-to-work laws bar such requirements.


Under right to work, no employee can be compelled to pay fees to the union. Once provided with an out, many workers naturally choose to stop supporting it, even though they remain covered by the union's contract. As workers withdraw their support, the union becomes less effective at bargaining and organizing new members.


After Walker signs the Wisconsin bill, half of the states in the country will be right-to-work -- a symbolic victory for the conservatives and business interests who have long advanced the measures. The percentage of workers in the private sector who belong to a union has dropped below seven percent, and the proliferation of right-to-work laws will make it even harder for unions to maintain their steadily diminishing membership rolls.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/06/wisconsin-right-to-work_n_6816672.html

Unions representing engineers, police, firefighters, plumbers, carpenters and other trades contributed more than $83,000 in 2013-14 to help reelect Republican Gov. Scott Walker, despite his successful 2011 effort to slash public employee collective bargaining rights and his support for a state right-to-work law.”

http://www.wisdc.org/pr022715.php

Wisconsin AFL-CIO declared on its blog: "Right to work will drive down wages and benefits, decrease safety standards and weaken the middle class. Republicans are clearly more concerned with advancing the rights of out-of-state special interests who write their campaign checks than protecting the rights and protecting the wages of hard-working Wisconsinites."


Wisconsin Republicans have called a special session to take up a "right to work" measure attacking private sector unions--and the text of the bill, the Center for Media and Democracy has discovered, is taken word-for-word from (Koch sponsored) American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) model legislation.

Derpshit!

I had to confirm that one. Sure enough, that is what he said.

Scott Walker calls Reagan’s bust of air traffic controller strike ‘most significant foreign policy decision’

Fuck Scott Walker and the 16th century ideology.
Wisconsin is on its way to compete with Missoury in the race to the bottom.

Time and time again economists have proven that publicly financed stadia and arenas are NOT the economic boon franchise owners make them out to be. If they were, they'd build them themselves and reap ALL the economic benefits for themselves!!!

This is the most asinine thing the non-grad has done.

You mean proposed.

It hasn't passed yet. I have serious doubts about Red counties paying taxes to help Blue Milwaukee with it's new civic arena. It already has two. The Bucks don't normally sell out the one they're using ( last I heard). The surrounding counties are still paying a sales tax surcharge to support the baseball stadium, which was supposed to be concluded by now. I don't see how that boosts business.

The residents of the rest of the state look to the Packers model, whereby stadium enhancements and expansions are paid for by fan support, and ask why other teams can't do that.

State financing is conceivable, state funding is not. Especially when Milwaukee itself is offering more lip service than money.

Walker signs "right to work" bill.

7-year-old asks Scott Walker, "Do you even care about climate change?" Walker has no coherent answer.

In Wisconsin, Scott Walker's proposed budget scares Republicans.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s new budget has such major slashes that even the GOP is getting nervous about it. Of course it does sport a number of characteristics one would expect Republicans to champion, like cuts to environmental programs and schools, but with the first votes looming on Walker’s two-year plan, it seems that local Republicans think he’s finally pushed too far when it comes to the disabled and the elderly.

Koch brothers reportedly throw their support behind Gov. Scott Walker in 2016 GOP field

It is official, Scott Walker is the designated Koch sucker!

Billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, the influential conservative donors, have settled on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as their top choice to win the 2016 Republican nomination for U.S. president, the New York Times reported on Monday.

David Koch said at a fundraiser for the New York State Republican Party on Monday that he and his brother would support the party’s eventual nominee in the general election, but that it should be Walker, the paper reported, citing two people in attendance.

The Koch brothers are among the best-known conservative donors, and potential Republican candidates court their favor. The pair has said they plan to spend nearly $900 million during the 2016 campaign cycle.

For $900M you could do a lot of good, or a lot of damage!

Why? It's a good reminder that we really do need to invest in not only physical healthcare, but mental healthcare as well.

NeverEndingMoron very obviously has some sort of impairment and could likely benefit from mental health treatments now available to it through the ACA. I'm not sure if it's just a learning disability or if the constant repetition of inaccurate statements are just a coping mechanism developed to cover for the self loathing brought on be it's own dependence on public assistance.

NeverEndingMe makes me think of a repressed homosexual who is known for his homophobic remarks.

There is no multiplier effect with money spend on publicly financed stadia. Tax money spent on them is tax money not spent on public education, public libraries, and so on. Money spent on sports tickets is money not spent on theater tickets, restaurant meals, and so on.

I assume you can prove this? Because it sounds like one of those things that's made up.

we need more taxes to give people more welfare

fuck that, get a job you obama slave

It is. Sports are a bigger driver of tourism than performing arts or cuisine.

That's what I would assume. Very rarely do you hear about people driving hundreds or thousands of miles to eat at Joe's Shack, but where I live is probably the closest major urban area to the California Speedway (you saw it in Charlies Angels) and every couple of months the super markets mark up liquor 20% and sell the fuck out, same with anything you can BBQ, us locals can't even get out of our goddamn houses. So not only would it at the state and city level pull in more business but we live in a consumer economy. A dollar saved hurts the economy and I'm sure it's cheaper to go out to eat than to a major sporting event.
