Scott Walker: Economic genius!

[Busybody]

Walker is an economic DUMMY

CuntCliton is a genius


More problems for Hillary Clinton? Could be…

Today’s Wall Street Journal has a new report out on Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State and potential conflicts of interest with donors to the Clinton Foundation. In summary, Hillary helped Swiss banking giant UBS negotiate a favorable deal with the IRS regarding an investigation into Americans who had secret accounts at the bank and then — surprise, surprise — donations from UBS poured into the Clinton Foundation as well as $1.5 million paid to Bill Clinton in speaking fees.

However, history actually shows that the U.S. economy, stock prices and corporate profits have generated stronger growth under Democratic administrations than Republican ones.

Wisconsin assembly decides it’s too hot to change Bucks arena bill, votes it in without debate

As expected, the Wisconsin state assembly easily passed the Milwaukee Bucks arena bill yesterday, 52-34; as slightly less expected, it didn’t make even insignificant changes to the language, or debate it in the slightest, just straight-up voting on what the state senate passed last week:

“I’m ready to go home,” [Rep. Dean] Knudson said. “We’re here in the summer. It wasn’t going to change anything.”

The arena deal now heads to Gov. Scott Walker, who will certainly sign it, though there’s some calls for him to veto the part of the bill that will direct part of a ticket tax to the state instead of the state-run arena district, which has to be the least interesting amendment possible to the deal unless you work in the arena district budget office. Next up would be Milwaukee’s city council, which is headed by that opposition leader from The Thick of It, and which isn’t expected to throw up any significant roadblocks either. It won’t vote until September, though, so expect lots more public squabbles in the interim over things that don’t really matter and don’t ultimately change anything, because that’s what elected officials do when they want to seem important but don’t want to rock any boats.

Bucks before books!

It’s worth noting that the Bucks three biggest owners, Edens, Lasry and Dinan, are together worth more than $5 billion. They could have given generously and secretly to Walker’s support group, in order to help assure the huge 30-year taxpayer contribution to the team. Then you add millionaires like Klappa, Joerres, Kellner and others who are Bucks’ minority investors. It would hardly be a surprise if some of them contributed to Walker. That’s how the political game is played.

Except that now it’s played much differently, in secret. At least in Wisconsin, as a result of the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, it’s now legal for campaigns to coordinate with groups registered as “independent” advocacy groups, and thereby benefit from unlimited secret donations. So we’ll never know who contributed the $20 million to Walker’s secret PAC or what kind of favoritism they might be seeking from him. That, frankly, is far more disturbing than the one connection — involving Hammes — that we do know about.

This weekend, Scott Walker is going to join the Koch brothers in a little gathering.

Four leading GOP presidential candidates – Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker – are traveling to a Southern California luxury hotel in coming days to make their cases directly to the Koch brothers and hundreds of other wealthy conservatives planning to spend close to $1 billion in the run-up to the 2016 election.


The gathering – which also will include former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, but notably not Sen. Rand Paul — is hosted by Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the umbrella group in the Kochs’ increasingly influential network of political and public policy outfits. It represents a major opportunity for the candidates at a pivotal moment in the presidential primary.

Well of course none of the conservatives will bitch, since they love these kind of things!

The Bucks ownership CAN afford the arena. They're just fucking cheap like most sports franchise owners, I say most since Giants and Jets paid for their stadium on their own, and Yankees and Mets had the state pick up the cost of clean up and/or surrounding area building.

Planned Parenthood Received Millions After Lobbying Hillary Clinton’s State Department

Screen Shot 2015-07-31 at 10.17.54 PM

Major stories suddenly converge…

Via Free Beacon:

Planned Parenthood lobbied the Department of State many times during Hillary Clinton’s tenure there and received tens of millions of dollars from foreign policy agencies over the past few years, according to a new report.

As secretary of state, Clinton attacked the Mexico City Policy, which bans federal funding of abortion overseas. Her husband revoked the policy during his administration and President Obama lifted the ban upon taking office in 2009. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which is tied to the State Department, steered more than $100 million in funding to Planned Parenthood, its international affiliates, and the pro-abortion Population Council between 2010 and 2012, according to the Government Accountability Office—about 20 percent of the nearly $500 million pro-abortion organizations received from taxpayers during that time frame.

‘Honest mistake’ alert! Huma Abedin was reportedly ‘overpaid’ $10,000 working for Hillary at State Dept.


A State Department investigation has reportedly found that Hillary Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin was overpaid in the neighborhood of $10,000 when she worked at State during Hillary’s tenure as secretary:


As with most things that involve the Clintons, the excuse involves a tangled explanation:

State Department investigators concluded this year that Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s closest aides, was overpaid by nearly $10,000 because of violations of rules governing vacation and sick leave during her tenure as an official in the department.

The finding — which Abedin has formally contested — emerged publicly Friday after Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry and others seeking more information about an investigation into possible “criminal” conduct by Abedin concerning her pay.

Funny that these kinds of “honest mistakes” and “oversights” never seem to lead to a Clinton or their pals being underpaid.

George Bush

3,000 dead in one day
Outing of undercover CIA agent whose husband showed evidence used to justify invading a country was false
$3+ trillion spent invading and occupying a country which had nothing to do with anything
Overthrow of government leads directly to rise of Al Qaeda and Daesh and increase in terrorism
~6,800 military deaths in Iraq
Multi-billion dollar no bid contracts given to company where former Vice President used to be an executive
Financial collapse of economy
$700 billion given directly to private companies so they could pay out their bonuses
8.7 million jobs lost from financial collapse
Creation of TSA which treats citizens as criminals
Gutting of 4th Amendment via PATRIOT Act
Forced phone carriers to install wire taps without warrants to listen in on citizens phone calls

When either Clinton can come close to what Bush did, you let me know.

Less money from federal sources, for women's healthcare, more money for fake healthcare centers run by unlicensed, uneducated volunteers.


Scott Walker votes for more time and money wasted, on fighting in court.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed an extreme 20 week abortion ban into law last week.

The law, which bans abortions performed past 20 weeks, has no exception whatsoever for rape, incest, or fatal fetal anomalies. Such extreme abortion bans have been overturned time after time, as they directly contradict of the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, as Roe protects a patient's right to abortion until fetal viability, around 24 weeks.

A handful of anti-choice politicians and organizations maintain that fetuses can feel pain at 20 weeks, a claim that is widely contested by the vast majority of the medical community.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have released a letter urging the legislature and governor to oppose the bill. "This is bad medicine, based on the thoroughly debunked fallacy that a 20-week fetus - which is not viable - can feel pain," the letter reads. "These bills would undoubtedly place us in the unconscionable position of having to watch our patients and their loved ones undergo additional emotional trauma, illness and suffering during what is already a difficult time."

The law represents Walker's rapidly changing political stance. While campaigning for the governorship last year, Walker presented himself as a moderate on abortion and claimed to support legislation that would leave "the final decision to a woman and her doctor." Walker is now a presidential candidate and is increasingly taking more anti-abortion stances.

“Truth be told is the best way to help people get better wages is not to grow the economy but to help people get a better education and the skills and the qualifications,” Walker said in response.
“Are you saying the minimum wage is not supposed to be a livable wage?” Kilmeade asked.
Walker answered:


The best way to do that is to … I don’t want to fight about the minimum wage. I want to lift everybody up, and the way to do that is through education. You don’t do that through a government dictate, you say let’s get people the education and the skills and the qualifications they need for careers that pay far more than the minimum wage. That should be our ultimate goal. People will be better off if the get the skills they need to be worth more to their employer and they’ll be making more than that $15.
Walker proposed a state budget that would slash $300 million from the University of Wisconsin over two years and cut $127 million from public primary schools. The state budget also continues a freeze on state special education aid for the eighth year in a row and erodes teacher licensing standards by requiring the state department of education to give permits to teachers who haven’t completed a bachelor’s degree, according to The Washington Post.
A U.S. Census Bureau report, issued in May 2014, which covers the fiscal year of 2011-12, shows that Wisconsin’s decrease in per pupil spending from the 2010-11 year was the highest of all 50 states. There was a 3.6 percent rise in per pupil spending in 2010-11, a 2.6 percent rise in 2009-10 and 3.6 percent rise in 2008-09 before Walker was sworn in as governor.

The GAO calls shenanigans on this argument even from a static perspective:

According to the Government Accountability Office, the roughly 1,200 community health centers in the U.S. serve over 21 million people per year. Planned Parenthood, by contrast, serves 2.7 million people.

“These are comprehensive health care centers, something that Planned Parenthood is not,” said Mallory Quigley, a spokeswoman for Susan B. Anthony List.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Maybe it should have been a tip-off that the two 20-somethings were so overly excited to meet Scott Walker. Like dramatically excited. The young woman was literally bouncing with excitement. And the young man had a homemade sign declaring that the Republican governor should become president.

As Scott Walker smiled and put his arms around Tyler McFarland, 23, and Giselle Hart, 20, the sign flipped. Suddenly Walker was posing with a fake, game-show-style check made out to him from the billionaire Koch brothers, Charles Koch and David Koch, who plan to spend $889 million on the upcoming election.

Also, a medical/scientific genius!

http://m.jsonline.com/news/statepol...ife-a-false-choice-b99553080z1-321141741.html

Gov. Scott Walker says choosing between the life of a pregnant woman and her fetus is a "false choice," adding that he believes better options are always available.

"I've said for years, medically there's always a better choice than choosing between the life of an unborn baby and the life of the mother," he added. "Medically that's just a nonissue."


Walker answered that he has a position on the issue "that's in line with everyday America."

"Well, I'm pro-life, I've always been pro-life, and I've got a position that I think is consistent with many Americans out there," Walker said to applause from the crowd at the GOP debate in Cleveland. "I believe that that is an unborn child that's in need of protection out there, and I've said many a time that that unborn child can be protected, and there are many other alternatives that can also protect the life of that mother. That's been consistently proven."

When asked what better medical options are available — and whether Walker believes there are no instances in which a family and doctors have to choose between the life of the pregnant woman and the life of her fetus — his campaign spokeswoman AshLee Strong repeated late Friday that he is "100% pro-life."

"He acknowledges what science says, and that is that an unborn child is that — a child, and deserving of protection," Strong said.
