Walker Has No College Degree...

Remember Folks: The same wackadoodles that screamed about Obama being ineligible to be President because he was foreign born, love the Canadian Cruz.
 
I don't care that Walker doesn't have a college degree, and Democrats/liberals who harp on it sound petty.

But trying to spin it into actually being a positive is even dumber.



But why make a thread without a simple google-fu fact check?


He was just repeating some bullshit he heard on a talk show. I looked it up myself because (for good reason) it sounded hard to believe, but just wanting to believe it is good enough for some folks.
 
Wait a moment, you mean free market capitalism isn't the solution to every problem?
That the all mighty dollar is not the definitive measure of worth?
That perhaps, some areas that benefit society as a whole are possibly better left as not-for-(financial)profit enterprises?
Who would manage such non-(financial)profit enterprises intended to benefit society as a whole? And how would such enterprises be funded?

You'll never get miles to engage in conversation when you oppose his one sided views of his tiny world.

hell, we still don't know if obama is half American. Clearly, we do know that the Cuckold obama doesn't stand up for America

It works that way with a lot of RW talking points and correcting them won't shut them down. See PRATT.
 
All we have to know about Walker is, he was smart enough to take on the very best the Unions and the Democrat Party could bring to bear, and kick their asses in three elections in four years and in the court system. He was strong enough to endure their threats to his life and the lives of his family. He persevered to take his state from a budget deficit to a 900 million dollar budget surplus. Walker is a fighter, Americans like a fighter.

Walker is who theyre all afraid of.

And he did this in a state with more registered Democrats than Republicans.
 
Walker is the GOP's only chance at winning the presidential election. Conservatives just won't turn out for a lame ass RINO.

But, he ruined his state's economy in the process, and now he's trying to gut its university system. He can't run on that record in the general election -- sure he can in the primary, but in the general he'll have to pretend he never even heard of Wisconsin -- that's somewhere in Nebraska, right?

Except for the 15 before him.

And you were so close to being factually correct in one of your posts.

Thank you. vetteman's ignorance of facts beyond his life illustrates the value of a college education.
 
the ironic part is that obama and 'the_trobe' with their higher education would bankrupt a McDonald's in weeks (if allowed to become a manager)

Scott Walker cut $541 million in taxes last year. Now his state will miss a $108 million debt payment.

To help close the state’s $283 million budget shortfall this year, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) plans to skip a $108 million debt payment scheduled for May.

Walker, a likely presidential candidate whose campaign message rooted in Wisconsin’s fiscal record, has been struggling to balance the budget in his home state before the June 30 deadline. Pushing off debt payments is one tactic that he and predecessors have used in the past.

By missing the May payment, Walker will incur about $1.1 million in additional interest fees between 2015 and 2017. The $108 million debt will continue to live on the books; Walker’s budget proposal for 2015-2017 will pay down no more than about $18 million of the principal.

“This latest accounting gimmick kicks the can further down the road and will end up costing taxpayers millions more,” State Sen. Jennifer Shilling (D) said in a press release yesterday.

Democrats have been pressuring Walker to address the estimated $283 million shortfall with an emergency budget bill, but he has resisted so far. Restructuring this kind of debt does not require legislative sign-off. Walker may also be forced to make emergency government spending cuts in the next four months to make ends meet.

In March last year, Walker signed a $541 million tax cut for both families and businesses. At that point, Wisconsin was facing a $1 billion budget surplus through June 2015, the Journal Sentinel reported.

By November last year, the administration was estimating a $132 million shortfall. In January, the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau pegged it at $283 million. The Bureau, which does research for the Wisconsin Legislature, explained that tax collections were $173 million worse than the administration’s own estimates in November.

The Walker administration argues that pushing off the debt payment is a smart financial move. “The State is taking advantage of unusually strong, favorable short-term interest rates for these notes,” spokesperson Cullen Werwie wrote in an e-mail.

Looking ahead, the administration also faces a $2 billion gap between what Wisconsin agencies have requested in their budgets over the next two years, and Wisconsin’s projected revenues. His budget proposal for 2015-2017, released earlier this month, includes a controversial $300 million cut to the University of Wisconsin System.

Walker has bragged that he has approved $2 billion in tax cuts since he took office in 2011. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau told PolitiFact in March that the claim is accurate.

So that's what fiscal conservatism looks like, does it?

Then let us never hear of it again.
