Scott Walker will come back to Wisconsin and make his first term look like a liberal's dream. With his sights set on a cabinet post, a FoxNews slot, or a run in 2020 (he's still young) he will double down on his ALEC sponsored, KOCH approved agenda. And if I was a public employee in the State of Wisconsin I would hunker down because here come even more health costs, no salary increases and the big gorilla major changes to the retirement system. There is $1 billion+ to be had by a Wall Street firm if they are allowed to manage the revamped retirement system (and that's with fees of just 1%). If anyone thinks they're not going to find a way to tap that cash cow you're kidding yourself.

If you work for a living, something the Koch bros know NOTHING about, you are at war with very powerful and rich people.

as I said in other post, the whole 'blame the campaign manager' thing is a cover

he is still gonna use the state to get his national ambition

I don't think he has the visage for TV,,,too beady eyed

But then again, Todd Starns

and you know he will now that he has the time. He will try and parlay their success to his ambition

the response he gets there at Lambeau should be a good test

have been hinting at 'reform' for a few years now. Maybe you are right about the media but I doubt it.
