Walker gave away the surplus to rich, whines there's a shortage

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

And now wants to take it from labor? Is that it in a nutshell?

What a nightmare! Is this really true?

1. Right from the GOP playbook

Give the rich huge tax cuts then complain about deficits and say there's no money for anything else.

Too bad our president also buys into this....

2. Yes. It is true. You no long have to wonderwhy. . .

When the child labor laws are gutted, and the weekend disappears in the rear view window, you will know when and why it happened.

3. Thousands of people voted against their own interests to put in these jerks.

This misbegotten Gov. Walker along with Gov. Idiot - er, Kasich - represent terrible mistakes made by the voters in Wisconsin and Ohio. Everything they do and say is pro-corporate, pro-rich, and anti-human. Of course! They're republicans. Thanks a lot, republican voters. For nothing.

4. Yes, that's it in a nutshell.

5. It's called "Starving the Beast" - conservative strategy for decades.

Tax cuts for the rich, build the military industrial complex, then say there's nothing left for social programs.

Every liberal administration has to fight to get the budget back on track, and is accused of not living up to campaign promises.

6. Yes, that's it in a nutshell. But add that this is PLANNED STRATEGY.

It's radical. It's extremist. But it's working and many Americans are just hunky-dory with it in their delusions and lack of information and their obliviousness.

7. That is the PLAN.

8. Yes. we were on course to have a surplus this year.

He gave it away to Corp. tax breaks.

10. And the $3.6 billion deficit you keep hearing about was fabricated as well.

Walker spun this as we will be billions in debt by the end of the next biennium - when in actuality that number is based merely on what various agencies were ASKING for. It is ridiculous to think the agencies would actually be given everything they have requested.

9. Yes, that's it. //nt
