Wisc Governor Signs Balanced Budget On Time Without Raising Taxes

Wisc Governor Signs Balanced Budget On Time Without Raising Taxes

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (AP)

(Blaze/AP) Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed his first budget Sunday, a two-year $66 billion deal that will balance the state’s $3 billion shortfall without raising taxes. Balancing the budget without raising taxes fulfills a campaign pledge, and Gov. Walker was able to accomplish this prior to the new fiscal year starting July 1. The budget passed without the support of a single Democrat in the Legislature.

“He released just 50 vetoes early Sunday morning, signaling the Republican-controlled Legislature had given him almost everything he wanted when lawmakers revised the document. Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle issued 81 vetoes with the 2009-11 budget, his last before leaving office.

‘As a state, we can choose to take the easy road and push off the tough decisions and pass the buck to future generations, or we can step up to the plate and make the tough decisions today,’ Walker said in prepared remarks. ‘Our budget chooses to fix our problems now, so that our children and our grandchildren don’t face the same challenges we face today.’”

To find the state out of the fiscal quagmire which he inherited, Gov. Walker had to make major cuts including shaving $1.85 billion from education and $500 million in unspecified Medicaid programs. The budget expands Milwaukee’s school voucher program to suburban schools in Milwaukee County and the city of Racine.

Gov. Walker signed the budget before a crowd of about 100 people in Green Bay, with a few hundred protesters gathered outside chanting “Shame!“ and ”Recall Walker!” reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Democrats have criticized the budget as an attack on middle class values since it cuts funding for public schools and tax credits for poor people.

Wisconsin is scheduled to have recall elections in August that could result in Democrats gaining a majority in the Senate and with it power to block Walker and the GOP’s agenda in the future.

    Naturally the unions can’t let this stand. Expect the Federal DOJ or the NRLB to file a lawsuit against Wisconsin. I can’t for the life of think of a reason why but I am sure that they will come up with something.

    When did middle class values become welfare dependent? A good audit would expose all the waste in education and the poor generally don’t need tax cuts since they get most of the taxes back in a refund if they make less than 20k–which means they are living tax free anyway. Let’s get real in this country, Governor Walker proved a government can working within a budget and not raise taxes. No one died, no one went hungry, and the sun will still come up tomorrow.

    going to have to play hard ball in the next few weeks. Lets see if they have the kind of courage that

    A great lesson for Republicans and conservatives here is that you let the Dems have their little storming-off hissy fits, let the union organized protest mob show their ass, then you just do what needs to be done anyway.

    Screw them. This is what winning elections is about.

    Haven’t heard a whole lot of uproar out of them since they vented all that wind and their sails went limp after no real public support developed.

    BTW, has SEIU been billed with the cleanup costs of the stink and mess they left?

He may win it by an even larger margin than he won his original term with. One thing for certain, the left has a BIG mouth,coupled with a lot-lizard media(truckers will get this), it will seem like an uphill battle. But the uphill battle is with the hazbin dinosaurs on the left, they have been fully rejected, and they know it.

      So now will come the next part of the challenge on this now balanced budget (something those in DC should learn from – see it IS possible to balance a budget w/o raising taxes…)

      First: These mentioned recall elections by the left and the democrats, most likely backed with the force of union thugs and intimidation – expect major cheeting to be ‘discovered’ on the part of any of the lets oppostion – or so they will claim.

      Second: Lawsuits are most likely now being prepared and/or filed in state and federal courts on the matter of medicare cuts and education cuts.

      I hope the Governor and the Conservatives can hold on to their strength; all hades is about to break loose against them unlike they have seen yet.

      @Cheezwhiz:

      I am not one of the leftists or the trolls here (though some may think so on occasion); yet I will take a shot in what I see as their meaning of the “middle class values…”

      Middle Class Values: Anything supported by the left, the progressives, the radicals, the anarchists, and the useful idiots out there while enhancing further government regulations and growth beyond the bloated and monsterous size it already has achieved and ordaining more and more handouts until the system implodes under it’s own weight.

      Then again, as most of the left are somewhere in Wonderland having lunch and tea with the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire and the Mad Hatter it is pretty much the same thing.

      I get so many snickers when I hear retards like Geithner and Obama peddling their Fabian mantra under pinned by the mentally stunted economics applications of John Keynes. They lift them up as the Savior of Western Europe coming out of WWII, when most anyone who takes the time to study, knows that the period known as the Western European Miracle was a mixed economy that was chiefly underpinned by the Marshall Plan. Keynes’ ideals had marginal at most impact.

      Tax and spend, or better phrased, rob and bribe, is no way to run an economy, and that’s ALL a modern liberal knows.

      Stalin was correct in saying that the economy would fail in Europe. He just missed the mark by about 40 years. When Capitalism is rooted in Cronyism, economic expansion is going to be extremely limited in the long term.

      Obama and the unions must be beside themselves after this news.

      This also means I don’t have to sell the property I own in Wisconsin – just yet. I still believe Wisconsin is generally a poorly-run state (all you have to do is look at property tax rates), but this is certainly going to send a signal to the bottom-feeding public sector worker that Wisconsin doesn’t have endless amount of monies to fund extravagant retirements. If you people were aware of the amount of salary and medical benefits teachers and other public sector workers in Wisconsin currently receive, your jaws would drop. I still can’t believe it myself, considering that doesn’t necessarily count what each worker decides to put away for themselves independent of what the taxpayer pays. It’s still ridiculously high in Wisconsin (the benefits), but not as bad as before. Hopefully every decade they can pare more and more fat off these benefits.

      I still don’t understand how at least half of Americans (or more) feel the public sector workers are getting the shaft considering private sector works have to be at least twice as productive as public sector works, or they’d be fired. Private sectors workers also basically get NOTHING for retirement from their employer. The lowest paid pub workers in Wisconsin currently receive over $1600/month for life – that’s just salary. Times by 30 years and almost 600k!!! That’s for menial county workers in the local courthouse, etc. It’s crazy.

      You have hit upon one corner of an interesting matter; the majority of the left feel that only large and controling government can decide what and how people can handle their lives; this comes down to the governence of man (where the individual is responsible for self) and of men (the collective).

      In this country for too long we have allowed the freedoms and liberties we enjoy, along with those responsibilities we have to make sure they are retained in the hands of the people, to be sold or taken away without complaint from the majority.

      Our country is a unique experience and experiment in the world; where we constantly seek to find the balance point in which the rights and needs of the individual strive with the rights and needs of the masses; the difference in America is our history is balanced for the individual and not the collective.

      THAT is part of the true dream of America; long may we hold onto our freedom.

      @ SpankDaMonkey
      The reason I want libloons to define ‘middle class’
      ( or any other term they want to rant their sore@$$ yapping points on)
      is because what they are told a term means is totally opposite to what people like you and me understand it to be .For example, when they say
      “ immigrants”
      they mean illegals, specially from mehico .
      When they say “ education” , they don’t mean students and learning, they mean teachers union and tenured unionized school employees.
      When they say “ peace” they don’t mean peace but actual support of jihad against Americans.
      When they say “ social justice ” they mean kill whitey after looting their money. Etc etc .
      Thats why its really important to be on the same page with them as to their understanding of the issues in their own language called libberish.
      Libtverds have been given a special re-education in the English language and what they say only makes sense to those who are either complete moronic idiots or
      dimwits stoned out of their minds
      or both at the same time. Thats why we sane people have to set the terminology straight before we make sense of their ramblings just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing

      @ Showtime
      Had to go home and get supper done .
      Anyhoo, did you notice that the multifaced Sore@$$ hack has still not stated the meaning of the term
      “ middle class values ” ?
      This is the classic troll tactic. They have been trained to never explain themselves . All they have been trained to do is to keep deflecting and distracting from the topic and keep attacking , insulting, stalking and use any tactic to keep the other person on the defensive . They don’t know what to say anytime they are asked something outside their training .
      Thats why I think any candidate from our side, when appearing with any libtwerd on any show on the MFMedia should make the terminology cleared up before trying to comment on it .
      For example, like today when that FNC‘s Wallace asked Michelle Bachmann if she was a ’flake’, she should have shot back ” what do mean by tthe word flake Wallace, and why do you think I am one ”
      Can you imagine how THAT conversation would have gone ? Instead of Bachmann ending up on the defensive having to detail her academic, legal, business and legislative experience, she could have forced Wallace to describe her life’s achievements. And then forced him to apologize on air for being a sexist jack@$$.

      I`m sure we will be hearing a congradulation/good job from President Obama very very soon. He will say that the Unions acted stupidly and that Richard Trumka is an idiot. And he will denounce the mass of filth that over ran the State Capital of Wisconsin for weeks. Obama should be man enough to appologize to Governer Walker and the people of Wisconson as well as to the rest of the United States for what he allowed to happened and basically stood behind the act of the Unions and Communist in the City of Madison Wisconson.

      “Wisconsin is scheduled to have recall elections in August that could result in Democrats gaining a majority in the Senate and with it power to block Walker and the GOP’s agenda in the future.”

      Shows how biased AP is, they actually seem to be rooting for the Dems here and fail to mention that there are a few Dems “up for recall” too!

      CheezWhiz, I might consider doing your homework assignment when you stop hiding behind the skirt of ShowTime.

      You are actually a paid troll whose job it is to energize haters to get more postings on the Blaze. You are too scared of the repercussions to speak straightly and directly about your hate program. That’s why folks need to be “educated” in the racist, homophobic, anti-muslim and sniggering “read between the lines” messages you poop out like hamster droppings on any site with a Black Face, Islamic mention, or Gay topic.
      Or, maybe I am wrong, so here is your Michelle Moment:
      Using your own language; What is your Purpose on the Blaze?

      Isn’t middle class code for public sector union workers, who’s union dues are used as democrat campaign contributions, no wonder the democrats want to protect the middle class.

      “Middle Class Values” is the term that replaced “houseslaves”
