"United Wisconsin is an independent, grassroots organization of citizens restoring the Wisconsin tradition of democracy in action."

FALSE. You lying liberals.

Well that's one opinion.

Thanks Patch for gushing a story sourcing one of the most illegitimate hack groups alive. Your cred just took a dive! Pity.

Shame shame shame. Hahaha epic fail you live in an alternate reality.

Don't we now judge 'jobs created' by the new and bogus standard applied to One President and no other president,governor or candidate in all of American history?

That would be the metric that is un-measurable, -jobs “created or saved”-

I'm sure Walker CREATED (or saved) 250,000 jobs.

Didn’t Scott Walker beat Tom Barrett by an even bigger margin the second time?

#epicfail

I was denied a blog because I wanted to publish it using my screen name. I was told it was the Patch's policy that blogs needed a real name. Allowing this blog seems inconsistant with that policy.

So, if I establish an organization and create AvengingAngel.com, Patch will allow me to publish?

Heather is a blue fister, what else is new?

Corporations are NOT People! - the sign on your websites front page.

Well, the LAW says otherwise, and that was long before the ruling that informed the public of a long accepted precept of law.

You'd think there was a conspiracy to keep the American people stupid...

Meanwhile, Wisconsin United is just another public employee organization designed to fool the working man and senior citizens -

Corporations = People = Defendants and Plaintiffs. It's so simple that even a Child can understand the connection.

Corporations aren't human beings, although law gives them many of the same attributes and protections. How do you expect Corporations to operate within the boundary of the law? Get sued? Buy and sell?

RUSD = Corporation. City of Racine = Corporation. WEAC = Corporation.

You probably didn't think of that - but then.... blue fisters are reactionaries - not thinkers! IF you thought it out, you wouldn't be a blue-fister.

Here is the product of WEAC indoctrination: Kvon Smith

Wisconsin united around Walker in 2010. Then again in 2012. And will once again in 2014.

The name of your group is a lie.

Mark Maley is a blue fister anti Walker recall stooge, Heather is too. This is part and parcel of who they are.

Here's some reality. Act 10 just got upheld. Dumb blue-fisters.

Pound sand you leftist monkeys. Be grateful that we chose to employ your fat asses in cushy goobermint jobs.

Wow MJS today reported Wi unemployment as of Dec at 6.6 %, lowest since 2008 and significantly lower than US average of 7.8 %. 4,500 private sector jobs added. Overall non farming jobs + 1,300.

What say yea now, Walker haters ?

Help me out here, what does this mean?
"Johnson, speaking candidly with The Capital Times, stated “We suck. We’re bad,” in response to a question about Wisconsin’s ranking of 47th in the nation on Information Technology and Innovation Foundation’s New Economy Index."

Do we live in Oklahoma? Doesn't the above mentioned index have Wisconsin ranked 31st?

Walker won ... Twice.
Wisconsin and God love Walker.
Democrats that can't get over it,
should RUN to another State
like their elected officials did, not too long ago.

Thanks to people like Lisa Subek, Governor Scott Walker made history in this country, being the only governor ever to be elected twice in his first term.
And his reforms are working!

Walker also took a 3 billion dollar budget deficit and turned it in to a surplus. What's next are people on welfare going to have to work for a living, will they be forced to stop buying beer and chips with their food stamps. People that work hard for their money should be able to keep more of it. Who can spend your money better than you, surely not the government.

Look for yourselves at the economic growth tabulation for 200 metro areas in the USA.

The 2012 Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities Index
http://bestcities.milkeninstitute.org/best-performing-cities-2012-large.html

For sure, all who insist that winters like once common in Tennessee are just a "cycle" and all who jeer at teachers and civil service workers because they bailed out the state budget (involuntarily) will not believe this metro growth ranking, either. It's based on data, on actual fact, not wishful dreaming.

If Democrats actually had to pay for their ideas out of their own pockets, they would be Republicans.

What amazes me in the little spare time I have to read what all the crackpots on here have to say in their expert opinion, is that an overwhelming amount of the posts on Patch are by Conservatives. Makes me wonder how much work they accomplish in a day with so much spare time to post and listen to themselves on how right and great they are!

WI and God love Walker?? Wow, that may be the scariest comment I have ever read. BTW, Jesus would be a Liberal by all terms...so I doubt Jesus would be a fan of a fascist. Nice try.

It is always interesting how Repubs say Democrats spend everyone else's money. But then, when Repubs spend...you get crickets. Walker Fiscal Issues:
1. Budget NOT balanced (Huh? Didn't he promise to balance the budget??)
2. Walker spending on new GOVERNMENT
Buildings??? (Huh? I thought you Repubs were against that before you were for it??)
3. Borrowing money with SIZABLE INTEREST for roads? (Wait...aren't Repubs against borrowing from Peter to pay Paul?)
4. Reforms...causing WI economic growth DOWN from 37 to 44. ( Union busting was such a stellar idea!)
5. Not even 1/4 of the way to WALKERS JOB PROMISE of 250 K jobs...where the HECK is the laser like focus other than on campaigning?
6. Depressed local economy...yeah, that union busting sure was a good idea.
7. Entitlement Shifts...Walker is the BIGGEST entitlement shifter in the history of the nation. Tax Amnesty for ALL donors with WI businesses!!!!

Repubs in this state are turning us back 50 years...I never thought the BAR could be so LOW.

JMB...ignorance will get you nowhere. First...they cannot buy beer with food stamps...that may be the least intelligent comment yet today. Yes, there is fraud and it must stop. BUT, just because Walker kicks people off of government programs does not mean money is coming back to you. Walker does an entitlement shift...moving money from the poor into special interest handouts. Look for yourself...Walker is PRO ENTITLEMENT...he is just selective as to who gets them.

Last, I do NOT want to see non-factual comments that Walker balanced the budget. HE DID NOT AND WALKER REPORTED TO THE FEDS THAT WI STILL HAS A DEFICIT. Read it and weep all you Walker sheep: YOU'VE BEEN DUPED!

Wisconsin has a total state debt of approximately $79,600,643,000 when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and the budget gap.[6]

How about some REAL TOOLS to move WI forward??? Like a Governor who actually WORKS and isn't traveling campaigning on TAXPAYER PAID TIME????

2014 is time for a REAL fiscal hero...see ya Scotty...your 15 minutes of fame are up.

Ed Fallone April 2nd - move WI forward

Debt becomes deficit when outstanding debt isn't taken into account at years end,

I think we can agree that when WI owes more than it takes in, it is negative. He may have made the books look balanced, but WI is still in the negative as reported to the Feds. Walker's whole platform is fiscal responsibility, which he lacks.

Steve...why? You won't answer whether we have a deficit. Why not?

Enlighten me Steve.

Walker’s first budget cut our GAAP deficit to $2 billion on June 30. But under his proposed new budget, the GAAP deficit will climb to $2.6 billion by mid-2015.

You answer that Steve...is a deficit bad?

In my opinion it is when Walker shifts entitlements, which is putting a band-aid on. He hasn't made reforms...just shuffled money around. Hardly noteworthy.

Steve...you never answer questions. Perhaps you don't know the facts or are insecure about your responses. If you can't respond, then don't expect others to. You are waging a losing war and by repeating questions back...you avoid taking ownership. That is a cowards way.

How much us the budget surplus and why did Walker not report it to the Feds?

That $154 million surplus that you were told about by the Secretary of the Department of Administration, Mike Huebsch?

The one which includes $78 million of kicking the can down the road by taking on new debt?

The one that includes $26 million of raided mortgage settlement funds?

How much does that leave of actual surplus? $50 million.

How much is the statutory minimum amount that the general fund needs to have in it at the end of each fiscal year? $65 million.

Oops.

Thank Bush for the huge deficit Steve.

The state took three actions in the past year to avoid making debt payments coming due…

In the past year, the administration has issued additional debt to avoid payments on
approximately $558.3 million in principal that would have otherwise been paid off.
Refinancing these debt payments to simply avoid making the payments has added
$714,398,748 additional principal and interest to the debt load in coming years. This new
debt is not expected to be paid off until 2030-31….

There is no budget surplus. Busted.

Baaaa...Steve the herd is calling you

Steve...quit wasting everyone's time...you do not know what you are talking about. In Walker's Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man gets a heart, the Lion gets courage and you get a brain.

CowDung...I know where you are going with this but it isn't that simple. Yes, businesses run with acceptable amounts of debt and a state can as well. However, Walker has not been transparent about debt...that is the issue. The vast majority of WI has NO idea how much debt in interest payments Walker has taken on. Nor do I think Wisconsinites would agree with the amount, especially since Walker will not agree to finish his term should he win 2014 - meaning someone else will have to clean up Walker's mess just like they are still doing in Milwaukee County.

That is dishonest. Walker us making bad fiscal decisions, which he criticized Doyle for. He also runs with the think if the next generation in regards to debt, yet he is accumulating big amounts of debt. Walker is a hypocrite...that is the problem.

Steve - Is Walker borrowing $1 Billion moving forward? Especially when he won't be here to clean up the mess? Brookfield is now just starting to get a clue to Walker's failure. A big deficit with a dose of fees or tax increases or both. And Walker can go on his I am bold tour, claiming he didn't raise taxes. Brookfield did. Wow...that is courageous.

Still a huge amount of debt and growing. If you like debt, don't call yourself a fiscal conservative.

The Bush wars were unfunded. Nice try Greg. Obama has created some economic recovery, unemployment is down. Good indicators. Far better than Bush. The best by far was Clinton. Would love to get Hillary. She will kick Walker's butt the way she schooled Dumb Ron Johnson. Can't wait!

The debt projections for FY2015 are significantly higher. Granted, FY2013 is lower than FY2012, but not by much.
FY2015 is when the Walker reforms will come crashing down.

Cow, why do you defend bad fiscal policy? I've read some of your comments on unions...have to say you are wrong. I just to think removing unions leads to rewarding performance but it doesn't when the money isn't there to begin with.

And Greg...I never responded to your rants about me...get over yourself. You are not special. Just another hick trying to turn WI into a hillbilly state. Good luck with that. I'll keep the great teachers and education we have. If you don't like it...move.

Cow, do you have a better report????

Jenna You need to take your ADHD meds. You are a complete wack job.

Nationally, 26,000,000 people getting food stamps in '08
Nationally, 48,000,000 people getting food stamps in '12 under Obama and his ilk.
So, how's that public union Progressivism working in the U.S.? Like sh*t, obviously.
So, how's that public union Progressivism working in Europe? Like sh*t, obviously.
