Walker's "Modest" UW Tuition Increase? I'm Hearing 16%

As we are learning from Gov. Pinocchio, when he says "modest," you have to hear "extreme."

In fact, when he says virtually anything, think the opposite.

His budgeting plan "reform" for public employees was "modest" - - really, really modest" - -  before, as Walker more truthfully bragged in private (oops) to the fake David Koch, "we dropped the bomb."

His budget said the expected UW tuition increase is "modest" (page 13) - - in a document he lauds for no tax or free increases (page 5, see the spin?) - - but the figure of 16% is floating around.

Let's say it's half that. Does 8% seem "modest," when inflation is running at what, 1-2%?

The recall cannot come soon enough.
