If Scott Walker Had A Spine...
He'd tell the Wisconsin GOP congressional delegation to drop the insane, completely manufactured Obamacare/shutdown/debt&default crisis, but he can't because he'd abandoned by his Tea Party core.
The only thing worse than a weak GOP leader like John Boehner is a cowardly GOP leader-in-name-only, like Walker and the rest of the spineless Governors.

To refresh everyone's memory, Scott Walker's platform was all about controlling government spending.
Given that platform, Scott Walker was elected Governor of the great state of Wisconsin twice in one term. That's a pretty solid affirmation of the will of the people.
Even Mary Burke thinks tax rebates resulting from controlled government spending and increased tax collection due to higher employment numbers is a great thing.
Odd, then, that Walker is 'controlling' spending by borrowing money to balance the budget.
not to mention costing the state millions by terminating the rail contracts.
And I am pretty sure you are putting words she didn't say into Mary Burke's mouth to further your delusion that she agrees with Scott Walker.
But then, you can't be bothered to use a nym like any respectful commenter, so why should I be surprised your arguments are so mendacious?
Borrowing money at the lowest interest rate in decades is smart business when you balance your budget and have the ability to repay the loan.
Even Mary Burke, as a professional business person, understands that simple concept.
I know you seem to miss the business concept about the trains, so once again, here it is; building that train infrastructure and owning a few low ridership per population density trains was the least of the cost. Maintaining and floating the system a permenant line item in the budget was a black hole that Scott Walker was smart enough to pass over. Wisconsin would need to cut social programs in Milwaukee to fund it. We don't want that, do we?
So you think Congress should have passed Obama's "American Jobs Act ", right?
Walker has done the rare combination if increasing spending, increasing borrowing, and lower job growth. That's a whole lotta fail right there.
You GOP operatives really suck at giving facts, don't you? No wonder you guys farm out communications to AM radio.
AND,
Mary Burke sure wants to take credit for Scott Walker's pro-business actions;

I guess she thinks Scott Walker is doing a good job. Taking credit for something you didn't do is plagerism, but also flattery.
what is this hilarious obsession with putting words in Mary Burke's mouth?
You have an active fantasy life. Oddly, not active enough to come up with a nym, which is just good online manners.

Oddly enough, that would have been a job-creating program. Although it would likely have included union jobs, so that is something Scott Walker would hate to do.
He'll never make his jobs goal. Mary Burke knows that.
Scott Walker has a good shot at making his jobs goal.
Mary Burke can/will certainly learn how private sector jobs are created in Wisconsin which might be an educational alternative to creating overseas jobs.
You see, unlike Governor Doyle Scott Walker believes in creating private sector jobs here, in Wisconsin.
"Oddly enough, that would have been a job-creating program."
Truth be told, that would have been a government run welfare system.

You really have no idea what a welfare program is, do you?
That would be paying skilled trades for work. Work that results in a benefit to the State and its citizens. Over here in the real world, that is called commerce.
But hey, I understand why you prefer to remain anonymous. What with weak sauce like that.
Scott Walker has a good shot at making his jobs goal.
LOL. What color is the sky on your planet, nonnie?
Skilled trades build things. Once something is built, their job is done. Temporary employment.
Then you need a revenue steam to keep the system a float.once the system is in operation. That's the government welfare system cuz it ain't payin it's own way.
Scott Walker can't print his own currency (though Badger Bucks would be a note worth a double take) like our dear leader in Washington.
Nice try though.
Skilled trades build things. Once something is built, their job is done. Temporary employment.
So every contractor in the country is only temporary, since the jobs they do are discrete and separate? That's a humorous way to define things. By that standard, any job is temporary employment.
And contractors can't do maintenance? that's not real work? When I do repeated TI work for a real estate client, that's welfare, because it's not temporary?
And the idea that contractors working for a government agency in providing real goods or services are receiving of welfare is so wrong it doesn't rise to the level of idiotic.
Once something is built, the skilled trades work is hardly done, and that's true whether the client is the State, the Country, or Johnny Bootstrap. Mitsubishi built the roof mechanism on Miller Park as well as receiving the maintenance contract. ALL of it is work, as I said above, commerce.
To use your own words, nice try, but again, your refusal to politely use a nym when commenting is completely understandable. No one would want to own this kind of tripe.
"By that standard, any job is temporary employment."
Nobody owes you a living. Nobody. A job is a job - temporary employment.
If you don't like working for someone else, quit and be self-employed.
I'm not certain you understand "contracting". It's a "contract" to do 1 job. When the job is done, you may get another "contract" to do more work. Maybe you'll be unemployed.
"And the idea that contractors working for a government agency in providing real goods or services are receiving of welfare is so wrong it doesn't rise to the level of idiotic."
The train cannot raise revenue to cover expenses for operation, it requires addition financial government support to pay the "contractors" to maintain the choo-choo or the wheels come off.
If you're in favor of cutting some current government programs to support this - tell Mary Burke.
In the meantime, don't start your own business. No charge for my time.

So it's just like...roads. which are freedom or something.

Kindly to be showing me where I said that.
A job is a job - temporary employment.
No. Temporary employment means something specific, and has a legal definition. even int he realm of at-will employment. What you are describing are full time jobs. Contractors have employees, those employees have full time jobs unless specifically exempted; and although the contractor may send them from specific task to to specific task, the employment is not temporary. You're really making yourself look foolish, trying to contort this argument in a way that doesn't make Walker look bad.
If you don't like working for someone else, quit and be self-employed.
I did. It is funny to watch you keep shooting and keep missing the mark so badly.
I'm not certain you understand "contracting". It's a "contract" to do 1 job.
Not necessarily. It is quite common to have open ended contracts. I have clients that I do occasional on-call work for, that isn't a single job. I have worked for firms that have had standing contracts for TI or ongoing projects. It seems like you're the one who is unaware of the many ways commerce operates.
Again, it's become painfully clear why you refuse to pick a nym. It's become kind of sad.
