Great day for Wisconsin and all hard working Wisconsinites who live within their budget and expect the Govt. to do the same.

Seems there is one voice strangely missing out here. For the last eighteen months any time Governor Scott Walker was mentioned she had nothing but vile things to say about him. Apparently she is now busy eating crow.

Congrats Wisconsin on doing the right thing. This is an obvious barometer on unions and obama.

And never mind that Walker testified before a congressional hearing that eliminating/limiting collective bargain would have NO affect on the WI state budget.

If at first you don’t succeed try, try again.
I like how the dems message kept morphing through the recent ridiculous recall. First it was their outrage at collective bargaining changes, then it was the Koch brothers, then not enough new jobs (hello, have you looked at the Obamanation we are part of?), then it was a war on women, then Walker wanted dirty drinking water and had fired all the reading specialists….good grief! We get it…..you don’t like him. You didn’t vote for him the first time, but even more people voted for him at the recall than when he was first elected.
Did it every occur to anyone that perhaps the whole recall mess was suppressing job growth in this state? It is pretty well established that businesses don’t like uncertainty.
Go ahead and wait for that indictment Alice, if it will make you feel better. In the meantime, I am excited to watch the new job growth in the state now that this is all over. Obama is next!!
