Walker cuts $300 million from university budget then gives $200 million to the NBA

[bendog]

I didn't have the time to check this 200 million figure. It is true Walker cut the Univ of Wisc system 300 million over 2 years. But, "giving 200 mil" for an arena didn't make sense. Govts don't just give it up front.

It gets better, actually. Walker's plan prolly has zero chance of getting passed but that doesn't make it less amusing. He proposes the state issue 200 million in bonds to get the arena built. Fair so far, and that's how states build things: issue bonds, which are then paid for with tax dollars ... you know, investors get their 200 mil back over time, along with interest.

But Walker's clever. He said "no new taxes." So his proposal is a bit ... unique. The money to pay off the bonds has to come from "additional" taxes coming from the arena. The players will make more. So, anything in excess of their income taxes before the arena, will go to the bonds. The article is a little unclear, imo, but I suspect that additional taxes from the team itself, and I suppose any additional taxes collected on parking or concessions, would go to the arena.

Pols usually just use general revenue to pay off bonds, and say "oh well the team brings in more taxes overall."

Are they running for president?

Some of the best presidents this country has ever had didnt go to college. Yeah Scott Walker didn't finish college, but he became governor of a freaking state...and did a great job In his role as governor.

How many in the last 100 years?

Guy can't even finish College and you guys want him to be President? Almost as bad as when you wanted a pizza maker

Why was it ok 100 years ago but it's not ok now? As I stated - Scott Walker has had greater accomplishments than finishing college in his life. Herman Cain was no pizza maker, I suggest you do your research.

100 years ago, an 8th grade education was the norm

Today, we have a right to expect more from our leaders

The failed governor from Wisconsin could not even hack college

The fact that everyone has a college degree show today shows how watered down and meaningless the degree actually is. Btw Harry Truman was president 63 years ago and he didn't go to college. So get your facts straight.

A college degree is more important today than in any time in our history. The United States has to compete on a global marketplace against countries that place a higher value on education than we do

And yet, we have a major political party downplaying the need for education

Obama got his degree through affirmative action, which makes it worthless.

He won't even release his college transcripts so we don't even know if he ever finished college or not.

"In response to Obama's "free" community college idea, Republicans should say: We're not giving you anything, and, in fact, we're demanding answers from the entire "higher ed" establishment. You'll be surprised how liberating and fun it is to go on offense, Republicans.


The GOP needs to hold tobacco company-style hearings, hauling in the presidents of various universities and asking them to justify their multimillion-dollar salaries.


We want professors explaining, under penalty of perjury, exactly how much they make per hour for their rigorous schedules of two classes a week, summers off, and full-year "sabbaticals" every few terms.


Also, we'd like to know how driving the getaway car for a cop-killer constitutes a qualification to teach college.


College professors relentlessly hound the rest of society for its crimes -- racism, sexism, "white privilege" -- look what you're doing to the environment!Why are we paying them, again? There's no visible reason most of these people should be teaching at all. How about they explain their value to the taxpayers who subsidize their cushy lives?"

3 paragraphs from the unread article

"The cuts amount to 13 percent of the system's budget and are the largest in the system's history in a long line of budget cuts. They are responsible for making up close to half of the state's $650 million budget gap over the next two years. It's also tied to a two-year extension of a tuition freeze along with efforts to give the universities more authority over its budget....

For one, in the same budget proposal, Walker nearly cancels out his university cuts with a $220 million grant to build a new NBA stadium for the Milwaukee Bucks, another component receiving initial opposition in the state even though Walker pledges that the state will make its money back....

The reason why Scott Walker is considered a leading presidential candidate is because he's been willing to take some risks and make some bold reforms," Graul said. "People … like that you make decisions and stand by your decisions, even if you don't agree with it."

Well Walker better get that money for a new NBA?Milwaukee Bucks backs fast! Because,,,,,,,
State budget shortfall projected at $2.2 billion
MADISON — Gov. Scott Walker's administration said Thursday that Wisconsin faces a $2.2 billion budget shortfall by mid-2017, a problem that will have to be tackled by the Republican-controlled Legislature next year as Walker builds his resume for a potential presidential run and looks to deliver on a campaign promise to cut taxes.
State budget shortfall projected at 2.2 billion

Worst Governor ever

Imagine the damage he could do as President

Are you getting paid by the number of times you repeat the same talking point?

 

[hadit]

Obviously, the talking points are out. Walker is gaining ground, therefore it is time to destroy him by any means possible. Lie, smear, throw mud, claim he wears white after Labor Day, whatever you can dream up. Don't worry, someone might believe you and fall for your fear-mongering. This process will be repeated for every Republican that shows signs of gaining in popularity. It's the only thing democrats have left to run on. What, like Hillary has actual accomplishments to point to?

Walker is a failure as a Governor. He does not have a single accomplishment

Worst Governor ever

Perfect illustration of my point.

Walker has failed at everything he has tried. Sucker was nearly recalled and bombed out of college

Why should we risk having him as President?

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the new lefty twat narrative on Scott Walker. You would figure they would hold back to keep it "Fresh" for 2016, but alas, they have no bullet in the chamber, so they have to go off shooting blanks as early as they can.

I guess the political Viagra kicked in a little early this season.
