Walker's corporate tax cuts put Wisconsin per pupil spending below national average.

[The Rabbi]

Odd they're tied when Illinois has 17 Gold Medals and Wisconsin has only 2.

Besides, the cuts are recent. Give it a little time. For Wisconsin, it's a race to the bottom.

We have had one Wisconsin resident post in this thread who said the state is on the way down. I would think that person knows what they are talking about, since they unlike all the RW loons that have invaded the thread, actually live there.

Location doesn't prevent you from being a partisan hack and/or an idiot.

And if someone from WI posted how great Walker was he'd be dismissed as a partisan hack. The Left is so transparent.

Many in WI would vote for Walker just to get this idiot and his Koch brothers "handlers" out of the state. What he has done to the UW at Madison will take that institution from its previous outstanding position to that of the Univ. of Alabama.
If Walker is indeed the nominee (unlikely) the corruption charges that are pending and that will emerge under closer scrutiny, will royally screw the GOP chances and finally rid this blithe from that great state.

The "dingbat" chimes in with utter nonsense

This is why voters sent him to the governor's mansion 3 times, with increasing majorities each time?

Walker budget puts Wisconsin per-pupil spending below national average

And this is for the First Time Ever!

Maybe Scotty wants to become President so that he can lower the ratio for the entire country, thereby Wisconsin will not look so bad.

GOOD GRIEF!

This is happening in many states with Republican governors and legislatures. They cut state spending on education to help balance their budgets because they cut taxes too much. Communities are then forced into raising property taxes that much more to compensate for the shortfall. If it is a well off community such as mine, then they pass the additional school levies to keep all of the school programs. The problem is that many communities cannot afford the additional tax burden and end up voting down the tax increases. We have a community just south of where I live that is in this exact predicament. They did finally pass a school levy on May 5th, but this came after defeating two previous levies. Had this levy failed, it would have been a catastrophe to the school district as they would have cut almost all transportation and all sports. Many parents were saying that if it were defeated, they would be forced to move to a different district, which would have moved to hurt home values and in the long run, property tax revenue. Unfortunately, this idea of cutting taxes doesn't always work the way Republicans tell us it does.

Gee, the schools need some work, but they rank # 2 in the nation on ACT scores.
Wisconsin s ACT test scores keep high U.S. ranking

Now can we compare them to Baltimore's failing schools, which have the third highest cost per student in the nation.

No one from Baltimore is running for President. Scotty is. I am sure he has made all Wisconsin's proud that he has now given them a second class school system.

"LET ME BECOME PRESIDENT SO I CAN DO THE SAME FOR AMERICA!"

Do you think before you post or do you regurgitate liberal taking points just for fun?

Oh the children. The liberal mantra.

Here they told us the lottery would go to schools yet liberals are constantly saying that the schools need more money. Maybe school administrators and perks shouldn't be robbing our schools of all the money.

Yeah those corruption charges, I am sure he will be indicted anyway for the last how many years?

You obviously missed the point. The tax cuts were not really tax cuts. By cutting taxes at the state level and paying for it by cutting school funding, the tax burden was just shifted to the local level. There was no tax savings, and all it did was put a much larger strain on the communities that can afford it the least. This works great if you believe that only wealthy communities should be able to offer a full slate of educational programs as well as athletic programs for their students. The reason states have been responsible for a certain percentage of school funding in the past is exactly for this reason, so that poorer communities could offer at least close to the same educational opportunity as those from wealthy communities. I know, I know. It's that damn socialistic concept again. Fuck the poor people. If they can't make it on their own, too fucking bad.

So communities couldnt afford the schools they themselves had voted for. This is a problem, why?

He also has sub-par economic growth and his employment numbers are lower than the national average.

but he can deal with ISIS because he knows how to handle an elementary school teacher.

Once again progressives confuse throwing money at something with caring, or more importantly, results. For all the money thrown at public education, the results don't seem to be what is promised. The only "fucking of the poor" is done by you well intentioned, but poor at results types.

Education does not depend on how much you spend. It depends on how well you educate.

And the public school system is failing miserably at educating

 

[Staidhup]

Here is a little economic data to chew on. Reduction in corporate tax rates attract companies, companies employ people, those people earn income, secondary vendors economic prosperity increases proportionally with the increase in employment, resulting in increased tax revenue from both corporate, employee, and secondary vendor suppliers. The net increase will exceed the current onerous corporate tax rate. Need some real examples, visit Texas.

Yeah, and if Amtrak would have another $1,000,000,000 in taxpayer money the engineer wouldn't have had to go 50mph over the speed limit.
