I'm sure it is just coincidence that by mid 2017 the revenue lost because of the Manufacturers and Ag Tax Credit slipped into the state budget at the last minute will total nearly $800 million. If it is not coincidence then it appears Walker has been handing out tax cuts to corporate and special interest donors with money he doesn't have. His solution is simple but ethically questioned. At the end of each fiscal year to make sure he has enough money for the tax cuts and the budget to be in the black he skips the debt payment that is due; accepts the penalty and added interest cost and passes it on to future taxpayers. This has to be the slickest "smoke and mirrors" budget maneuver in Wisconsin government history. Walker uses taxpayer dollars to fund tax breaks for corporate and special interest donors who in turn send this taxpayer money to Walker and Republican campaign accounts. The cost of all of this is forwarded to future taxpayers in the form of increased debt to be dealt with long after Walker has left office. Walker may not be a wizard when it comes to his personal finances but he knows how to manipulate taxpayer dollars for political purposes. prep-hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722631142024422312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-64849078518959162622016-05-11T07:25:21.709-05:002016-05-11T07:25:21.709-05:00Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, being Scott Walker'...Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, being Scott Walker's BFF propaganda tool, is complicit with this scam. And remember, they lead the mighty wurlitzer. First, the lies appear in MJS as nooooze and then the rest of the state's pro-Walker disinformation machine casts the lies across Badger Land, whitewashing them as being from MJS and newsworthy when, in fact, they came directly from Scott Walker's team of disinformation shills.<br /><br />So Walker writes a false op-ed for MJS this week that Wisconsin's economy is goin' gangbuster.<br /><br />Then MJS breaks this story, grossly underestimating the financial shell game and the true interest costs -- understanting them by more than half!<br /><br />Later, this is corrected, but it doesn't matter -- most of their sheeeple saw the lies in Walker's op-ed and the lies that minimized his financial shenanigans and will not see the corrections/updates.<br /><br />Walker is Governor of Wisconsin for as long as he likes because he is a media creation and we have a dysfunctional election system that does now allow the election numbers reported by the pro-Walker media to be verified.<br /><br />This is as corrupt and criminal as it gets, folks.We the People, Dane Countyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728197356567265252noreply@blogger.com
