Here & Now - Wisconsin PBS - $4 Billion - Mostly Dollars for the Wealthy in Property Tax Reductions Do you really not understand the GOP ... no matter what they say!
Can A Bird Fly With Only A Right Wing?!
Motivated by the current (2011) political climate in Wisconsin it seems reasonable to devote some time and effort to comment on issues and some of the hyperbole. So we in the public should do what we can to help focus "journalists" on delineating real facts versus spin. If you accept the spin you do not understand the policy implications.

Leaked Video: Dark Money Group Brags About Writing GOP Voter Suppression Bills Across the Country
“We did it quickly and we did it quietly,” said the executive director of Heritage Action.
In a private meeting last month with big-money donors, the head of a top conservative group boasted that her outfit had crafted the new voter suppression law in Georgia and was doing the same with similar bills for Republican state legislators across the country. “In some cases, we actually draft them for them,” she said, “or we have a sentinel on our behalf give them the model legislation so it has that grassroots, from-the-bottom-up type of vibe."

The Three Stooges Were Funny: Wisconsin goes One better - We have Four just plain SAD Republican GOP Trump Stooges!
Wisconsin Republicans in Congress will vote to oust Liz Cheney from GOP leadership after her rebukes of Trump
WASHINGTON - At least four of Wisconsin’s five Republican U.S. House members say they’ll vote to oust Liz Cheney from her party leadership position in Congress after Cheney's ongoing rebukes of former President Donald Trump. And that includes at least one lawmaker who publicly supported Cheney on a previous challenge to her leadership in February: Mike Gallagher. The other three are Glenn Grothman, Bryan Steil and Scott Fitzgerald. (Another Wisconsin Republican, Tom Tiffany, had not responded as of Tuesday morning to a reporters' query).

Are you a billionaire? You should be required to work 4 weeks (40 hour week) a year for $15 an hour. You get to pick the JOB!
It will solve the shortage of people in the service industry or many other shortages and perhaps bring about a little humility :)

What does SMALL-Government mean?
Remember when I-35 collapsed in Minnesota and so many were killed. The small-government advocates would take the approach, I guess, is that government should not build bridges and certainly not maintain them.
"Bridges" is ironic in the context of social need and social meaning!
A flood in Jackson, Mississippi - water supply system fails - No drinking water, no fire fighting, can't wash your hands or brush your teeth. Governor wants "national disaster" declared - why?
