"certain groups will never develop any shame and save the embarrassment they display to the rest of the World"
Very well said.

So none of the catastrophic predictions of ACT 10 happened and now there is an increase in funding, albeit modest but an increase nonetheless and there is still whining? Good Lord certain groups will never develop any shame and save the embarrassment they display to the rest of the World. I remember growing up in a union household and wondering why the stereotypes people spoke of about them were made, my parents didn't display any of those traits, as an adult the more and more I see from these groups I understand where those stereotypes came from, like most stereotypes they are based in many truths.

moo you too are indeed without a clue = clueless. If you want to compare increases or decreases in either program feel free, that would be at least similar. The failed comparison I addressed was comparing the full budget amount from one program with ONLY the increase(s) to another...apples to oranges. But based on your posting history expecting you to grasp details, not spoon fed, are too much to expect.

Wish those rich Democrats would pay their fair share. Now you may ask, "What does this have to do with the article?" The answer is "Nothing" like several of the comments. Just wanted to put my two cents in.

Lar, he didn't fix anything - we still have a $3 billion structural deficit. Walker just doesn't have the stones to admit it by using GAAP. Kicking the can down the road by increasing our debt and then claiming to have a budget surplus.

unfortunately dtb, they do fall for it.. look at these posts.. They buy it hook, line and sinker. He has an R next to his name.... That's really all they need to know.

Carlito,

I've worked in the Charter School downtown.. Met the studetns and faculty and support volunteers...Have you?
.
You speak of the "results" and the "kids they send there" as if they were so much trash.
.
That school is working... So many of the students attending the downtown charter school are taking advantage of what might be a last chance for them... It may very well be their fault they are there... sometimes not... I don't really see how that makes much of a difference. Not every kid is going to fit into the regular system.
.
Gov Walker took a situation that did not have enough money... He worked with it by making cuts rather than allowing debt to continue to increase... As it can be afforded, some of that money goes back... This is common sense for a Conservative or a Liberal..
.
I wish folks would stop trying to ascribe evil motivations to everybody... Sometimes its just about running the budget in the black.

As I suspected badger...thanks for the laugh.

Cuts the public schools and attacks the teachers to save, then this Idiot gives to the Charter schools that the majority do not want and to those that think Charter schools will work Please look at the one in downtown Janesville. I have seen the results and what kids they send there,RAF = Rightwing are frauds!!!

As ALWAYS RAF, you are right. It sure is good to have someone on these posts that know EVERYTHING. Thanks for your wise, wise input. How could the Janesville Gazette ever get along without the likes of you.

badger put down the kool-aid and give reading a try. If the leftest poster would have stated what you DECIDED to write there would have been no argument. What you attempted to do is an often failed left fringe trick of an intentional red herring, or a deflection from the original point; in this case contention of dishonest comparison.

If you want to attempt to defend the previous wild claim please do so by addressing what was stated. By all means if you think comparing the full amount for one budget item with just the increases for another I would love to read you rationed and logical retort...the floor is yours.

Wealthy people with money like wislady want Walker to screw over hardworking taxpayers, small business and schools so they themselves don't have to pay. Walker is just a puppet to protect their wealth

Cutting 8% last year and returning 1% this year is not dishonesty by showing how generous you are. RAF, you've got to be kidding. You need a session with Dr. Phil.

walker is a real flip floper

LOL, the left fringe loons comparing the WHOLE transportation budget to increases in education funds and painfully try to draw a comparison. Hard to even to debate with folks who are so dishonest at every opportunity.

6.8 BILLION for transportation and 129 million for schools. Welcome to conservative Wisconsin. Cant gerrymander the state borders, 2014 can't get here soon enough.

Wislady tells us we cant blame Bush , yet is fixated on Jim Doyle. FUNNY.

Darlene knows very little about educating......anyone.

129 million. Still a net loss.

Cut 1.6 billion, return 1.3 million. Still a net loss. Does he really expect people to fall for this?

The way the AP writes it, it makes it appear that there have never been budget cuts to schools.

Doyle also raised taxes by 2 Billion, and used 2 Billion in stimulus funds to try to balance the budget.

Thank you, Walker, for NOT increasing taxes by 2 Billion dollars!

I am not dissing Doyle, just pointing out the facts.

wislady - Do two wrongs make a right? However, Three rights do make a left!

Someone is forgetting the cuts Doyle made, even with having millions of stimulus dollars to use.

And I suppose he is going to use the increase as a plus even though he made dramatic cuts in education two years ago. The cuts still outweigh the additional funding and the damage has been already been done to many school districts and the students they serve. Walker won't fool the voters should he run for re-election.
