" All this proves is that we as the state residents want our governments to do everything on no or extremely limited funds; trying to get that free lunch or something for nothing. We need to overhaul the financial mismanaged budgets at all levels. The tax-and-spend Democrats must work with the borrow-and-spend Republicans and eliminate the gap. Stop borrowing and balance the budget with equal tax increases and spending cuts. Once there, set a new agenda for proper budgets that meet the balance budget requirements without future borrowing or accounting tricks. Maybe instead of writing discrimination into the state's constitution, we should be prohibiting our state government from borrowing or using accounting tricks for balancing the budget. Then we can get the true costs of the services we are provided with, now and in the future. "

" We're on the eve of national economic self-destruction, so Wisconsin's fiscal mismanagement no longer matters.

We're going into an Argentine-style collapse: we've had all kinds of opportunities to fix this, but we chose the path to economic ruin for our country instead. Now it is time for all of us to suffer through decades of misery and austerity.

Welcome to Argentina! "

" For some reason, my comment got posted on a completely different blog. I will try again. We are talking about misuse of taxpayer money, and you have addressed this before. Have you heard back from FFRF regarding the taxpayer funded muslim charter school that has forced prayer on Fridays? "

" I think it means our budget deficit is WAY less per capita than California's, Minneosta's and many others. "

" Just remember the recently completed budget repair bill uses accounting methods that would land a private company in court. Rmember Enron, they also delayed payments and booked income that violated the GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Princilies)requirements. Our legislators should be ashamed of a bill that puts over $1 billion into the next budget cycle. We have a constitutional requirement to have a balanced budget, in my mind the legislature has not complied with this requirement. Can they be held accountable, only by the voters. "

But, it makes no difference if your not paying your fair share and you are receiving much more than average seniors and working families. "

" Good find Reid! This is typical of politicians spending more money than is actually in the public treasury. "

Try this:

Start at one(1) and count up the fingers on your left hand, how many are there? Ans.: 5

Now start start an ten(10) and count down the fingers on your right hand, what number do you get? Ans.: 6

Add them up, and you get 11 fingers.

Same numbers trick you tried... "
