I'd love to see the math that says cutting compensation 10%+ will create jobs. Really. I'd love to see how slashing education and driving talent out of the state will create jobs. Scott, are you a broken record? Your inability to articulate even the slighest concept of how this helps "the private sector create 250,000 new jobs" is astounding. Really, astounding.
Reducing takehome pay by 10% is not "modest" for all of our teachers. You will make the next generation of great teachers have to choose between teaching and having enough money to live. Per your words, I guess they'll have to go 'into the private sector [and make] real money', since they are not "one of you".
Koch Call transcript. Governor's own words were:
"Well, actually, in his case I wouldn’t call him and I’ll tell you why: He’s pretty reasonable but he’s not one of us, um, so I would let him be. I think he is in a position where he can maybe motivate that caucus, but he’s not a, he’s not an ally, he’s just a, he’s just a guy. He was in the Senate years ago. He was actually the Senate (word missing) here back in the ’80s and Tommy Thompson hired him to be the head of Health and Human Services. He went into the private sector, made real money and, uh, became a little more more open-minded."

Shame on your for your regressive taxes on public educators! Teachers who are responsible for educating the next generation of Americans have not fiscally bankrupted Wisconsin or the US. DID EVERYONE FORGET THE TRILLION DOLLAR BAILOUTS AND THE TRILLION DOLLAR WARS?!?!?!?!?
But I guess you've "dropped the bomb" on the people now, didn't you? Aren't you so proud of yourself?

Governor's own words were:
"Came home from the Super Bowl where the Packers won, and that Monday night I had all of my cabinet over to the residence for dinner. Talked about what we were gonna do, how we were gonna do it. We’d already kinda built plans up, but it was kind of the last hurrah before we dropped the bomb. And I stood up and I pulled out a picture of Ronald Reagan, and I said, you know, this may seem a little melodramatic, but 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan, whose 100th birthday we just celebrated the day before, had one of the most defining moments of his political career, not just his presidency, when he fired the air-traffic controllers."

How could we have allowed our democracy to be whored out to the highest bidder? How can the people of the United States not be outraged that CEOs can all but buy votes with their dollars with unlimited PAC contributions, with the Citizens United vs F.E.C 2010 Supreme Court ruling? Do the below words sound like someone who is interested in balancing a budget to you?

Governor's own words were:
Murphy: [Laughs] Well, I tell you what, Scott: once you crush these bastards I’ll fly you out to Cali and really show you a good time.
Walker: All right, that would be outstanding. Thanks, thanks for all the support and helping us move the cause forward, and we appreciate it. We’re, uh, we’re doing the just and right thing for the right reasons, and it’s all about getting our freedoms back.

Closer to home, 50 years of labor peace in Wisconsin shred thanks to one man and 18 Senate Republicans on tow. And speaking of peace, how about thinking of endangering public safety and backing down out of fear of not getting your ideological wishes?

Governor's own words were:
Murphy: Right, right. Well, we’ll back you any way we can. But, uh, what we were thinking about the crowds was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.
Walker: You know, the, well, the only problem with that — because we thought about that. The problem — the, my only gut reaction to that is right now the lawmakers I’ve talked to have just completely had it with them, the public is not really fond of this. The teachers union did some polling of focus groups, I think, and found out that the public turned on ’em the minute they closed school down for a couple days. The guys we’ve got left are largely from out of state, and I keep dismissing it in all my press conferences saying, ‘Eh, they’re mostly from out of state.’ My only fear would be is if there was a ruckus caused is that that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has gotta settle to avoid all these problems.

Republicans, I think you will find out that trying to oppress voices of the masses will be a very bad move. You should have backed away when your "King" made an ass of himself and democracy during the Koch call.
A clear public majority strong opposed stripping collective bargaining.
The Wisconsin Assembly convenes at 11am. While this bill -will- pass tomorrow, may the people of Wisconsin flood the streets of Madison tomorrow to have their voices heard.
I sometimes question whether Government will ever function again as intended by our founders. There is so much vitrol in legislative bodies across America that I see no way to meet common ground. I am so tired of all of the name calling, the lies, the posturing.
Thank you, Dale Schultz, for not being an extremist, and for going down in history as voting NO.
How could one defend this man after hearing the Koch call?
Goodnight Wisconsin.
