After stripping public workers of their rights to organize, and having his right-wing goons on the Wis Supreme Court back him up, the religiously insane Gov of Cheesehead-land has now set his beady eyes on slashing care for the poor in his state. As part of the budget recently sledgehammered through the legislature, his administration can now not only bypass legislative oversight for any changes he wants to make, but he won't even have to have public hearings about them either. This means that any decision to cut benefits and services that would have previously required public hearings, can now simply be agreed upon and implemented with absolutely no input from the public. You know, the people that actually rely on those benefits and services on a daily basis. So much for open and transparent government.
Of course the $466 million he wants to cut out of the budget for BadgerCare can't be generated elsewhere by say, raising taxes on the wealthy, or, heaven-forbid, making corporations actually pay their tax bills, hell no, especially when you consider his Koch-sponsored campaign logo was "Wisconsin, Open For Business (does not apply to workers)".
The fact that this boss-eyed little git claims to be a 'Christian' is merely the icing on the cake of hypocrisy currently being served to the citizens of Wisconsin. One has to wonder at exactly what point will the gibbering idiots that voted for this right-wing corporate lackey finally wake up and join the efforts to throw his ass out? For the folks that live there, especially the ones that aren't independently wealthy, I hope that is sooner, rather than later.
