" Yes time to CUT the BUDGET.PERIOD

Wisconsin is wasting to much money on garbage programs.

Why does Wisconsin have a prescription drug plan when there is a Federal one?

I know a single mother that lives down the street and every time her one child stubs his toe they go into the EMERGENCY ROOM, WHICH IS %100 covered under the Badger plan. In the last year he has been in the emergency room 6 times according to her and not once has she had to pay a penny. She has several kids and doesn't work just collects child support and has Badgercare for the kids and She makes more than good use out of it. How about she get a REAL JOB AND WORK FOR A LIVING LIKE THE REST OF US

Also us people that have children and we pay our own health insurance we do not take our kids in for bumps or bruises especially when we know the child doesn't need anything more then just home care. But she says "IT'S FREE".

Another thing is SUBSIDIZING ETHANOL, This is a DISASTER and none of DOYLES friends should be receive any of this money nor should anyone else. ETHANOL and BIO-FUELS are needed for FOOD, DUH

year after year of MORE SPENDING FOR SCHOOLS and MORE FOR UNIVERSITIES it's time to CUT the cost of CLOSE THEM ALL make them accountable for there spending

If the public schools can't control there spending any better than they do now then maybe it's time to do away with the sport's, and other programs, or have them during school hours instead of at night to run all the lights for electricity and maybe we can ask the parents to pay for the fuel to travel to and from other towns for the kids playing sports. Why does anyone not having kids have to pay for School sports? this is really unbelievable that only the few can profit from the many.

Why not close the UW campus's they obviously can't control there spending. CLOSE THEM ALL until they can finance themselves. Funny thing is Doyle gave then MILLIONS a couple of years ago and they still raise tuition

Close the Parks I don't visit them anyway, does absolutely nothing for me.

you see when I put my needs ahead of all else I can justify Closing all this to save money. Just as all them agencies justify the need to keep running as usual and wasteful spending keeps going on

Until we set strict parameters on how to pay for any of these programs we should close down everything and make the Governments RESPONSIBLE for there wasteful spending. Also those in the State legislature should start paying for there own travel and so should Doyle and meals and other bills then maybe they will realize how out of touch they all truly are


ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE STATE WOULD BE NICE FOR A CHANGE "

" Another "LIBERAL SPIN" on the tax issue....Now add in the cost of "FEES" for Indiana compared to Wisconsin...


Wisconsin has the way of deflecting the true TAXES with "FEES" this way it distorts the record and makes Wisconsin look like a Businesses friendlier state which is not the truth.

Indiana is growing at a much faster rate then Wisconsin is

To even think for a second that it's cheaper in Wisconsin to have a business is really a far fetched line of thought and the fact that you don't know what the heck your talking about

Wisconsin has lost tons of businesses to southern states and the main reason is TAXES and FEES. "

" This is a pathetic joke for this paper to even print this GARBAGE. IT'S TOTALLY DOYLE'S FAULT...The fact that DOYLE has the "FRANKENSTEIN" veto power and your trying to deflect the poor job of managing the states funds.Your a laugh a minute to drink from the LIBERAL KOOL-AID trough of the democrats and then try to deflect this issue this way....

ARE YOU SERIOUS. OR JUST DELUSIONAL?

First off Doyle raised all the fees of just about everything and HE STATED IT WAS TO ELIMINATE THE DEFICIT, this we now know turned out to be a bare faced lie.

Why are we not re-calling Doyle, to raise all these "FEES" which are taxes and not to pay off the debt was totally WRONG, but look at where alll them funds went, they went to payoff the ones that got him re-elected. The UW system and the Teachers Union....DISGUSTING

It is time for Doyle to go, When people run for any public office they should be held accountable for there promisess and should be thrown out of office when they get caught lying like DOYLE has continually.

As far as this paper trying to blame the FEDs for the STATES lack of responsibility, all I can say is this is typical from such a Socialist. Quit blaming others for your leaders mistakes and outright lies.

DOYLE is without question the worst Governor we have ever had, he's like a local
JIMMY CARTER, and has no idea how to run a
STATE or anything for that matter....But knows how to maneuver money back to those that got him elected


The thought that we are supposed to be taxed higher just because the whacko liberals want to spend money is WHACKO.

Time to make every agency prove it's worthiness.Public Schools systems are nothing more then huge MONEY PITS and Democrat voters via the corrupt teachers union, WHY do we have all this money going to the
UW system and yet The cost to the students go up big time all the time? Some accountability and open books to the public laws are needed. Every penny that DOYLE has misdirected to his pals at the UW system should be made public, along with who is connected to whom.

It's time for all Governments to quit spending our money

Not Doyle's Fault? you have got to be kidding "

" Freedom to CHOOSE if I want healthcare and where I get it is what I suggest. The government telling me that I have to is AGAINST everything the constitution stands for. Also, last I checked, food and shelter are higher on the hierarchy of needs than healthcare. Does that mean the government should provide that to everyone too? I think that is called communism, and that didn't seem to work out too well. Pretty soon, my whole paycheck is going to make sure that everyone is getting "free" stuff; even the ones who aren't paying into the system. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. There are plenty of non-profit hospitals and charities that take on people who are without healthcare. I am all for the government granting nonprofit status to these providers. That is where the help should come from; the private sector. "

" Freedom to go without adequate healthcare is what you suggest? "

" You got me there, but owning a house in Tomah, I pay twice as much in property taxes as I do in the richest county in Indiana. What is the solution to the problem? Making the government bigger and enacting MORE social programs? Didn't Wisconsin just socialize healthcare? From what I have read, this program costs 3 billion dollars MORE than the state currently collects in all income, sales, AND corporate income taxes. Common sense tells me not to spend more than you take in, but then again, common sense died a long time ago. Hopefully the rest of the country will see how much of a mess socialized healthcare has become for states that have tried to enact it before it is shoved down all of our throats. Is government ever the answer? The more bureaucracy, the less freedom. I don't want to have to pay the government to tell me to go to the doctor, and then tell me which doctor to go to. "

" Regarding the previous comment about the private sector being the solution for the budget deficit. You need to do your homework before blaming "liberal officials" for the budget deficit. In fact, Wisconsin has a lower corporate rate (7.9%) than does Indiana (8.5%).

" I was once a resident of Wisconsin, but have since moved to Indiana. Our budget here was out of whack until Mitch Daniels became our governor. We now have a billion dollar surplus and are the #2 state in the country where companies are setting up shop. Perhaps it is the liberal officials that keep getting elected that want to start so many government programs that WI's kids will be paying for through the teeth for the rest of their lives. The answer is the private sector. Stop raising the taxes on industry and more jobs will come. With more jobs comes more revenue; for both the individual and the state. "
