When Governor Walker took office, the Wisconsin state economy and
Illinois state economy were pretty similar. Both had major deficits,
both were having issues with unions, both were headed in the wrong
direction very fast.
This led Wisconsinites to elect Governor Walker. During his campaign
he promised fiscal responsibility form the state, and that’s exactly
what we got. Walker pushed through ACT 10 almost immediately. Basically
when school boards were budgeting every year there was a major
percentage of the budget that they had no control over, most changes to a
budget had to be voted by the Public Union, of course they never cared
about deficit as long as they got their benefits and perks. ACT 10 gave
the school boards (and essentially taxpayers) the ability to amend the
entire budget not just a small percentage of it.
One of the major amendments was shopping around for health plans,
instead of automatically reinstating the rate hiked union insurance
plan. Teachers were also required to pay 12% towards their OWN health
plan (terrible right?). This one change took a $3+billion dollar deficit
to a $256 Million surplus in only half a year! The act saved teacher
jobs, precious art and music programs, and other things slated to be cut
to try and harness the budget shortfalls. The very things unions would
be happy to cut to protect their own interests.
Illinois decided to go the liberal path, they caved to the unions.
Illinois leadership decided to raise taxes by 67% on small business
owners to try and cover their budget gap. So where is Illinois today?

Canada you Imagine?
Can you imagine a world where the beacon on the hill of freedom is no
longer the United States of America? I can, and it is that vision that
has the political fire in me burning so brightly. I have said this in
other posts, but being a real conservative takes a lot of patients, and a
level of hardness. You cannot be weak and a conservative in our current
world.
Being a conservative kind of sucks actually, we would want nothing more than the utopia that liberals speak of. A world where people have enough of what they need and are happy. The major difference between a Conservative like me and a liberal is that we know the best way to get there, and it is not the way we are currently going.
We know that when people succeed, it breeds more success organically. The liberal belief is that the only way to succeed is to lie, cheat, and steal. So it is no wonder that they lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want. But I digress, CANADA!!!
Canada, if anyone has been watching, is smart (or at least they are getting smarter). They have been watching the world, and obviously they have been taking notes. They have been watching socialism fail all over the place, they have been watching our impending doom, and then they have even taken pages from our founding fathers. I am referring to this video below.
It features Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton. He spoke to the Canadian government regarding the 2012 budget. As the explanation on the video states, he stood up to defend Economic Freedom for all Canadians.

Why Romney Should Win The Election
I truly believe Mitt Romney will be the next president of these
United States, I say probably because Liberals tend to take losses
pretty hard. They even anticipate losing by complaining, or over polling
democrats.
I have started to notice a heavy flow of excuse making by my Liberal friends on the internet already. There are claiming that Republicans will “steal” the election somehow. Or have even hinted at fraud! If you do not see the irony and hypocrisy in the last statement, then you are on your own.
With Michal Moore’s wonderfully articulate video, the blatant lies from the left about where Romney stands, and what he will do as President. Plus polling machines obviously hacked to turn Romney votes into Obama votes. They will not take this loss lightly and ironically are the ones actually trying to steal it. It is the age old saying, if your partner is constantly accusing you of cheating, it is because there probably doing it already. Continue at DS&P Mag
