Point to ponder:
"State taxpayers are footing the bill for this junket, which isn’t doing a damn thing for Wisconsin’s economic prospects but merely making Walker the laughingstock of England."

But it's okay. Really, it is. Just take a look at his budget and its treatment of our schools, our environment, our economic prospects, civil society itself, and so on. He hates you AND your friends anyway, so it really doesn't matter. His financiers are so proud of him and their own personal tax cuts/giveaways to be gained that they are willing to invest in his run at the White House with its expectantly great ROI, and that's all that counts. Wisconsin laid to waste is the price to be paid, so it really doesn't matter to where the money and her other assets go. They will be gone, "privatized" and otherwise plundered for the profit of speculators now funding Scott Walker. That's all that matters.

Fools and suckers. And paperless voting machines. And Citizen's United monies by the pallet and truckload. It's what's for supper in Wisconsin everywhere they formally served up a vibrant and engaged democracy. It's shameful. This is Wisconsin, fer chrissakes, and we've been duped and rolled by the sleaziest sort of hucksters of a kind that prey on simpletons in the back lot of truckstops with a game called "Three-card Monte." (Google it.)

"Vigilance is the price of Liberty" is a line attributed to many, even from the time before Jefferson, who would inspire us toward a better government created of, by, and for the people. Given the lack of vigilance in those who support this Vandal and his mates, we instead deserve and have suffered Scott Walker. I just hope we someday soon get past him with a hope and a prayer left that we can somehow survive the carnage left in his wake.
