Wisconsin Governor, and future senior vice president at Koch Industries, Scott "Koch Head" Walker may have stepped in it with his new budget for the state. According to reports, the Rethug Presidential aspirant wants to make major cuts in programs for the elderly and the disabled, something that even hardcore right-wingers are nervous about backing. This is the same budget that proposed some $220 million in plutocrat welfare for a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks' owners, and $300 million in cuts to the University of Wisconsin system's budget.
Since he was first elected Governor in 2010, Koch Head has been on a scorched earth mission to bust public employee unions, give favors to the wealthiest Wisconsinites and major corporate allies, and to cause real damage to Wisconsin's environment. As a consequence of his and the state's preceding Rethug Governors' mismanagement, Wisconsin has seen the greatest decline in median household income of any state, nearly 15% since 2000. It should be a phenomenon that this nasty, retrograde failure hasn't been exposed and laughed off the political stage by now, but the other occupants of the 2016 clown car don't look much better and our broken media loves a good horse race.
