Wisconsin residents have been faced with lower property taxes while simultaneously being faced with a State Budget surplus after being hit with a State Budget deficit from the Democrat Governor. At the same time, school districts that didn’t lock in contracts prior to the major fix went from deficit spending to budget surplus, and went from likely employment reduction to actually hiring more teachers and staff. But the school districts (such as Milwaukee) who locked in new contracts before the collective bargaining law took effect have been forced to reduce their number of teachers as they continued their budget deficits.

National Democrat Party leaders in Chicago, NY, and DC aren’t available for comment. However, reports indicate business is brisk at local watering holes, taxi cab drivers and hookers are only taking calls for cash.

Which means Governor Walker has a mandate from the people of Wisconsin, both Republican and Democrat, to continue his policies and even to accelerate the process of reducing spending, eliminating regulation, cutting taxes, and curtailing the greed and arrogance of public sector labor unions.

This is a great win for Wisconsin, but it’s also a shining example for the nation.

FOX asked Sarah Palin if Walker’s win in Wisconsin had implications for Obama’s chances for reelection. Yes, she said, he has us on the wrong track, and the only plan he’s got doesn’t work. Obama’s goose is cooked.

Maybe not cooked, but possibly singed a touch.

Governor Walker and the Republican-controlled state legislature said that they were going to hold the line on taxes, cut spending and balance the state budget . . . and that’s exactly what they did. It seems that even “progressive” Wisconsin voters are somewhat impressed by that feat. If that message and that performance can win in Wisconsin, then it ought to be able to make huge inroads into even the bluest of states; if he campaigns well, Mitt Romney could very well upset President Obama in states where he isn’t given much of a chance, states like Maine and Connecticut and New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

All that the left can see is that, horrors! Governor Walker and the state legislature reduced the power of labor unions, but the fact is that, facing a large state budget deficit, the Republicans didn’t raise taxes, but cut spending, and balanced the budget. That just might have impressed a voter or three.
