Yesterday, the Senate passed a budget that was approved by a Conference Committee on a 17 to 15 vote with your senator, Dave Hansen voting in favor. A Conference Committee is a panel of legislators formed to iron out differences between the Senate and Assembly when they pass different budgets. The budget that came out of that committee raises taxes over $2 billion, property taxes an additional $1.5 billion, and increases government spending by nearly 7 percent. As well, there are non-fiscal policy provisions that changed in this budget compared to the Senate and Assembly versions, including those dealing with automobile insurance. This change is very important for Northeast Wisconsin drivers who, if it is enacted into law, will be paying higher insurance rates to subsidize high risk drivers in areas like Milwaukee.

Just this past week, eight Democrats in Congress wrote President Obama urging him to halt any further construction of the fence, one of the many border- and immigration-related political debates that have carried over from the Bush administration. What?!! Halt the fence? Are they nuts? Look at how the U.S. Congress represents Mexicans but not Americans! When are we going to stand up to the usurpation of these Congressional despots? How long are we going to take this contempt for us from both houses of the U.S. Congress? When are we all going to rise up and force them to OBEY the LAWS of The Constitution? They are supposed to be OUR public servants, right? Not Mexicans’ public servants! Why most of Congress would do anything to steal money from us and give it to the ILLEGALS for health care and welfare,,, Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are doing that already. Well then how long are you going to let Congress give our taxes and raise taxes to give to people who are not American citizens, who are ILLEGALLY in our country?

However, in February, Obama passed his $787 billion stimulus aimed at jolting the declining U.S. economy. Before a joint session of Congress, Obama declared: “Now, I’m proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.”
Some chuckled with amusement as the crowd withheld applause.
“There was just a roar of laughter – because there were earmarks,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told CNN.

Majority leader says the Senate in the next few weeks will move to pass an energy bill focusing on several of President Barack Obama’s priorities, but then ” hopefully late this summer do the global warming part of it.”

Governor Doyle delivered his annual State of the State address this Wednesday. He discussed our state’s economic outlook, $5.75 billion deficit, and briefly touched on his priorities for this budget. This address comes at a time when jobs are being lost, businesses are closing, and consumer confidence is at an all time low.
Wisconsin’s deficit is fourth largest in the nation and number one per capita. How is it that we are in the same category as such states as California and New York? Since Governor Doyle has taken office, government spending has increased by 25 percent. Government credit card borrowing has increased by 60 percent. Doyle has grown the state employee workforce by 4,900 in the last year alone after promising to cut state employees by 10,000 by 2010. This has occurred while private sector jobs have dropped by 66,000.

In an uncharacteristic—yet highly welcomed—move, Mr. Schwarzenegger has decided to terminate the long-standing environmental regulations that currently serve as roadblock to vital state highway projects and development as a whole. The importance of such a move is heightened by the fact that California is mired in a colossal economic abyss and the removal of draconian eco-restrictions would significantly ease the state’s fiscal burdens—to the tune of some $1.2 billion.
