SCOTT WALKER HAS IT RIGHT

The Milwaukee County executive hits it out of the ballpark:

The federal government should not be bailing out failed operating budgets of state and local governments. What taxpayer would want to use one-time funds for operations to bail out governments that cannot balance their budgets? Yet that is exactly what Gov. Jim Doyle and four other governors recently called for from the federal government. .... The real way to stimulate the economy is not to put more money into the hands of the government but into the hands of the people.... Unlike infrastructure projects that take months - if not years - to have an impact, tax cuts can go into effect immediately. This will truly stimulate the economy.
