Cruisin' with the Walker's, Dairy Farmers losing under Trump's Tariffs, Low GOP State Revenues, Student Debt, and European Socialism.

If anything, Scott Walker gave bloggers here in Wisconsin a head start on what the real Republican agenda was all about; in your face raw naked power. Surprisingly, we found out Republicans never wanted to solve our growing local and national problems, they simply wanted to roll out their alternative vision of reality, where unproven theories solve everything. 

The “Scott Walker” name is now a brand that he’s marketing like Trump, pushing the same cliche’d horrors and fallacies their cult like voters lazily accept as gospel. Think Walker’s cruise is another free-be for him and his family?

Digging through the avalanche of stories, here are a few that need so much more attention…

1. Dairy Farmers: I’ve been harping on this for years, wondering why rural voters supported Republicans when they got nothing back and no support under the excuse of “small government.” Walker, who had no clue about dairy farming, even advanced laws that exacerbated the over supply of milk now, allowing larger corporate farms (CAFO’s) that disadvantaged small dairy, record bankruptcies, suicides, and no solutions in of all places, “America’s Dairyland.” This borders on criminal.

Here’s another story…:

Or the idea that farmers care more about securing corporate intellectual property than their own family businesses and generational farms…seriously? These red state governors in Nebraska, and Missouri are gas-lighting their constituents and should pay the penalty: 



2. Walker/GOP Economic Hype: Sure, if you think making one of the countries largest cuts to education is a good idea, trashing environmental regulation including banning references to climate change, and letting our transportation infrastructure go to hell, well then Republicans saved some money. Of course voters taxed themselves just to keep schools open, but go ahead, ignore that tax increase:

3. Student Debt Relief, Finally? Let’s hope the following story isn’t being too optimistic:

4. Justice and Liberty: Only in the alternative world of conservative politics can this be a dangerous piece of legislation:

AP- Democrats in the House approved sweeping anti-discrimination legislation, the Equality Act, Friday that would extend civil rights protections to LGBT people by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The protections would extend to employment, housing, loan applications, education, public accommodations and other areas. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said it will bring the nation “closer to equal liberty and justice for all.”

Sexual orientation and gender identity “deserve full civil rights protections – in the workplace and in every place, education, housing, credit, jury service, public accommodations,” Pelosi said.
Sexual orientation and gender identity “deserve full civil rights protections – in the workplace and in every place, education, housing, credit, jury service, public accommodations,” Pelosi said.

What denies religious freedom or “requires acceptance”? Individuals can always think what they want, but can’t infringe on others, right? Of course, it’s the end of the world according to the upside down thinking of one Republicans:
