Right-wing and compassion-averse GOP WI Gov. Scott Walker will in his next budget return some of the funding he stripped from low-income wage-earners in his 2011 budget against all known logic and even Republican workforce orthodoxy.
Yes, this is good news for the thousands of working Wisconsinites who had their taxes raised and thus their take-home pay cut so Walker could pay for a tax cut aimed at higher-earners and businesses, but it doesn't erase six years of fewer groceries on the table or shoes for the kids so Walker could reward his funders and exert his authority over people less equipped to fight back.
Praise him if you want, but it's like congratulating the bully down the street for agreeing to stop siphoning your gas or stealing your water.
