[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 813320, member: 4932"] Actually, now that his real budget is out on the table, he [B]IS[/B] going after Badgercare....note that about 10,000 Walmart employees are on Badgercare in Wisconsin. So, the Wisconsin taxpayer is subsidizing Walmart. More details revealed today: he is cutting at least $900 million from the state budget by reducing the money the state provides to all the education districts in the state. They can do anything they like to cover that, except raise taxes. That's verboten by the budget. So much for local control. Also, he is removing the income caps for those who are able to use vouchers, and allowing any private school to be a voucher school. So the taxpayers will also be subsidizing rich folks who send their kids to private schools. He is allowing unlimited charter schools, while removing any requirement that their students take any of the state-mandated achievment tests. And, teachers only need a bachelor's degree, not a teaching license. So, again, accountability goes out the window for the privatized schools, while those onerous No Child Left Behind requirements remain for the public schools. Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites. The real agenda just keeps on giving....thank goodness the Senate Democrats held out so that the details of this budget could be seen by all. The Milwaukee Public School system is screwed up, but this won't fix it, it will simply destroy it. Other school systems in the state will suffer also. There's more, but this is a true race to the bottom. [/QUOTE]
