I trust that you are all aware that Koch whore, Scott Walker (R-Fitzwalkerstan) is joining the Clown Car.  Since he has already established a Republican Reich, having transformed fair Wisconsin into evil Fitzwalkerstan, there is a danger that he will victimize America in the same ways.  Here\u2019s one:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Walker-FF\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humiliating and harming the vulnerable<\/strong>: The meaning of a Walker presidency was vividly made clear by his budget and recent laws he has signed. Looking at elements section by section reveals his harsh values and the agenda he would seek to impose in the nation if elected president.<\/p>\n

\u2022  Attacking environmental protection. Numerous Dept. of Natural Resources scientists will be laid off, thereby silencing highly-credible analysis and criticism of his policies on air and water safety.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rolling back abortion rights. A key new item added to Walker\u2019s right-wing checklist is a draconian 20-week limit on abortions without regard for rape, incest, or health of the mother. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Expointing the poor. The budget expanded the range of services permitted for the exploitative payday loan industry, notorious for the onerous high-interest rates extracted from the poor, especially blacks and Latinos.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Humiliating public assistence recipients. He has required drug testing for food stamps and unemeployment insurance recipients.  The federal government has moved to block such testings. Experiments in South Carolina and Florida showed a miniscule rate of drug use by aid recipients. Yet Walker persists in promoting this humiliating and insulting proposal.<\/p>\n

Viewed as whole, the Walker-Republican budget combines a set of highly-regressive economic shifts benefitting corporations and the wealthy at the expense of workers with a host of anti-democratic measures ranging from weakening faculty involvement in university decision-making to re-shaping non-partisan state agencies to give them a profoundly Republican tilt\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
