Geoff- Oh, I'm dead aware of the looming deficit in the 2013-2015 budget. This post was just running long, because Medicaid spending has to be laid out when you explain it. <br /><br /> And by the way, in addition to Walker selling off the power plants to pay for roads, the Journal-Sentinel reported that transit will be moved to the general fund, which is another $212 million that has to be cut somewhere else. The math and the policy Walker's trying to pull over is an epic FAIL.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-33559353068815826922013-02-15T15:09:56.912-06:002013-02-15T15:09:56.912-06:00It's even worse that *you* thought, Jake.
