No Recall for Walker and Congratulations!

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is walking proud.

His party retained its majority in the state senate, withstanding a brutal recall which ended the timely careers of three Republicans who stood up to special-interest populism, curbing the powers of public sector unions to bargain collectively and fleece the taxpayers with union-friendly elected officials.

Despite the vociferous demands of public unions to stop the budget reforms, Walker has instituted much-much needed relief for the tax-payers of the Dairy State.

Still fuming over the loss in the legislation, left-wing radicals attempted to pack the Supreme Court with union-friendly justices who would strike down the core elements of Walker's budget reform. The conservative judicial incumbent flew into reelection.

Still frustrated but refusing to back down, liberal elements in Wisconsin breathed ominous threats of a recall of the Governor, which they could not initiate until one year into his term. That year is about to end, yet the animus to throw Walker out is subsiding. The budget reforms are working. School boards are enjoying a surplus for the first time in years, following a difficult recession and a lingering recovery. Taxpayers are saving hundreds of millions of dollars already; even left-leaning media organs are praising the financial upswing which has followed the reforms long denounced as deleterious and damaging to the state's public employees.

Not only has enthusiam for a recall dwindled in contrast to growing acceptance and support for Governor Walker and the GOP's fiscal conservatism, right-wing elements are emboldening their liberal rivals to pursue a recall anyway in order to divert much needed reelection force, finance, and attention from President Obama's failing campaign in a Midwestern state more likely to elect a Republican President for the first time in decades.

Wisconsin is working again! Public sector employees have kept their jobs; taxes remain low, businesses are hiring again. Free market reforms that scuttle the bullying power of public unions have effected renewed fiscal properity.

Congratulations, Governor Walker, Wisconsin Republicans, and Dairy State voters. You are paving the way for fiscal sanity and restraint in the United States of America!
