I've always thought highly of Gary Johnson. He seems like a very practical man, almost logical.
What ? You think that I am going to waste time looking up data to post for you, when IMMHO you should already be aware of it as a poster here ?
Here's what you can do, if you want to know. Google "Government employee unions pensions benefits" and then add a state name. I suggest beginning with Califonia, and Illinois.
As for you expecting to be given a handout, I will refer to the Cinese proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

You don't have to look up jack. It's obvious that you haven't and don't. My source link in an earlier post provided the data concerning campaign donations, expenditures, advertising, etc., etc. You do have to read it, however.
As to backing up your earlier statement. You didn't, and as I said you can't. It's obvious that you don't have the appropriate data because you can't provide it. That's fine. Be like Conservative and admit that you don't really want to know if what you believe is factual. Just make the assumptions and say, "Hey, I don't expect you to accept what I believe because I didn't actually come to a logical conclusion. If I can't provide sources, I don't actually have and, and you know what, I'm not going to review any sources anyway. I'll believe what people tell me to believe as long as it sounds like what I want to believe."

The modern version of that proverb is teach a lib to fish and he'll just ask for more fish.

And this happens far too much from the same folk.

The thing that gets me about conservatives is that they have this fantasy view of life where everything works according to these talk radio platitudes, and they really really could not care less if their platitudes bear the slightest relation to reality.
Oh, Good Lord,, you think funding was more important than people voting their own pocket books? Results matter and Walker has generated some good results which is what matters. Wherever Walker got his money is irrelevant because people are always going to vote their pocket books.
Good results being? He said he balanced the budget, but he did not. He is paying down the interest on the deficit and by using some accounting tricks makes it look as though he has paid off the state deficit. He has been dead-last in the nation as far as job creation. He said he reduced taxes, however, by reducing the earned-income credit, and removing the homestead credit he has effectively raised the taxes on the poorest in the state. He has had nearly 2 years now to turn this state around, when is it going to happen?

Actually, Wisconsin is ranked 24th in job creation (well above dead last) and has a lower than average unemployment rate.
It is also nice to hear that a progressive believes that after 2 years you should have full control of the economy you are in charge of. Now someone let the rest of the lefties know so we can get rid of Obama. He had 4 years.
I was going to say, Conservatives were railing against Obama after a year in office, so Walker has had twice the time Obama had before you guys freaked the F out..

To me it’s a simple case of the people of Wisconsin voicing their opinion, placing their vote, and the results are in. They want to give Walker his term in office. The why and wherefores of what the outcome of the recall election is now a mute point.
The liberals are looking for excuses, so they use the money, which I find a bit hilarious, you don’t see them saying anything about Obama out spending McCain in the presidential election, I guess to them outspending only counts when they get outspent and lose??
The majority of the people in Wisconsin have spoken,
Wisconsin Progressive? LOL, what a surprise!! the election is over, Walker won, get over it.

Oh look, another dodge by conservative.
One of you has supporting links. The other... not so much.
