While Scott Walker is out on a motorcycle ride promoting his campaign for governor Milwaukee County, perhaps he should tell all the businesses that were able to keep people working and keep our economy afloat due to money from the federal stimulus that they should just give the money back. Then he can go after the public services that were able to provide important care to people at a crucial time. After all, Walker detests the stimulus (except when he brags about jobs it created in Milwaukee County).
While he was in Wisconsin Rapids today, he could have stopped by the school district offices and told them that “make[ing] available special education and related services for children with disabilities” was a waste. Or at Newpage paper, he could have personally disposed of the waste products generated by paper making, instead of using the new equipment that was manufactured and installed.
While in Waupaca, Walker could have stopped at the Veterans Home and told the nurses the patient lifts and monitors they are receiving would be nice, but not the federal government’s prerogative to purchase.
In La Crosse, Walker should have gone to Workforce Connections. There, laid off workers were retrained for new careers and older workers with disabilities were trained for part-time employment. On his way out of town Monday morning, Walker will ride past Oak Avenue South, under repair using stimulus funds.
Each disbursement was a tiny cog in the economy. For every item purchased, many people had a hand in production. Slippery Scott would have these people out of work, as a political stunt to get his Party of No back in power. Thanks, but no thanks Walker.

Tuesday update: Eye on Wisconsin and Blogging Blue have more on the Monday and Tuesday legs of Walker’s stunt.
Nicely done, Jim. I’ll have more on the “Rolling Blunder” tour tomorrow.
Unless he was riding on a kochroach bus, I don’t want him spending taxpayer money to spread his manure. Remember–we are BROKE!!
