"The next man that makes a move ... Wisconsin gets it"

Don’t Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s threats to the AWOL Dems remind you a bit of the great scene in Blazing Saddles:

Yup. He’s gonna blast the Wisconsin public employees if those goldarned Democrats don’t get themselves back in the state and vote!

Walker unveiled his budget today, and should’ve slipped the drapes back on it.  The budget cuts spending by 6.7% or $4.2 billion, and the Governor went on to say:

“It’s true we are reducing aid to local government by just over one and a quarter billion dollars, but we are providing almost $1.5 billion in savings through our budget repair bill. If the 14 Senate democrats do not come home, their local communities will be forced to manage these reductions in aid without the benefit of the tools provided in the repair bill. On the other hand, if the Senate democrats do come home, local units of government overall will actually see a net increase in revenue plus savings of more than $150 million.”

That’s right, boys. Ride on back to Wisconsin, or the localities ‘get it’. Or not.
