When we win, it will tell every politician in America that if you are bold, if you do the right thing, if you tackle the tough issues, there will be people standing there right with you.
— Scott Walker
One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.
The unions say 'last hired - first fired,', we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom.
But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.
We showed that when we say 'Wisconsin is open for business', we mean it.
In education, they say either property taxes have to go up, or we'll have poor education - that's a false choice.
I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.
Looking at America's history, ordinary people did something extraordinary. Leaders risked their lives for freedoms that we take for granted today. That's what instills confidence. That's us. We will move forward and prosper because that's who we are as Americans.
I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.'
